  1. Chapter 43The Body’s Defenses Lymphocytes

  2. I. Innate Immunity • A. The First Line, _________ Defenses • 1.The ______ and ________ membranes are our primary defense. • Sweat glands keep the skin pH at 3-5, too ______ for most microbes. • Tears, saliva, and mucous have antimicrobial proteins including _______ which destroy bacteria.

  3. B. The Second Line… • 1.The ___________response includes localized swelling, redness, and heat of inflammation. • Chemical signals draw clotting factors and _______ cells from the blood into the damaged tissue. 2._________is in tears, saliva and mucous.

  4. __________ interferes with a viruses ability to reproduce. • 3. Cellular _______ ________ include: • a.__________ white blood cells and antimicrobial proteins. • b._____________ proteins can lyse foreign cells. • c.

  5. Phagocytic cells and ________ _______ cells are on the prowl… • a. ________(WBC’s) are attracted to the area of infection by chemical signals given off by infected cells.(__________) • b. ________ migrate into tissues and become macrophages-(big eaters) Phagocytosis

  6. c. ________ attack larger parasitic invaders like the liver fluke. • d. ______ _______ cells destroy virus infected body cells and abnormal cells that might become cancerous. • They don’t “eat” the cells, they attack the cell membrane and lyse the cells.

  7. II.The Specific Line of Defense • A._________(B and T cells) are the key cells of the third line of defense against disease. • 1.___ ___________ include • a. plasma cells -produce antibodies against specific antigens(foreign proteins) • b. _______ cells which circulate for years= immunity!

  8. 2.___ _____________ include a. _________ T cells -destroy infected cells and cancer cells by recognizing the foreign antigens on their surface. b. _________ T cells -alert the immune system when an infection has taken place.

  9. -When we have an infection, the foreign proteins on the surface of the invader, called ________, are recognized by our B and T cells.-The B cells produce ________ to bind to antigens and prevent the invader from entering healthy cells.-The T cells bind to the ________ that are displayed on our own cells and destroy your infected cell.

  10. Immune Tolerance for Self • Immune cells are monitored to assure that they do not have receptors for proteins already present in the body. If they do, they are destroyed by programmed cell death. The _______ to distinguish self from _______ is critical to survival. The immune system exhibits the critical feature of _____-________. Failure of this feature can lead to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, ________, Crohn’s disease and psoriasis.

  11. III. Immune Responses • A. ________ immunity involves B cell activation and results from the production of antibodies in the blood.(respond to free bacteria, viruses and toxins in the blood) • B. ______ ________ immunity depends on the action of T cells.(respond to bacteria and viruses within infected cells and also against fungi, protozoa, and parasitic worms) • C.The _____ ____ cell is necessary for both types of immune responses because they activate both the B cells and the T cells.

  12. IV. Immunity in Health and Disease • A. _________ immunity is conferred from recovering from an infectious disease or artificially through _________. (chicken pox) • B. _________ immunity results when antibodies are transferred from one person to another(mother to child) (rabies injection)

  13. V. HIV • A.Human immunodeficiency virus causes ________, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. • 1.People with AIDS have a ______ immune response and become susceptible to __________ diseases. • 2.38 million are infected and 24 million have died. • 3.There is no ________ in sight. • 4.The creation of ‘________” is a problem when two infected individuals engage in activities that create multi-drug resistant strains of the virus. HIV infected T cell

  14. B. The _____ attacks the Helper T cell, thus eliminating the “_______” of the immune system. The body becomes unable to mount an immune response. • 1.AIDS sufferers typically die of “___________” diseases like pneumonia. • 2.Even the flu can be ________ because of the lack of an immune response.

  15. VI. Emergent Diseases • A. An ______ __________ is an infectious disease that has newly appeared in a population or that has been known for some time but is rapidly ___________ in incidence or geographic range.

  16. VII. What’s Next… • A. Advances in molecular biology promise to provide new __________ for disease. • 1.Genetically engineered ________ work against tumor necrosis factor, the substance that causes rheumatoid athritis and Crohn’s disease. • 2.__________ antibodies are effective against certain cancers like lymphomas. • 3.New advances are just around the corner…
