Immune System (IS) ANS Tissues, cells and biological mediators that work together defending or
protecting host organism from foreign substances and abnormal cells



Immunity ANS Process by which a host organism protects itself from attacks by external and internal
agents



Acquired immunity ANS Formation of specific antigen-antibody and specific responses



Self ANS Anything that is derived from the host



Nonself ANS Anything physically outside the host



What are the major components of the vertebrate immune system? ANS Cellular and humoral immunity



Cellular immunity ANS Mediated by various IS cells



Cytokines ANS Protein or peptide molecules function as powerful mediators of immune system



Lymphokines ANS Produced by lymphocytes



Monokines ANS Monocytes and macrophages



Chemokines ANS Attractant molecules that interact between cells and complement proteins and are
important in destroying pathogens



Phagocytes ANS Complex molecular structures on surface of invading cells or in secretions and fluids of
the host body

,Humoral immunity ANS Fluid parts of IS



What is the most important part of humoral immunity? ANS Antibody



What are antibodies also called? ANS Immunoglobulins



What are the two major parts of Immune System? ANS Innate and Adaptive (Acquired) immunity



Innate immunity ANS Nonspecific IS

- immediate line of immune defense

- present at birth
- external
- no modifications needed



What cells are of the innate immune system? ANS Phagocytic leukocytes and natural killer cells



What are the two major phagocytic cells? ANS Polymorphonuclear cells

Mononuclear cells



What are the three major roles of complement in immunity? ANS Lysis

Opsonization and phagocytosis
Mediation of inflammation



Adaptive (acquired) Immunity ANS Most highly evolved

- most specific
- evolves via specific contact

- adapt to and destroy new pathogens



Antithetical antigen ANS Antigen that an antibody is made against

,B lymphocytes ANS Develop in bone marrow and are responsible for humoral immunity (antibody
production)
- when activated become plasma cells
- do not normally exceed 2%



T- Lymphocytes ANS Originate in bone marrow but mature in thymus

- responsible in cell-mediated immunity
- regulates antibody reactions
- 60-80% of circulating lymphocytes



What are the types of T Lymphocytes? ANS Helper/Inducer T-cells (CD4)

Cytotoxic T-cells (CD8)
Regulatory Suppressor T-Cells

Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells)



Helper/Induce T-cells (CD4) ANS - activates and directs

- secrete cytokines that activate macrophages
- assist B cells in antibody production
- activate suppressor cells
*MHC Class II*



Cytotoxic T-Cells (CD8) ANS - attack and lyse cells infected with viruses, tumor cells, bacteria, and cells
that are damaged or otherwise dysfunctional
*MHC Class I*



Regulatory (suppressor) T cells ANS Inhibit activities of B-cells and T-cells



Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells) ANS Granular lymphocytes, destroy tumor cells and virus-infected cells



What cells are considered Granulocytes? ANS Neutrophils

Basophils

, Eosinophils



Neutrophils ANS Purpose is in phagocytosis



Basophils ANS Accumulate at inflammatory sites and release histamines

-activated by IgE



Eosinophils ANS Kill invading microorganisms

Control allergic reaction



What cells are considered agranulocytes? ANS Monocytes

Macrophages



Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) ANS Key component of adaptive immunity



Chemokines ANS Chemical signals



Cytokines ANS Mediators



What are the two main cytokines? ANS Lymphokines

Monokines



Major Histocompatability Complex (MHC) ANS Critical in immune recognition and regulation of antigen
presentation



Class I molecules are present in what type of cells? ANS Uncleared cells except trophoblasts and sperm



Class II molecules are present in what type of cells? ANS Antigen-presenting cells



IgG ANS crosses placenta
