1
Q
Immunity is
A
Protection against foreign
pathogens or substances
2
Q
Forms of Immunity
A
- Innate Immunity
- Adaptive Immunity
3
Q
Innate Immunity
A
Found in both invertebrates and vertebrates
4
Q
Function of Innate Immunity
A
- Preventative defenses
- General response against common antigens/ pathogens
- Less specific than adaptive immunity
- In ALL multi-cellular organisms
- ALWAYS on
5
Q
Adaptive Immunity
A
Not found in invertebrates; only vertebrates
6
Q
Function of Adaptive Immunity
A
- Tailored responses to specific antigen/ pathogens
- Crispr system in some bacteria and some arched
7
Q
Example of Innate Immunity
A
Human Skin
1. Forms a physical barrier
2. Forms a chemical barrier
- Z
8
Q
Innate Immune Cells
A
- Macrophage
- Monocytes
- Neutrophils
- Mast cells
- Dendritic cells
- NK cells
9
Q
Example of Adaptive Immunity
A
Human Skin
1. Antigen-specific Immune Cells
B-cells: humoral immunity
T-cells: cell-mediated immunity
10
Q
B-cells
A
Plasma cells that produce antibodies
11
Q
T-Cells
A
Unlimited binding; recognizes P-cells on the surface of the infected cells
