immunity
resistance to disease, ability to resist damage: bacteria, virus, fungi
immune system- 2 intrinsic controls
innate (release proteins, specific, born with, recognize and destroy foreign substances, pathways) and adaptive (3rd line defense, attacks, takes longer, recognize and destroy, ssmi- specific to antigen, systemic, memories, improves with exposures)
innate has 2 lines of defense
1) skin and mucosa
2) antim proteins, phagocytes
innate has 3 components
surface b (ward off invading pathogens, skin, mucous mb, body secretion), cells, chemical mediators
mucosae lines
body tracts, DURR
NK cells
nonphagocytic large granular lymphocytes, attack cells that have no antigen, deliver death signal
interferon activate
immune cells, signal infected/uninfected cells
humoral immunity
cellular immunity
antibodies produced circulating freely in body fluids, B lymphocytes
lymphocyte acts against target cells, t lymphocytes
antigens target
adaptive responses
T lymphocyte/cells
B cells
mature in thymus
mature in bone marrow
antibodies are proteins
secreted by plasma cells
