Create antibodies
B cells
Make up 5-10 percent of circulating lymphocytes. These lymphocytes attack foreign cells, body cells infected with viruses, and cancer cells that appears in normal tissues. Their continuous monitoring of peripheral tissues is called immune surveillance.

Thymus
Action of the Spleen?
- Cares for RBC’s - breaks down and recycles them
- Major Iron Storage Cite
- Initiate Immune Response
packed full of white blood cells
Type of immunity you are born with.
Skin, mucous membrane etc
do not distinguish one type of threat from another. Their response is the same, regardless of the type of invading agent. These defenses, which are present at birth, provide a defence capabillity known as nonspecific resistence.
Innate
Immunity you are not born with
Adaptive
Immune system is stimulated to produce its own antibodies
Active Adaptive Immunity
Type of immunity when you come across germs in environmental- causes you to produce your own immunity to it
Naturally acquired active immunity
Purposefully produce immunity (vaccinations)
Artificially induced active immunity
This type of immunity is obtained by the transfer of antibodies
Passive adaptive immunity
Type of immunity one gets from Maternal antibodies through things like breast feeding
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Type of immunity one gets from injection of antibodies
Artificially induced passive immunity
Lymphocyte does not attack pathogens
Antibody-mediated immunity
Antibody-mediated immunity usually are refers to what type of cell
B cells
an immune response that does not involve antibodies, but rather involves the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.
Cell-mediated immunity
Cell-mediated immunity usually refers to what type of cell?
T-cells
What are the steps of activation for antigen recognition?
- Specific antigen—> Find the antigen to bind to
2. Chemical stimulus
All nucleated cells, If antigen is present this class tells T-cells "I'm abnormal or an infected cell kill me"
Class I
This class is recognized by cytotoxic and suppressor T cells
Class I
This class tells T-cells “look what I found. Dangerous. kill it NOT ME.”
Class II
T cells with CD8 markers
Cytotoxic and Suppressor
How are Class I Cells killed?
- Infected cells present antigen
- Presentation with MHC class I protein
- Cytotoxic T cells recognize Class I MHC
- Cytotoxic T cells bind to infected cell
- Divide creating effector and memory cytotoxic T cells
- Effector CT cells kill infected cells
Destroying of membrane by poking holes
Perforin release
Triggers apoptosis
Granzymes
The lymphatic system filters and cleans lymph. Which of the following is the correct order of fluid movement?
Blood- interestitial fluid lymph- blood
What are the functions of the lymphatic system?
absorbs and transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins
drains excess fluid from body tissues to the blood
aids the body’s immune system by filtering out harmful microorganisms from lymph.
How does fever occur?
Result from a reset of the body’s thermostat in the hypothalamus which temporarily increases the set point or target temperature to a higher than normal value.
What is the difference between a humoral specific immune response and cellular specific immune response?
Humoral specific immune response is the defense system made up by of antibodies, defense proteins secreted by lymphocytes that attack foreign agents with a high degree of specificity. Cellular specific immune response is the defense system in which specific lymphocytes (cells) directly attack other foreign cells and agents.
secrete small proteins called cytokines that regulate or assist in the active immune response by activating other immune cells. They also present antigens to B cells.
Helper T Cell
persist long-term after an infection has resolved. They quickly expand to large numbers of effector T cells upon re-exposure to their antigens, thus providing the immune system with “memory” against past infections.
Memory T Cells
crucial for the maintenance of immunological tolerance, because they play a role in suppressing overactive immune responses.
Suppressor T Cells
bridge the adaptive immune system with the innate immune system by producing cytokines and binding to non-MHC or protein bound antigens, such as glycolipids and lipids.
Natural Killer Cells
a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.
Antigen
