Normal Microbiota
Innate immune system
•Microbial Antagonism (Innate Immunity)
Mechanical Barriers
•Skin (intact) and Epithelium (Type of mechanical barrier)
Ciliated Epithelium and Peristalsis (pushes things out)
Type of mechanical barrier
•Hair (type of mechanical barrier)
Blinking (Mechanical Barrier)
An enzyme that:
•Lysozyme (Chemical Barrier)
Lactoferrin (Chemical Barrier)
•Antimicrobial peptides (chemical barriers)
•Complement (chemical barriers)
Type of protein
What are the two functions of complement (type of protein)?
- Opsonization
- Membrane attack complex
Part of Complement (type of protein) that:
•Opsonization
Part of Complement (type of protein) that:
•Membrane attack complex
Cell with membrane attackers (complement proteins are forming the holes)
Cellular Barriers (innate immunity)
Cellular Barriers (innate immune system)
Process of the innate immune system which:
Phagocytosis (cell grabs pathogen, digests it, and expels it out)
Opsonizatoin (innate immune system)
What are some cellular barriers of the innate immune system that consists of non-phagocytic killing?
•Eosinophils
Part of the innate immune system’s chemical barriers.
Neutrophils
(phagocytosis and digest pathogens)
