Describe the part, structure, liquid, organs, and cells that make up the second line of defense of the immune system.
Second Line of Defense: Non-specific cells will work to fight the virus after detecting an invader. 1. THE LYMPH SYSTEM This system contains lymph, which is a clearish liquid that bathes the cells with water and nutrients, and flows through the body in the capillaries. The lymph system detects and filters out bacteria. Different parts of your body have lymph nodes, which contain filtering tissue and lymph cells. When fighting bacterial infections, the lymph nodes swell with bacterial cells to indicate an infection. 2. THE THYMUS This organ is in your chest, between your breast bone and heart. It produces T-cells, which bump into abnormal cells and kill them. 3. THE SPLEEN Spleen filters the blood looking for foreign cells, and replaces old red blood cells. (It can be removed but you would get sick more often) 4. BONE MARROW Marrow produces red blood cells, and also stem cells, which are cells that can branch off and become any type of cell. (like WBC’s) 5. WHITE BLOOD CELLS Also called leukocytes, WBC are independent and move on their own to capture germs. They do not divide or reproduce on their own. There are many 3 classes of leukocytes, with different functions. Granulocytes (most), lymphocytes (B-cells/T-cells), monocytes (least and develop into macrophages)
