pH=3-5
Mucus Membranes
Phagocytic cells
Migrate OUT of the blood when the sense differences
in concentration of certain chemicals engulf
bacteria, dead cells, etc….
Recognize surface
molecules on
abnormal cells
(cancerous or virus
infected)

Tissue injury; release of
chemical signals such as
histamine
link
2
Dilation and increased
leakiness of local blood
vessels; migration of
phagocytes to the area

Phagocytes
(macrophages and
neutrophils) consume
bacteria and cell
debris; tissue heals

Lymphatic system
-includes vessels (with valves)
-fluid (lymph)
-organs
Important cells are T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes
These cells are
involved in
specific
immunity
“immune
response”
Acquired Immunity (the immune response)
Is highly specific
•Produces antibodies in response to specific
antigens
•Antigens may be molecules on
Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, worms, transplanted
organs
•Both B and T lymphocytes have receptors on
membrane that recognize different antigens

Final maturation
of B and T cells in
lymphatic organ
B cells
-mature in bone
- produce antibodies
-antibodies float through the blood,
recognizing and attaching to antigens
T cells
-mature in thymus
-do not produce antibodies
-”killer cells”
Both B cells and T cells can produce memory cells

T cells are selected
B cells are selected
-antibody producing plasma
cells are produced
Person feels ill while these cells are produced
Symptoms diminish as these cells do their job
Response is much faster
Memory cells are activated
-tend to have a stronger response
than the primary

Sensitization: Initial exposure to allergen
Allergen (pollen grain) 2 B cells make
enters bloodstream
antibodies

Allergies
Hypersensitivity to
environmental
antigen (allergen)
Antibodies attach to

degranulation
Histamine & other
Inflammatory agents
released
Active immunity
results from natural recovery from infections
vaccinations
Passive immunity
Receive antibodies from someone else
-IgG anitibodies cross placenta
-breast milk
-shots (rabies treatment)
Transfusions/transplants
ABO blood group
-IgM
doesn’t cross placenta
Antibodies produced against bacterial antigens
which are very similar
rH factor
-IgG  crosses placenta
Tissue graphs/ organ transplants
Give drugs that suppress cell mediated immunity
Bone marrow transplants
Risk of graft vs host reaction
Donor lymphocytes attack host cells
Anaphylactic shock
Acute reaction to allergen
Massive dilation of blood vessels
-drop in blood pressure
Counteracted by epinephrine
Autoimmune diseases
Immune system doesn’t recognize “self” and attacks
MS
Insulin dependent diabetes
HIV infection of cells require CD4
-found on T cells
Is a retrovirus
Antibodies are ineffective because
-provirus gives it “invisibility”
-rapid rate of mutation
-Helper T cells decrease
-secondary infections
Drug treatments slow viral replication
-AZT (reverse transcriptase inhibitors)
-protease inhibitors
