Figure 43.1 An overview of the body's defenses
Innate Immunity (faster response) Adaptive Immunity (slower response)

Non-specific Immunity (Innate)
Mucous membranes (lysozyme) Low pH Phagocytic Cells: Neutrophils (in blood, destroy infected cells) Macrophages: migrate, organs, tissues, eat pathogens Dendritic Cells: in tissues, stimulate specific immun. Eosinophils: defend against parasitic worms Natural Killer Cells: target virus-infected cells and cancerous cells
5
Non-specific continued…..
Interferon – produced by virus-infected cells; nearby cells stimulated to stop viral replication. Complement system proteins that circulate Recognize invaders Cascade of chemicals result in lysis of pathogen

Complement System Animation

Non-specific continued…..
Inflammatory response: Result of injury Mast cells in tissues release histamine Blood vessel dilation Cytokines released by macrophages and nuetrophils: promotes blood flow (bv dialation also) Results in more cells coming to the area for help Swelling (edema)
