TCDHA PERIO 1 FINAL EXAM
2024-2025
immune system, also known as the ANSWER complex body definition
system, guards the body from pathogens, viruses, poisons, and
parasites.
inherent system that is there from birth: ANSWER
-not tailored to a particular antigen
-always present
-is not better with
exposure to an infectious agent repeatedly
Throughout life, the adaptive immune system, or ANSWER, develops.
-antigen-specific
-the interval between an infection and a reaction
-memory grows- offers a lifetime defense against reinfection
immune response, or ANSWER, protects the person's life by recognizing
foreign chemicals in the body and building defenses against them.
host response: ANSWER The body's reaction of a person to an infection
Leukocytes behave as autonomous single-cell organisms (ANSWER).
-have the ability to penetrate tissues and independently collect
microorganisms
PMNs and macrophages/monocytes are the two types of perio disease-
related cells.
The ANSWER process by which leukocytes take up and break down
germs is called phagocytosis.
ANSWER, or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs)
-neutrophils
First responders and quick reacters
- apprehend and eliminate bacterial invaders
-transient
, Why leukocytes are drawn to an infection site? ANSWER PMNs are
drawn to bacteria by chemotaxis.
Lysosomes: ANSWER potent digestive and bactericidal enzymes in
PMN
-PMNs successfully eliminate perio pathogens.
monocytes/macrophages: bloodstream-resident ANSWER monocytes
Within the tissues are macrophages.
-takes longer than PMNs to reach the infection site
-encircle and eliminate bacteria
-tubercular cells in persistent inflammation
leukocytes, or tiny white blood cells, aid in the body's defense.
Two kinds: T cells and B cells
B cells, also known as ANSWER B Cells
produces and releases antibodies into the circulation
Two kinds: memory B cells and plasma
antibodies: proteins with an ANSWER shape
Y attaches itself outside the b cell.
-Y's other end bonds to a MO and destroys it
All together, antibodies and ANSWER are referred to as
immunoglobulins.
T cells, also known as ANSWER T cells
amplify other immune cells' reaction to bacterial invasion
-create CYTOKINES-increase the immunological response
Cytokine: ANSWER protein released by cells that influences neighboring
cells' behavior
control the immune cells' behavior
blood's ANSWER sequence of protons, which make up the complement
system:
-help bacteria be phagocytosed
-directly destroy bacteria -create holes in the membrane of bacterial cells
