PPT-The Immune System CAMPBELL and REECE

Chapter 43 Innate Immunity nonspecific defense that is active immediately upon infection found in all animals amp plants includes outer covering skin or shell chemical secretions openings to interior of body. Chapter 40. Agents of Disease. The human body provides a suitable environment for many microorganisms: it is moist, warm and full of nutrients.. Not all microorganisms are harmful; some are beneficial. 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. Solutions to improve treatment. Current . immunosuppressors. …. …suppress the entire immune system, leaving patients more vulnerable to everyday infections and higher rates of cancer.. However, this is necessary because the immune system attacks parts of the body which are work well and are needed (in MS, myelin is targeted, causing demyelination) but we cannot isolate the suppression to just one impact of the immune system so to protect the targeted area we must lower the guard of everywhere else. . Plant Responses to Internal & External Signals. Stimuli & a Stationary Life. observation about plants:. 1 part of plant sends signals to another. sense gravity & direction of light. responds to environmental stimuli & internal signals. A Tour of the Cell. Cell Theory. All living organisms are made of cells. Cells are the smallest unit of structure & function in living organisms. All cells come from other cells.

The Immune System CAMPBELL and REECE Chapter 43 Innate Immunity nonspecific defense that is active immediately upon infection found in all animals & plants includes: outer covering skin or shell chemical secretions Main Function. The Immune System is used to prevent infection and . disease.. Using . a variety of cells and organs, the Immune System disposes of foreign or harmful antibodies through a process known as the immune response.. The specialists who diagnose and treat immune system disorders are called . immunologists. , and the specialty itself is called . immunology. .. Phagocytes. Phagocytes are often the first immune system cells . HIV. (Human immunodeficiency virus)- a virus that attacks the immune system.. Infection with HIV can be prevented. Responsible decisions is the most valuable tool for protection against HIV.. Example: Abstinence from sexual activity and injecting drugs reduce your risk.. Immunity. Immunity. The ability of the body to fight infection and/or foreign invaders by producing . antibodies or killing infected cells.. Immune System. The system in the body responsible for maintaining homeostasis by recognizing . ecognize. A. ttack. D. estroy . A. nd . R. emember. Bodies defense against pathogens. Immune System recognizes the identity of foreign substances. Antigens are found on the cells of all organisms and your body is able to identify your own cells and tell when a foreign cell has entered the system. What is the Immune System?. The immune system is a vast network of cells and tissues.. Located throughout your body.. Involves numerous types of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues.. The immune system can distinguish between your tissues and foreign tissue/ invaders..
