AIDS, Lymphatic System, & Immunity
 What is immunity? A pathogen?
 Lymphoid organs, structures, components: Functions? How connected to cardiovascular system?
o Nodes: how used medically? Where located?
o Spleen: consequence of injury?
 Defense Mechanisms: work in isolation?
o Non-specific: when present?
 Species resistance
 Mechanical Barriers. Examples?
 Immunological Surveillance: What is it? Cells involved? Why important?
 Chemical: Types? Complement System: Role?
 Inflammation: How does inflammation do to minimize infection? Sequence of response
 Mast Cells: initiate the response? Role of histamine?
 Fever: good? Bad?
o Specific Defense: Respond to specific antigens
 Lymphocytes: a type of WBC
 Role in the body & primary functions
 Types. Where found? T cells vs. B cells
 What is an antigen? Antibody?
 T cells & Cell mediated immunity: Types?
 A direct process? How activated?
 B cells & antibody mediated immunity: How activated?
 Antibodies: role?
 Primary and secondary responses
 HIV/AIDS: thought questions from the movie
o Retroviruses vs. viruses
o What cells targeted by HIV? How/Steps?
o Effects of HIV in the body? Immediate/latency? Susceptibility to other infections?
o How do the anti-retroviral drugs act?
 Types of immunity: Innate vs. Acquired
o Acquired: Active: natural vs. induced
Passive: natural vs. induced
 Properties of Immunity
o Versatility, Specificity, Memory & Tolerance
 Immune disorders
o Immunodeficiency. HIV. SCID.
o Autoimmune. What happens here?. An example.
o Allergies. A response to allergens.
o Lyme disease: an inflammatory disease. Bull’s eye rash.
