LYMPHATIC/IMMUNE SYSTEM
ANATOMY
-
Nodes
small, encapsulated lymphatic organs that filter lymph
-
-
-
Innate immune defenses
-
1st line of defense: skin, mucous membranes,
Skin: keratin-strong, water proof/ Sebrum-oily part of skin
Mucous membranes: Cilia, antibacterial proteins, lysozymes, HCL
2nd line of defense: Phagocytes, fever, Nk cells, Antimicrobial proteins, and inflammation
-
-
-
Antimicrobial proteins
Interferon-makes cells resistant to viral reduction, antiviral
-
-
-
Antigens
-
examples would be the protein capsid of a virus, cell wall of bacteria and tumor cells
Antibodies
binds to antigen and cause neutralization, agglutination and precipitation of pathogens
once it binds to antigen it binds complement, cause opsonization and initiate destruction of the cell by NK cells
