1
Susceptibility- Lack of resistance to a disease Resistance/ immunity- Ability to ward off disease Innate (nonspecific) immunity- Resistance to all microbes; present from birth (can be species specific) Adaptive (specific) resistance- Resistance to a specific pathogen Immunity
2
Host defense systems Figure 16.1 - Overview (1 of 3)
3
First line of defense- skin -Physical factors -Chemical factors -Microbiota
4
First line of defense- mucosal surfaces -Physical factors * Mucous production * Cilia * Hairs
5
First line of defense- mucosal surfaces -Physical factors -Chemical factors -Normal microbiota
6
First line of defense- lacrimal apparatus -Physical factors -Chemical factors
7
Second line of defense- blood cells! Bruce Wetzel (photographer). Harry Schaefer (photographer) National Cancer Institute

Figure 16.6 Figure 16.7 - Overview Processes: Phagocytosis
12
Chemicals released by damaged cells that cause: - Vasodilation - Increased permeability - Activation of Complement system Processes: Inflammation
13
Processes: The Complement System Activation of complement proteins will: 1. Enhance phagocytosis 2. Punch holes in microbes 3. Cause inflammation
