Study Notes
Learning Objectives: Chapter 16
- Innate immunity, adaptive immunity, TLRs, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), lysozyme, probiotics, prebiotics, leukocytes, granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils), macrophages, inflammation, vasodilation, edema, histamine, prostaglandins, cytokines, stroma, parenchyma, complement activation, classical pathway, membrane attack complex (MAC) are defined
- Three examples of PAMPs are identified
- First and second lines of defense in immunity are described
- Defensive mechanisms of the eyes, mouth, lungs, urethra, vagina, and colon are outlined, including chemical factors
- Granulocytes and agranulocytes are compared regarding functions and locations
- Signs/symptoms, function, and roles of C-reactive protein (CRP) and TNF-α in inflammation are summarized
- Three stages of inflammation are outlined, referencing Figure 16.8
- Examples of high, moderate, and low/no regenerative tissue repair are cited
- Classical complement activation pathway, starting with antibody-antigen binding and creating a transmembrane channel in the bacterial membrane, is detailed
Mastery-Oriented Student Objectives
- Roles of CRP, fibroblasts (simulated by cytokines), and damage to blood vessel walls in heart disease (inflammation) are postulated
- Aspirin and ibuprofen's effects on blood clotting (fibrogen) and prostaglandin production are hypothesized, considering their potential impact on heart disease patients and the immune system regulation
