THE IMMUNE SYSTEM By: Caleb Patrick IMMUNE SYSTEM • My organ system is the Immune System. • The job of the immune system is to fight off diseases. • Also it helps get rid of infections and inflammation in the skin • It also controls internal activities in order to prevent damage it other parts of the body. • The Immune system has some adaptive traits that allow it to isolate certain pathogens and help your body become immune to them • The Immune System is an amazing system and has the ability to cells that are uniquely yours. • Any other cells that come into the body that aren't yours are attacked and immediately terminated. IMMUNE SYSTEM PARTS • Antibodies- cells of the immune system that recognize foreign organisms that invade the body • Epidermis- Dead cells that cover the body aka skin and provide a 2 nd layer of dividing cells • Cilia- Tiny hair like fibers that protrude from a cell. Commonly found in the respiratory system these tiny hairs constantly move in order to break up and move mucus and debris • Thymus- An organ in the lower part of the neck that produces cells to fight infection • White Blood Cells- The white blood cell count rises in cases of infection and other conditions in order to fend off the unwanted bacteria. A low white blood cell count can increase the risk of infection or disease related illnesses • Mucus- A thick gel substance that moistens and protects organs • Saliva- A watery mixture of chemicals that moistens the oral wall LINE OF DEFENSE IMMUNE SYSTEM • The first line of defense is the skin, Mucous membranes, hairs and cilia, gastric juice and urine, tears, sweat and saliva, and Cerumen • The skin provides an impenetrable barrier against pathogens • The mucous membrane traps foreign particles and directs them out of the body • Hairs and cilia trap dust and dirt • Gastric juice and urine are acidic substances that have a protective function • Tears, sweat and saliva are body fluids with antibiotic properties • Cerumen is produced in the ear canal and traps dust and dirt LINE OF DEFENSE IMMUNE SYSTEM • The second line of defense are Leucocytes are white blood cells that attack the pathogen that invades the body before it can harm the body. • The third line of defense is the specific immune response. • The specific immune response recognizes your unique cells and sends out antibodies against and cells that are not your own. VACCINATIONS • Vaccinations expose people safely to germs so that there immune system can get better equipped to fight off the infection. • During the flu outbreaks, shingles occur, or pneumococcal disease is seen doctors give patients vaccinations so that there body can adapt to it without getting the disease itself TEAMWORK • The Immune System is great with teamwork • The cilia that lines the respiratory system help keep dirt and mucus out of the air ways • The digestive juices help dissolve and destroy any foreign bacteria in the digestive system • And finally the Immune System works mainly with the circulatory system because the circulatory system transports the immune cells to other parts of the body FUN FACTS • Stress hormones weaken the immune system • Antibacterial products can hinder the immune system • Positive events have helpful impact on immune system • Allergies, for example, are a mistake by the body’s immune system BIBLIOGRAPHY • "10 Things You (Likely) Don’t Know About Your Immune System | Mark's Daily Apple."
