Which crucial feature is included in the adaptive immune response following the first exposure to a pathogen?
Immunological memory
What is a common origin for both neutrophils and macrophages?
Hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow
Which activity is carried out by both neutrophils and macrophages?
Phagocytosis
What type of immune response are neutrophils and macrophages key components of?
Innate immune response
What do memory cells generated by the adaptive immune response 'remember'?
The specific pathogen
Which immune cell is more abundant and often the first responder to infection?
Neutrophils
What type of immune cell plays a role in repairing damaged tissues in addition to its function as a sentinel and destroyer of microbes?
Macrophages
Which immune cell is primarily found in the bloodstream and is quickly recruited to sites of infection?
Neutrophils
Which immune cell plays a role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses by presenting antigens to T cells?
Macrophages
Which immune cell contains specific granules that contribute to their microbicidal activity?
Neutrophils
From where do tissue-resident macrophages originate?
Fetal liver yolk sac
What is the lifespan of neutrophils?
A few hours to days
What is the primary function of macrophages in repairing damaged tissues?
Phagocytosing infected cells
What distinguishes neutrophils from macrophages in terms of lifespan?
Short-lived lifespan of a few hours to days
Which immune cell is involved in the assembly of phagocyte oxidase?
Neutrophils
What distinguishes tissue-resident macrophages from inflammatory macrophages in terms of lifespan?
Years
What differentiates the degranulation process in neutrophils and macrophages?
Major response induced by cytoskeletal rearrangement
Which immune cell contains lysosomes aiding in phagocytosis?
Macrophages
What is the primary role of neutrophils in the immune response?
Eliminating phagocytosed microbes
Which immune cell is more abundant and acts as a resident immune cell in tissues throughout the body?
Macrophages
What contributes to the microbicidal activity of neutrophils?
Rapid induction of reactive oxygen species
What distinguishes the response to activating stimuli in neutrophils and macrophages?
Prolonged, slower, often dependent on new gene transcription
What is the primary difference between the kinetics of the innate immune response and the adaptive immune response?
The innate immune response takes days to weeks for the initial response, while the adaptive immune response establishes memory for a faster and more effective secondary response upon re-exposure.
What is a distinguishing characteristic of neutrophils and macrophages in terms of their microbicidal activity?
Neutrophils engulf and digest foreign particles, while macrophages release antimicrobial substances.
What is a key similarity between the origin of neutrophils and macrophages?
Both neutrophils and macrophages originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
What do memory cells generated by the adaptive immune response 'remember'?
Memory cells 'remember' the antigens present in the pathogen.
Which immune cell plays a role in repairing damaged tissues in addition to its function as a sentinel and destroyer of microbes?
Tissue-resident macrophages
What type of immune cell is primarily found in the bloodstream and is quickly recruited to sites of infection?
Neutrophils
What is the approximate time frame for the adaptive immune response to establish memory for a faster and more effective secondary response upon re-exposure to a pathogen?
Days to weeks
What is a common feature of both neutrophils and macrophages in terms of their origin?
Both neutrophils and macrophages originate from hematopoietic stem cells.
What plays a role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses by presenting antigens to T cells?
Dendritic cells
Which immune cell contains specific granules that contribute to their microbicidal activity?
Neutrophils
