Immunology Neutro

- Study of specific immunity and how the Eiosinophil – fights parasites, phagocytic
immune system responds to specific agents
Basophil – cause inflammation in asthma,
Immune system phagocytic

-Various network of specialized cells which Monocyte – Macrphages – releases cytokinesis


participates in providing the host with specific
Phagocytosis – cell eating
immunity to infectious agents and allows us to
exist in an environment that includes hostile
microorganisms.
T cell – cell mediated immunity
Immune
- help destroy infected or cancerous cells
- Protected from a disease or the like as by
- antigen specific
inoculation
Thymus produces progenitor cells that mature
- relating to the production of antibodies or
into T cells
lymphocytes that can react with a specific
antigen.

Immunity

- state of being immune from or insusceptible


to a particular disease or the like.
Lymphatic system – part of circulatory system
- condition that permits either natural or
acquired resistance to disease. 1. Draining excess interstitial fluid
3L remaining
- Ability of a cell to react immunologically
2. Transporting dietary lipids
Susceptibility
3. Carrying out immune responses
- state of being susceptible
primary lymphoid organ
- Capable of being affected
- Thymus
Immune system can attack, identify in just 10
- bone marrow - Produces wbc,rbc, platelets
days
and lymphocytes
Immune response
secondary
Non-specific attacks cell, invader and other
- Lymph nodes – filters interstitial fluid and
invader
activates production of phagocytes
Adaptive response can determines friendly
cells,But takes few weeks and Has immunologic
memory - spleen -
Hematopoeisis – formation of WBC &RBC -lymph nodules
Granulocytes
T cell matures in thymus –

Granulocytes – formed in bone marrow
