Immune System Q and A

The first line of Innate Immune defense

Neto Demoing the effect that mucous has on pathogen entry




After watching the Neto’s Demo on the immune system I now can answer the following questions.
  • What is the point of the immune system
    • keep out pathogens( virus, bacteria paricites fungi)
    • your defense system
  • What is the difference between the first line of defense
    • keep things out
      • skin mucus oil acidic environments like stomach 
  • What is non-specific immunity mean?
    • an immunity that responds to generally everything that seems bad
    • does dot know what it is dealing with just attacks
  • inflammatory reponse= bringing stuff to the fight
  • phagocytes: cells that can eat up pathogens  use sensors to detect and eliminate invadersby enveloping it becomes phagosome
  • major histocompatibility complex II (MHC II)? 
    • a protein that takes broken up peptide chains from the broken up pathogen in the phagosome that then takes it to the outside membrane  so it can help reconize
  • What is an antigen?
    • a protine/ pep chain that can be delt with in the specific imune system
