- Learn about immune responses
What is Neutrophils
Infection fighting agents, usually first to arrive; scene of infection. Attracted by various chemical released by infected tissue; escape from capillary wall, migrate to site of infection & phagocytize microorganisms, WBC
WBC bind to IgE, release histamin in anaphylaxis **defend your body from allergens, pathogens and parasites** . Basophils release enzymes to improve blood flow and prevent blood clots
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
Basophils
Regulator cells that activate, call up, B cells to produce antibodies
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
WBC bind to IgE, release histamin in anaphylaxis **defend your body from allergens, pathogens and parasites** . Basophils release enzymes to improve blood flow and prevent blood clots
Monocytes
Connective tissue cells that contain histamine, heparin, hyaluronic acid, slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis & serotonin
WBC in tissues, produce by different monocytes, they phagocytize & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to respond to pathogens
WBC; replenish macrophages & dendritic cells in normal states & respond to inflammation by migrating to infected tissue to become macrophages & dendritic cells; their conversion elicits an immune response
Macrophages
WBC in tissues, produce by different monocytes, they phagocytize & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to respond to pathogens
Connective tissue cells that contain histamine, heparin, hyaluronic acid, slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis & serotonin
Mast Cells
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
WBC in tissues, produce by different monocytes, they phagocytize & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to respond to pathogens
Connective tissue cells that contain histamine, heparin, hyaluronic acid, slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis & serotonin
B cells (B lymphocytes)
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
WBC in tissues, produce by different monocytes, they phagocytize & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to respond to pathogens
Connective tissue cells that contain histamine, heparin, hyaluronic acid, slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis & serotonin
Memory B cells
WBC in tissues, produce by different monocytes, they phagocytize & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to respond to pathogens
Connective tissue cells that contain histamine, heparin, hyaluronic acid, slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis & serotonin
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
Stimulate a quick response w/ subsequent exposures to an antigen; they recognize (recall) the antigen as foreign, leading to rapid antibody production
Plasma Cells
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
Stimulate a quick response w/ subsequent exposures to an antigen; they recognize (recall) the antigen as foreign, leading to rapid antibody production
WBC that develop from B cells & produce large volumes of specific antibodies
T cells (T lymphocytes)
Connective tissue cells that contain histamine, heparin, hyaluronic acid, slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis & serotonin
Cells that mature in BONE MARROW, differentiate into memory cells or immunoglobulinsecreting (antibody) cells. Eliminate bacteria, neutralize bacterial toxins, prevent viral reinfection, produce the immediate inflammatory response
Produced in bone marrows & mature in the thymus, 2 major types that work to destroy antigens: regulator cells & effctor cells
Killer T cells
Stimulate a quick response w/ subsequent exposures to an antigen; they recognize (recall) the antigen as foreign, leading to rapid antibody production
WBC that develop from B cells & produce large volumes of specific antibodies
T cells that destory virus-infected cells by releasing lymphokines that degrade cell walls; they are also called cytotoxic cells & effector cells
Helper T cells
WBC that develop from B cells & produce large volumes of specific antibodies
Produced in bone marrows & mature in the thymus, 2 major types that work to destroy antigens: regulator cells & effctor cells
Regulator cells that activate, call up, B cells to produce antibodies
Eosinophils
WBC that develop from B cells & produce large volumes of specific antibodies
T cells that destory virus-infected cells by releasing lymphokines that degrade cell walls; they are also called cytotoxic cells & effector cells
WBC involved in allergic rxns
Natural killer lymphocytes
Cells that destroy cancer, foreign and virus infected cells
WBC that develop from B cells & produce large volumes of specific antibodies
Produced in bone marrows & mature in the thymus, 2 major types that work to destroy antigens: regulator cells & effctor cells
