Cytokines: stimulates immune response by increasing inflammation, stimulating lymphocytes, and enhancing phagocytosis
-
-
-
complement cascade: series of actions that activate 20 proteins that stimulates phagocytosis, lysis of baceterial cell membranes, attract WBCs to site of infection, clumping of cells w/ foreign antigens, and alteration of virus structure
-
-
Lymphocyte activation: lymphocytes develop, mature, and are selected when you're young; they begin as undifferentiated w/ potential to become anything
-
Cells:
B-cells: responsible for antibody-mediated immunity, fighting pathogens by making and releasing antibodies to attack specific pathogens
antigen displaying cells: sends out signals calling for weapons of adaptive immunity, and B/T cells
cytotoxic t-cells: responsible for death of pathogens, releases cytokine(perforin), stimulates innate and adaptive immunity attracting macrophages to site of infection
Memory T-cells: responsible for secondary response and adaptive immunity's ability to improve w/ experience
