The Immune System
White Cells in the Immune System
Neutrophil
Eliminate bacteria found in cut and wounded skin
Macrophage
Destroys pathogens by directly eating them. Macrophages are located in the lungs liver, skin and gut.
Lymphocytes
T Cell
Killer T Cells
Bump of off any infected cells
Helper T Cell
Help B Cells produce antibodies
Boost Macrophage's abilities to eliminate pathogens
B Cell
Produce antibodies
Dendritic Cells
Assists Helper T Cell identify the pathogen
Ways of destroying a pathogen
Swallowing them whole
Neutrophils and Macrophages swallow a bacteria whole and crush it to pieces
Killing infected cells
Killer T Cells eliminate infected cells that are dangerous to the body
Antibody smothering
Antibodies attach itself to viruses, to prevent them from spreading and clinging onto bacteria
Attracting Macrophages
How does the Immune System work?
The Immune System Remembers all pathogens that have entered your body, so you won't be ill with it again
Immunological Memory
Vaccines trigger your immunological memory without complications from an actual infection
By the time a person has become an adult, they have immunity against multiple virus they come in contact with, both through infections and vaccines
T-Cell
Where is the Immune System located?
The Immune System is made up of cells, known as "Immune Cells"
The Immune System is composed by White Blood Cells (Leukocytes)
White blood cells flow in blood vessels, therefore being present throughout the entire body
Parts of the body with concentration of white blood cells
Lymph Nodes
Spleen
Skin
Able to eliminate germs on the spot
Virus
