Term
Two portions that blood seperates into:
Definition

Serum- blood plasma (straw colour)

Clot- insoluble fibre called fibrin

Term
Thrombosis
Definition
Blood clots too quickly
Term
Hemorrage
Definition
Blood clots to slowly
Term
Three stages of clot formation?
Definition

Two pathways (tissue damage)

Prothrombinase

Thrombin

Term
Tissue Factor is released from damage cells and if this is present clotting cascade begins?
Definition
Calcium ion
Term
Which pathway is more complex?
Definition
Intrinsic

Fibrinolytic
Term
Fibrinolytic
Definition
process which clot is dissolved
Term
Prostacyclin

clot forming in an unbroken blood vessel on rough inner lining
Term
Embolus
Definition
clot, air bubble or fat from broken bone in the blood
Term
When a object migrates from one part of the body to cause a blockage in another part?
Definition
Embolism
Term
What are the 4 blood groups?
Definition
A, B, AB, O
Term
Glycoprotins and glycolipids are?
Definition
antigens
Term
This can distinguish different blood groups and blood types?
Definition
Presence or absence of certain antigens
Term

Definition
Resistance
Term
Lack of resistance?
Definition
Susceptibilty
Term
Bodily defences that protect us from almost any kind of pathogen
Definition

Non specific resistance

reacts the same to all pathogens

Term
Immunity or ability to fight a specific pathogen? 
Definition
Specfic resistance aka immunity
Term
Two ways specfic resistance (immunity) is possible?
Definition

Cell mediated immunity (T cell)

Antibody mediated immunity (Bcell)

Term
Functions of lympatic system?
Definition

Drain excess interstitual fluid

Transporting dietary lipid, vitamin from GI-blood

Facilitating Immune respones

Term
Immunocompetence
Definition
cells abilty to act as a mediator of immunity (recognize and respond to specfic antigens)
Term
These cells are developed in bone marrow from pluripotent stem cells
Definition
B Cells
Term
Pluripotent
Definition
ability to have multiple outcomes
Term
This cell develops in Thymus, arise from pluripotent stem cell
Definition
T cell
Term
These cells arise before puberty and continue throughout life?
Definition
T cells
Term
What are the two required characteristics of an antigen?
Definition

Immonogenicity- ablilty to provoke immune response

Reactivity- ability to react to cells antibodies it caused to form

Term
Three routes foreign materials may get into the body?
Definition

Blood stream- deposited in the spleen

Skin- penetrates skin, ends up in lymph nodes

muscous membrane- logged in lymphatic tissue

Term
M.A.L.T
Definition
Mucosa Associated Lymphatic Tissue
Term
Major Histocompatibility complex antigens
Definition
unique surface markersm binds to parts of foreign antigens and present them to T cells
Term
MCH1 molecules
Definition
built into the cell membrane of all cells except red blood cells
Term
MCH 2 molecule
Definition
markers seen on membranes of all antigen presenting cells
Term
Cytokines
Definition
small protein hormones involved in immune responses, have the ability to stimulate or inhibit normal cell functions, active T cells
Term
What are the two things that a T cell needs to recognize an antigen?
Definition

T cell receptors must be designed for specific antigen

CD4 or CD8 surface protein must bind with antigen MHC complex

Term
Does a T cell require both a first and second signal?
Definition
Yes
Term
Co-stimulation

Definition
Secondary lymphatic organs
Term
Types of T cells
Definition

Helper T cells

Cytotoxic T cells (killer)

Memory T cells

Term
5 different classes of antibodies
Definition

IgG (most abundant, crosses placenta)

IgA (stress decreases levels of IgA)

IgM (first secreted by plasma cells)

IgD

IgE (involved in hypersensitivity and allergic reactions)

Term
Immunological memory
Definition
responses are quicker and more intense the second time, first immune response takes days, second response can take only hours
Term
Primary response
Definition
no antibodies produced for 10 days to 4 weeks, first antibodies produced are IgM then IgG
Term
Secondary response
Definition
response much quicker, IgG reacts  as quickly as IgM, response can occur without getting sick, 1000's memory cells
Term
Antibody Tier
Definition
Diagonstic tool to see how much antibody your body produces in presence to certain antigens
Term
Types of Immunities
Definition

Naturally acquired Active- immunity occurs when a person is exposed to to live pathogen

Naturally acquired passive immunity- through placenta before birth

Artifically Aquired Active- induced by a vaccine

Artifically Acquired Passive Immunity- short term immunization induced by transfer of antibodies
