Of the 6 innate body defenses, which is the only one considered the body's first line of defense?

positive chemotaxis

Phenomenon where damaged cells release chemicals. These chemicals attract white blood cells.

proteins

Plasma _______ are the most abundant substances in plasma (except water.) They always remain in the blood because, due to their size, they cannot diffuse through the vessels, which, in turn, creates osmotic pressure. They are not used for an energy source.

thromboxane

Platelets function to help repair the damage to the lining of blood vessels (stick to the broken surfaces; part of the clotting system that produce a "patch.") They create a clot over a damaged lining in a blood vessel (produce _________, a lipid compound that causes platelets to aggregate; also causes new platelets to be formed.

activated, antigen presenting cell

T-cells must be ______ so they can respond to an antigen. Fragments of an antigen are attached to the surface of another cell. This cell is termed an ___________________.

mechanical, chemical, natural killer cells, inflammation, phagocytosis, fever

There are 6 innate body defenses. Name them all.

antigen

_________ is any substance that can cause an immune response.

antibodies

proteins that are specific to a foreign material; bind to the foreign material so it can be eliminated.

memory T cells

After activation, cytotoxic T cells divide into either more cytotoxic T cells or __________. These do not respond to the initial exposure of the non-self antigen, but held in reserve for subsequent exposures. If ever exposed again, these T cells divide immediately in cytotoxic T cells and destroy cells with the same SPECIFIC non-self antigen. They also divide into more of themselves.

red bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells

All of our blood cells are developed in the ______________ and originate from _______________________.

platelets

Also called thrombocytes, are fragments of a larger cell. They develop from stem cells in the bone marrow stimulated by the hormone thrombo. Stem cells become megakaryocytes (these fragment into small sections of cytoplasm). The fragments become ________ as they pass through the capillaries of the lungs.

phagocytosis

Among the innate defenses, _________ is part of the 2nd line of the body's defenses. It functions to remove foreign particles and dead cells. Monocytes are attracted by chemotaxis and they become macrophages when they leave the blood and enter the tissue. They can engulf up to 100 bacteria.

inflammation, neutrophils, monocytes, fibrinogen, fibroblasts

Among the innate defenses, ___________ is part of the 2nd line of the body's defenses. Redness occurs with increase blood flow to the site, swelling occurs due to the leakage of fluid into the site, and heat occurs due to the increased blood flow from deeper parts of the body. ________ arrive 1st, _________ arrive 2nd and become macrophages, increased fluid contains _______ which is converted to fibrin, _______ arrive which produce connective tissue fibers, and the fibrin and CT fibers are used to "wall off" the infected area (i.e. abscess.)

pathogen

An agent that causes disease

interleukin-1

Another 2nd line of defense among the innate defenses is fever. It is produced by lymphocytes when they release a substance called _________. It raises the thermoregulatory set point in the hypothalamus. The increased temperature causes the spleen and liver to pull iron from the blood as bacteria and fungi need it for metabolism, so this can slow or even stop the growth. It also increases phagocytosis by macrophages.

enzymes, defensins

Another chemical innate defense are _______ in body fluids that kill pathogens. Also, _______ are produce by neutrophils and make holes in the outer membranes of pathogens.

collectins

Another innate chemical defense are groups of proteins called _________. They provide broad protection against bacteria, yeasts, and some viruses. They bind to the sugars that are found on the outer membranes of pathogens, which makes phagocytosis of pathogens easier.

light chains, heavy chains

Antibodies are composed of 4 amino acids, 2 identical smaller chains, called ___________, and 2 identical large chains, called __________.

direct attack

Antibodies react to antigens in 3 ways. The first of these is __________. They bind to the antigen, cause them to clump (agglutinate) and makes phagocytosis easier.

activates complement proteins

Antibodies react to antigens in 3 ways. The second of these is _________________________. Extra proteins coat the antibody-antigen complex, makes phagocytosis easier, attracts macrophages and neutrophils (another form of chemotaxis) and ruptures membranes of foreign cells.

promotes inflammation

Antibodies react to antigens in 3 ways. The third of these is __________________. Antibodies usually attach to mast cells which cause the release of histamine and heparin.

inflammation

Basophils release histamine and heparin; histamine causes dilation of small blood vessels and the very smallest vessels to become "leaky." This increases blood flow to the area (becomes red). Fluid leaks into the interstitial spaces (swelling). Swelling delays the microorganisms from spreading to other areas. When bacteria, WBC's, and damaged cells accumulated in the inflamed area, it produces a thick, "soupy" fluid, called pus. Heparin prevents blood from clotting and allows blood flow to the area to remain high.
