PP
Fights pathogens to prevent infections and disease
Works with the lymphatic system (collects fluid and returns it to the blood)
Bone marrow: produces blood cells Lymphocytes: white blood cells (wbc)
Bone marrow: produces blood cells Lymphocytes: white blood cells (wbc) Lymph nodes: stores wbc Thymus: matures wbc
Bone marrow: produces blood cells Lymphocytes: white blood cells (wbc) Lymph nodes: stores wbc Thymus: matures wbc Spleen: contains wbc that clean out pathogens as blood filters through
Antigen: any substance that the immune system responds to.
Antigen: any substance that the immune system responds to. pathogens: cause disease
Antigen: any substance that the immune system responds to. pathogens: cause disease 1. viruses: protein shell containing DNA or RNA 2. Bacteria 3. Fungi (spores) 4. Parasites 5. Toxins (snake bites etc)

Protects body against any pathogen, regardless of the pathogen’s identity.
Skin Block entry Toxic-Sweat & Oil
Skin Block entry Toxic-Sweat & Oil mucous membranes Mucous-traps pathogens Cilia-moves pathogens out of body
Skin Block entry Toxic-Sweat & Oil mucous membranes Mucous-traps pathogens Cilia-moves pathogens out of body stomach acids destroys pathogens
Inflammatory response
1.Injured cells release a chemical signal called histamine to increase blood flow to area
Inflammatory response 1.Injured cells release a chemical signal called histamine to increase blood flow to area 2.Platelets cause clotting trapping pathogens
Inflammatory response 1.Injured cells release a chemical signal called histamine to increase blood flow to area 2.Platelets cause clotting trapping pathogens 3.Area swells, becomes warm, and macrophages/phagocyte (wbc) move in and engulf bacteria
interferons: enzymes that stop virus protein production
fever: slow growth of bacteria and increase activity of wbc Should a fever always be treated? Why or why not?
Your body has many different types of lymphocytes (WBC)
Types of Phagocytes (engulf) Neutrophils: Ingest pathogens
Your body has many different types of lymphocytes (WBC) Types of Phagocytes (engulf) Neutrophils: Ingest pathogens Macrophage: Engulf pathogens & other cell debris Natural Killer Cells: Burst pathogen infected cells
