By Brittaney Luu The Innate Immune Response Symptoms The Physical Barrier A keratin plug is present in nonlactating women to prevent the entry of bacteria created from the stratified squamous epithelium. THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. NONSPECIFIC DEFENSES AGAINST INFECTION INCLUDE THE. SKIN. MUCOUS MEMBRANES. PHAGOCYTIC CELLS. ANTIMICROBIAL PROTEINS. THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. NONSPECIFIC DEFENSE MEANS THAT THEY DON’T DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MICROBES. Simon Kenyon. Udder anatomy. Udder anatomy. Allometric. Growth. Economic Impact. 40% of morbidity on dairy farms. Most costly cattle disease in the US. Estimated cost to the industry greater than 2 billion dollars/yr. Super Awesome Powers of Cell Signaling!. Reminder - Do the Questions!.

Immunological unresponsiveness to self is referred to as . tolerance. or . self-tolerance. Very important to human health. How is this achieved?. -cells with receptors for self-antigens are destroyed in the thymus or bone marrow (central tolerance). Adaptive . Non-adaptive (. cell injury-----cell death). hypertrophy.
