Second Line of Defence Key Terms
Across
- 5. Inititian, Vasodilation, Migration
- 9. Macrophage and dendritic cells become this after performing phagocytosis
- 10. Response of histamine that cuases increased blood flow to injury site and increases permeability to cells of the immune system
- 11. A process in which phagocytes consume and destroy foreign or dead materials in the body by engulfing it.
- 15. Complex sequence of events which occurs after the activation of complement proteins.
- 16. Phagocyte that links second and third lines of defence by becoming an APC
- 17. One of the three main features of the second line of defefeatures-specific One of the three main feature of the second line of defence
- 20. Abundant leucocyte that engages in phagocytosis as well as releasing cytokines to activate other immune cells
- 22. This is where complement proteins stick on the surface and encourages the phagocytes to recognise them as foreign. Similar to similar to a seasoning on a BBQ shape to make it look delicious,
- 23. A type of leukocyte responsible for releasing histamine
Down
- 1. Series of biochemical events that occur in the body as a result of infection and/or trauma.
- 2. Another name for white blood cells
- 3. Several different types of proteins found in the blood that opsonise, cause lysis and attract phagocytes to invading pathogens
- 4. Attack pathogens too large to be phagocytosed.
- 6. A type of leucocyte that are mobile and use phagocytosis to and engulf and destroy pathogens or damaged cells.
- 7. Membrane-bound organelle found within a phagocyte that contains digestive enzymes.
- 8. Cells that target abnormal cancerous cells and viarally infected cells and release chemicals that trigger apoptosis. Do not attack free-floating viral particles or cells infected by bacteria.
- 12. A cytokine released from virally infected cells and make surrounding cells less susceptible to the virus.
- 13. Temporary increase in body temperature. Many pathogens cannot survive.
- 14. One of the three main features of the second line of defence
- 15. Complement proteins gather near pathogen and attract phagocytes. Similar to finding a trail of breadcrumbs that draws the phagocyte to the pathogen.
- 18. One outcome of complement proteins. triggers lysis of a pathogen.
- 19. Substance degranulated from Mast Cells that plays a key role in inflammation
- 21. The product of an egulfed pathogen fusing with the lysosome of a phagocyte.
