Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Immunities Nonspecific Immunity- Quick and nonspecific attack against all invaders; weaker than specific responses Skin- This first line of defense prevents unwanted entry of pathogens. Microbes must permeate the membrane in order to enter the body. Mucous- This sticky substancetraps microbes and neutralizesthem with antiseptic enzymes like lysozyme Specific Immunity- Much stronger fight against antigens; slower but is able to wage war across the entire body Fever- Higher temperatures promote defensive mechanisms to move to the area of fever, quickening response times and shortening infection. Inflammation- Area swells up in an effort to isolate antigenfrom the rest of the body andinitiate the healing process Macrophages/Phagocytes- Engulf intruders and digest them with lysosomes, then presents them to to specific immunity mechanisms. Also secrete cytokines to attract other phagocytes to the antigens. Antigen- Any substance recognized as nonself. Body initiates immune response to remove these. Cell-Mediated Response- Components attack cellsthat have been infected bya pathogen Humoral-Mediated Response- Defense against antigens found in the body's fluid; tries to stop infection before it can attack cells Helper T Cell- Secrete proteins to naive T and B cells, specializing them. In the case of T cells, they become specific like a killer T cell. The B cells are stimulated to produce specific antibodies. B cell- White blood cellcapable of recognizing antigens; when stimulated by a helper T cell, can produce antibodies to defend against antigens or become a memory B cell T Cell- Phagocytes present antigen to these cells, recognize them and, by stimulation of helper T cells, multiply as specificT cells (cytotoxic T cells) and attack the pathogens Antibodies-Specific proteins synthesized by B cells for a single antigen that mark or destroy the cells they recognize Killer/Cytotoxic T Cells- Uses TCR receptors that recognize antigen-MHC complex; attacks cells and kills cells with recognized MHC complexes double click to changethis text!
