PPT-Innate Immunity

Present before exposure to pathogens Present at birth Nonantigen specific Consists of Skin barrier for microbes and viruses Compromised by abrasion or laceration Sebacious sweat is acidic pH 35 prevents colonization of bacteria. Chapter 16: Innate (nonspecific) Immunity. Some terms:. Susceptibility. : Lack of immunity to a disease.. Immunity. : Ability to ward off disease.. . . immunity. : Defenses against any pathogen.. Chapter 22. Functions of the Immune System. Destroy pathogens (organisms that cause disease). Detect and kill abnormal cells such as cancerous cells. Remove dead cells and debris from the body. Pathogens. Clarence Lam, . Sanket. Patel, . Tairan. Yang, Narthaanan Srimurugathasan. PHM142 Fall 2016. Instructor: Dr. Jeffrey Henderson. Outline. Introduction and components of innate immunity. Differentiation from blood cells and mechanisms of phagocytosis. A. The body has two main mechanisms of defenses. 1. Innate defense mechanisms – first line of defense. A) These defenses are non-specific and . inherited. Immunity Overview. B) Examples:. 1. ) Physical barriers. Year 10 Science Life - psychology. A behaviour is . any observable action. made by a living . person. Examples . include; walking, crying, blinking, eating . etc.. All . of these activities can be . All organisms have innate behaviors that are inherited from parents that develop independently from the environment. Innate behavior is inherited from an individual’s parents and is not modified by the individual and is generally not affected by the organism’s environment, including an organism’s experiences.. disease. Disease-any condition that impairs the normal functioning of the body. Violation of homeostasis. Homeostasis-ability of the body to keep proper internal conditions no matter what is happening outside of it.  . Immunity . is defined as the capacity of the body to resist the pathogenic agents. It is the ability of the body to resist the entry of . different types of . foreign bodies like bacteria, . virus, . The term Immunity has traditionally referred to the resistance exhibited by the host towards injury caused by microorganism and their product.. However, protection against infectious disease is only one of many consequences of immune response, which in its entirety is concerned with the reaction of the body against any foreign antigen.. Dr. . Bipin. Patel. introduction. INTRODUCTION. The term “immunity” is referred to the . resistance of an individual . towards . injury. caused by . microbial stimuli . (microorganisms & their products) & . Learning Objectives. Introduction to Immunity. Innate Immunity. Lymphoid Tissue. Introduction to Immunity. Immunitas. : Freedom from. Immunity is the ability of body to destroy potentially hazardous/harmful foreign substances, if entered in body, that is it provides FREEDOM from any foreign invader.. of certain substances in . the blood and lymph stream. . These . substances are known as antibodies. . This immunity is inborn. . . Antigens. , the foreign substances that attack the body, stimulate the production of antibodies. . Features of adaptive immunity:. Adaptive immunity is characterized by the following:. 1. Antigenic specificity: (. highly specific).. 2. Diversity : . ( each antigen there is specific T-cell and B-cell for it).. There are lots of . micoorganisms. that we . encounter everyday . through breathing, touching, and eating. . Most are detected and . destroyed within minutes or hours . by defense mechanisms that do not rely on the clonal expansion of antigen-specific lymhphocytes. .
