Pregunta Respuesta
Function Protect vs diseases & damaging foreign bodies It recognizes & memorizes particular pathogens
Immune System = Specific Immunity + Nonspecific Immunity
Nonspecific Immunity Barriers Skin Chemical
Barriers Are used to protect vs pathogens
Skin 1st major line of defense
Chemical -Nesal secretions, saliva & tears Lysozyme: breaks down bacteria cell walls -Mucus -Hydrochloric acid
Nonspecific responses to invasion If a pathogen gets beyond the barriers...
Cellular Defense Neutrophils-> phagocytosis: blood cells that ingest bacteria Macrophage -> ": blood cells that eat bacteria & remove dead neutrophils Lymphocytes -> Specific immunity: blood cells that produce antibodies
Interferon Protein that binds to neighboring cells & stimuli them to PRODUCE ANTIVIRAL PROTEINS to prevent viral replication
Inflamatory response 1. Pathogens damage the tissue 2. Chemicals are released by the invader & body cells 3. Chemicals attract phagocytes, + blood flow to the infected area & make blood vessels more permeable to allow white cells to scape
Specific Immunity Involves tissues & organs of the lymphatic system
Lymphocytes Type of white cells (produced in red bone marrow)
Lymph nodes Filter lymph & remove foreign materials
Tonsils Form a protective ring of lymphatic tissue between nasal & oral cavities
Spleen Stores blood & destroys damage red blood cells
Thymus Gland Activates a special lymphocytes (T cells)
B cells response Antibodies Antigen B lymphocytes (cells)
Antibodies Proteins produced by B lymphocytes that react with an antigen (invasor)
Antigen Foreign substance that causes an immune response
B lymphocytes (cells) Antibody factories (located in lymphatic tissue)
B-Cells attack invaders OUTSIDE the cells T-Cells Attack invaders INSIDE the cells
