Introduction to Immunology. 1&2 Flashcards

1
Q

The body’s defense system can be divided into

A
  1. Natural/Innate/Non-specific
    E.g unbroken skin, Any body’s secretion, Basic proteins like: lysosome, lysozyme, lysoferrin e.t.c, cells: PMNs, macrophages, NK cells
  2. Adaptive/Acuired/specific:
    Cellular immunity- T-cells
    Humoral- B-cells
