Questions and Answers

Macrophages primarily function to signal other immune cells rather than directly combat pathogens.

False

What is the initial step in the classical pathway of the complement system?

  • C3 convertase formation
  • Cytokine secretion
  • Phagocytosis by macrophages
  • CRP binding to the pathogen surface (correct)
  • What do complement factors form after being cleaved in the classical pathway?

    C3 convertase

    Match the immune components with their functions:

    <p>C1 = Induces activation in the classical pathway Macrophages = Engulf and digest pathogens C-reactive protein (CRP) = Binds to pathogen surfaces C3 convertase = Cleaves complement factors to amplify the immune response</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    ### The Innate Immune System

    • Forms the second line of defense against pathogens
    • Induces inflammation at sites of infection
    • Uses signaling molecules like cytokines for activation and chemokines for migration

    The Adaptive Immune System

    • Forms the third line of defense
    • Highly selective and variable specificities
    • Has a slow response
    • Activates and proliferates pathogen-specific lymphocytes
    • Undergoes clonal expansion

    Immune System Mechanisms

    • The complement system is part of the innate immune system with multiple pathways.
    • The classical pathway involves the complement protein C1 binding to the surface of pathogens.
    • The complement system is essential for the clearance of pathogens from human systems.

    Immune Cell Interactions

    • Macrophages are innate immune cells that engulf and destroy pathogens.
    • They secrete cytokines to initiate inflammation
    • T cells are adaptive immune cells; they can target specific pathogens
    • B cells produce antibodies, which can neutralize pathogens
    • The innate and adaptive immune systems collaborate for effective pathogen clearance.

    ### Hematopoiesis

    • All immune cells originate from a common pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell.
    • Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) are innate immune cells.
    • Tissue cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells are part of the innate immune system.
    • Lymphocytes are adaptive immune cells, including T cells, B cells, and NK cells.
