Explain each character’s “role” in the following video... Body Story: Body Snatchers 1.Nostril Hairs 2.Mucus 3.Spiky Virus (Influenza B) 4.Natural Killer Cells 5.Macrophages 6.Cilia 7.Interleukins 8.Fever 9.Dendritic Cells 10.T Cells 11.B Cells 12.Lymph Glands/Nodes 13.Antibodies 14.Memory Cells

What you will learn today... Specific immune responses target certain pathogens and involve white blood cells Humoral immunity is the activation of B cells to produce antibodies Cell-mediated immunity is the activation of T cells to produce more B cells or killer T cells Memory cells are the body’s way of quickly stopping a reinfection of pathogen
3
The Immune System SpecificSpecific Defenses
4
Function of the Immune System To fight off invading pathogens and prevent the growth of cancers
6
Organs of the Immune System 1.Bone marrow that produces B cells 2.Thymus gland that produces T cells 3. Lymph Nodes 4. Tonsils 5. Adenoids 6. Spleen to break down dead cells; often called “Cell Graveyard”
7
White Blood Cells 1. Also called lymphocytes or leukocytes 2. Types a. T cells b.B cells 3. Dendritic cells: a type of macrophage that recognizes and tags foreign cells as antigens; antigens are labeled differently than your own cells
8
Dendritic Cells:Up Close and Personal
9
Dendritic cells engulfing pathogenengulfing
11
Two types of Immunity 1. Cell-mediated 2. Humoral 3. Both immunities start with a dendritic cells engulfing the antigen, destroying the antigen, and then placing a piece of the antigen on its surface; this LABELS the macrophage with which antigen has attacked the body
13
Cell-Mediated Immune Response 1. Helper T cell recognizes the labeled dendritic cell and both release interleukin 2. Interleukin stimulates helper T cells, killer T cells, and suppressor T cells to rapidly divide within lymph nodes 3. T cells attack and kill all cells that have the antigen
15
Cell-Mediated Immunity
16
Humoral Immune Response 1. Interleukin stimulates B cells to divide into plasma cells 2. Plasma cells produce ANTIBODIES 3. Antibodies inactivate the antigen or mark its destruction by macrophages 4. Memory cells remain in the body to prevent reinfection by the same antigen
18
Humoral Immunity
19
How antibodies work…antibodies
21
Immunity People who are immune to a disease have either survived through the disease or have been given a vaccination
22
Allergies 1. Body sees harmless substances as antigens 2. Excessive release of histamines 3. Refer to “Body Story”
23
Autoimmune Disease Body attacks own cells as antigens Hashimoto's thyroiditis Pernicious anemia Addison's disease Type I diabetes Rheumatoid arthritis Systemic lupus erythematosus Dermatomyositis Sjogren syndrome Lupus erythematosus Multiple sclerosis Myasthenia gravis Reactive arthritis Grave's disease Celiac disease - sprue
