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
