The Immune System
The body must defend itself against potentially dangerous viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. It must also contend with abnormal cells and cell that may develop into cancer.

The Immune System
There are two types of defense that the body has to fight these threats. Innate Immunity – a defense that is present
from birth. Usually nonspecific responding to a broad range of microbes. Consists of external and internal barriers, phagocytic white blood cells called macrophages.
Acquired Immunity – also called adaptive immunity. Developes only after exposure to microbes, abnormal body cells, and toxins. Highly specific. White blood cells called lymphocytes are involved as well as proteins called antibodies.

External Defenses:
These are the first line of defense from diseases

Skin
is impenetrable to viruses or bacteria.
Tiny cuts may allow penetration of pathogens. QuickTime™ and a

Mucous membranes
line the respiratory, digestive and genitouterary tracts block entry of pathogens. Cells of these membranes produce mucus which traps microbes.
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Ex: The trachea has ciliated epithelial cells that sweep mucus and any trapped debris upward away from the lungs.

Secretions
Saliva, tears - wash away surfaces of epithelial cells.
Sebaceous (Oil) glands and sweat glands - give the skin a pH ranging from 3 -5 which is acidic enough to prevent the colonization of some microbes
Lysozyme – an enzyme contained in secretions from the skin that digests the cell walls of many bacteria (peptidoglycan)
Gastric Juices – acidic pH kills pathogens before they reach the intestines.
Exception: Hepatitis A virus can survive gastric acidity

Internal Defenses – 2nd Line
microbes that get past the external defenses must then contend with the internal mechanisms of innate defense.

Phagocytic Cells
phagocytosis is the ingestion of invading microorganisms by a certain type of wbc called phagocytes.

Attach to their prey by way of surface receptors that bind to structures found on many microbes but not on regular body cells. An example of this structure is polysaccharides found on the surface of bacteria.
Engulfs the microbe(s) then forms a vacuole. Vacuole fuses with a lysosome Nitric oxide and other toxins poison the
microbes Enzymes breakdown the molecules that make
up the microbe

4 Types of White Blood Cells (leukocytes) that are phagocytic:
Neutrophils Enter infected tissue and engulf microbes
about 70% of wbc’s. Self destruct in a few days

Macrophages“the big eater” large phagocytes that engulf microbes and dead tissue cells. Live longer than neutrophils

Eosinophils Attack large parasites with enzymes (blood fluke)
Dendritic Cells Ingest microbes like macrophages and

Antimicrobial proteins – proteins that become activated and secreted when there is an infection.
Examples include lactoferrin binds iron which is necessary for bacteria to grow and defensins which kill fungi

Complement System - a group of proteins that lead to the lyses (bursting) of invading microbes. Substances on the surface of microbes
activate the complement system.

Inflammatory Response
Damage to tissue by physical injury or entry of pthogens leads to the release of chemical signals that trigger a response.
Histamine - a chemical stored in mast cells found in connective tissues. Histamine dilates capillaries and increases their permeability

Chemokines are small proteins that guide phagocytes to the site of injury
Macrophages release chemicals like prostoglandins that promote blood flow to the site of injury
Result is inflammation, redness, swelling.

Natural Killer Cells
NK cells patrol the body and attack viral infected cells and cancer cells
Once attached to an infected cell, it releases chemicals that cause the cell to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death)
NK cells are not 100% effective. QuickTime™ and a
