Substances that coat particles & organisms to make them more susceptible to phagocytosis - Ex. CRP, C3b, antibodies
Opsonins
normal serum constituents that increase by at least 25% due to infection, injury, or trauma to tissues; produced primarily by _.
AcutePhaseReactants, hepatocytes
surface receptors that promote cell to cell interaction
Integrins
[Phagocytosis] release of enzymes from granules; respiratory burst occurs via oxidative metabolism
Digestion
[Phagocytosis] migration of phagocytes from the blood vessels (capillaries) to the injured tissue
Diapedesis
[Phagocytosis] made possible thru TLRs found on surface of phagocytes
Initiation
[Phagocytosis] outflowing of cytoplasm occurs and formation of phagosome
Engulfment
Celullar component of 3rd Line of Defense
B cells and T cells
Humoral component of 2nd Line of Defense
Complement system (major component), Interferons
Humoral component of 3rd Line of Defense
Antibodies – IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE; Cytokines
Cellular component of 2nd Line of Defense
Phagocytic cells (major component), Antigen Presenting Cells, NK Cells
Lymphocyte that has Antibody-Dependent & Cellular Cytotoxicity as Immunity
NK cells
Immunity of T cells
Cell-mediated
Immunity of B cells
Humoral mediated
[SPLEEN] _ _ _ produces T cells
Periarteriolar Lymphoid Sheath
Lymphoid organ that acts as a lymphatic filter; it's the major site of antibody production
Spleen
main functions is filtration of lymphatic fluid
Lymph nodes
Maximum size at birth and undergoes physiologic atrophy as we age
Thymus
