immune system 3 layers
external barrier
innate immunity
adaptive immunity
explain external barrier immunity
must attach and penetrate epithelial layers:
skin
mucus - coat cell surfaces
epithelial cells of the nasal passage and bronchi both have (cilia) hair-like structure remove with sneezing and coughing
flughing action of saliva, tears, urine
chemical barrier: sweat high NaCl, stomach digestive enzymes ph
barrier innate immunity
phagocyte, compliment, mast cell
barrier adaptive immunity
B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes
innate response
non specific:
distinguish between human cell and pathogen - but not different type of pathogen
fast and immediate: first come into play
no memory: will produce the same response
adaptive response
Highly specific:
distinguin between pathogenwhile T lymphocytes are components of adaptive immunity as they differentiated to cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells. based on shame oof surface (antigen)
slower: can take few days to cdevelop
immunological memory: memory cells remember.
phagocyte
cell eating
trach down engulf and destroy bacteria and own dead cells
phagocyte cells
Neutrophils - contain granules filed destructive enzymes. most abundant WBC 50%-60%
monocytes (macrophages) - break down pathogen process components of pathogen caled antigen to produce specific immune response in form of Ab and cytotoxic T cells
(ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS) APCs
