The body has two defense systems for foreign materials that form the immune system Immunity—specific resistance to disease (such as bacteria, virus, fungus) ◦ Provided for by the adaptive defenses © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
3
Innate (nonspecific) defense system ◦ Mechanisms protect against a variety of invaders ◦ Responds immediately to protect body from foreign materials Adaptive (specific) defense system ◦ Specific defense is required for each type of invader © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
4
mechanical barriers that include: ◦ Body surface coverings ◦ Specialized cells ◦ Chemicals produced by the body See Table 12.1 for a more detailed summary © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
5
first line of defense: ◦ Skin and mucous membranes 1.Acidic pH of the skin inhibits bacterial growth 2.Stomach mucosal secretions kill pathogens (HCl) 3.Saliva and lacrimal (eyes) fluid contain lysozyme 4.Mucus traps microogranisms © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
6
second line of defense: ◦ Natural killer (NK) cells ◦ Inflammatory response ◦ Phagocytes ◦ Antimicrobial proteins ◦ Fever © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
7
Found in blood and lymph Release perforin (lytic chemicals) ◦ Does not discriminate ◦ targets abnormal cell’s membrane and nucleus ◦ causes disintegration of cancer or virus-infected cells http://biology-animations.blogspot.com/2010/04/nk-cell- animation.html http://biology-animations.blogspot.com/2010/04/nk-cell- animation.html © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Takes place when tissues are injured/damaged Functions: ◦ Prevent spread of damaging agents ◦ Phagocytosis eliminates cell debris and pathogens ◦ Sets the stage for tissue repair Begins with redness, heat, swelling, pain © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
9
Release of inflammatory chemicals causes: 1. Blood vessels dilate and leak 2. Pain receptors to be activated 3. Influx of neutrophils and macrophages ◦ Neutrophils devour foreign materials ◦ Macrophages replace spent neutrophils and dispose of cell debris © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
10
Neutrophils 1 Enter blood from bone marrow and roll along the vessel wall 2 Diapedesis 3 Positive chemotaxis Capillary wall Endothelium Basement membrane Inflammatory chemicals diffusing from the inflamed site act as chemotactic agents
11
Implored when pathogens get through the first line of defense Macrophages or neutrophils will: 1.Engulf foreign material into a vacuole 2.Vacuole fuses with a lysosome 3.Enzymes from lysosomes digest the material © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

(a) A macrophage (purple) uses its cytoplasmic extensions to pull spherical bacteria (green) toward it. Scanning electron micrograph (10,800×).
13
(b) Events of phagocytosis 1 Lysosome Acid hydrolase enzymes Phagosome (phagocytic vesicle) Phagocyte adheres to pathogens. Phagocyte engulfs the particles, forming a phagosome. Lysosome fuses with the phagocytic vesicle, forming a phagolysosome. Lysosomal enzymes digest the pathogens or debris, leaving a residual body. Exocytosis of the vesicle removes indigestible and residual material. 2 3 4 5 Slide 1
14
Complement proteins ◦ Complement Fixation: proteins become fixed to sugars/proteins (antibodies) on a foreign cell’s surface ◦ Membrane Attack Complexes (MAC): lesions produced by fixation Creates holes in the cell’s surface Water enters and cell bursts © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
15
Antibodies attached to pathogen’s membrane Membrane attack complex forming Pore Activated complement proteins attach to pathogen’s membrane in step-by-step sequence, forming a membrane attack complex (a MAC attack). MAC pores in the membrane lead to fluid flows that cause cell lysis.
16
Virus infects cell Cell secretes proteins called interferons Interferons bind to receptors on healthy cell surfaces ◦ Interfere with the ability of viruses to replicate DNA http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/0072556781/student_view0/chapter31/anim ation_quiz_2.html © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
17
Abnormally high body temperature ◦ Up to 104°-106° - depends on the individual ◦ systemic response to invasion by microorganisms Regulated by hypothalamus Inhibits reproduction of bacteria Increases speed of repair processes © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
