Immune System Gavin Arias Per.1 - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Artificial(active)-exposure to a vaccine stimulates the immune response without the severe symptoms of a disease
        
        Artificial(passive)-injection of an antiserum or gamma globulins provides short-term immunity without stimulating an immune response
        
        Natural(active)-exposure to live pathogens stimulates an immune response with symptoms of a disease
        
        Natural(passive)-antibodies passed to a fetus from a pregnant woman with active immunity or to newborn through colostrum or breast milk from a woamn with active immunity provides short-term immunity for a newborn without stimulating an immune response
- - - - Innate-guards against many types of pathogens and respond quickly;includes species resistance, mechanical barriers, chemical barriers, natural killer cells, inflammation, phagocytosis, and fever
        
        Adaptive-responds against only a specific type of pathogen and responds more slowly; accomplished by specialized lymphocytes which secrete cytokines or anibodies
- - - - Thymus-located in the upper thoracic cavity, it has lobules that contain lymphocytes, some of which mature into T cells
        or T lymphocytes, that leave the thymus to provide immunity
        
        Lymph Nodes-located in the cervical, thoracic,
        axillary, supratrochlear, abdominal, pelvic, and inguinal regions, they monitor body fluids; performed by lymphocytes and macrophages and and remove bacteria and cellular debris before lymph is returned to the blood
        
        Spleen-located in the upper left abdominal cavity, it filters the blood and removes damaged blood cells and bacteria
