Immune System
Immune System Purposes and Functions
The main activities of the immune system include defense against dangerous chemicals in the body, such as via the skin and digestive system. The human body's immune system may be divided into two distinct functions. Adaptive and inborn. To provide total protection, innate immunity serves as the foundation. Multicellular creatures and single cells alike are safeguarded by it. It depends on a network of damaging sensors known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to recognize danger signals (Rankin, 2018).
Antigen-specific responses are sent by the adaptive immune system employing immunological memory, which allows it to expand. Both approaches have varying degrees of interdependency. The immune system's job is to develop antibodies that combat infections that the body comes into contact with. When the immune system is functioning correctly, it isn't easy to detect its existence. A person may get unwell if they cannot fight against pathogens if it fails to work typically (Rankin, 2018).
The virus that causes chickenpox in children, for example, may make a person unwell from the moment they come into contact with it. The body would be unable to fight itself against potentially dangerous compounds entering the body or against significant physiological adjustments occurring inside the body if it did not have an immune system. Viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites are among the microorganisms that the immune system is tasked with eliminating, and the body is tasked with defending itself against. To combat disease-causing microbes that alter their structure comparable to cancer cells, the immune system is responsible for identifying and neutralizing dangerous components in
the environment (Rankin, 2018)

Immune System
The Interactions of the Different Systems of the Body
An individual's overall health depends on the proper functioning of their immune system. Little police officers are constantly patrolling every organ and tissue in the human body. When it comes to transportation, the immune and circulatory systems work hand-in-hand. The lymphatic system produces
lymphocytes. There are trillions of cells in the body, including organs and blood arteries, that work together. A person's organs, cells, and blood arteries work together to keep them alive. The systems are interconnected and reliant on one another to work correctly. You can't make your body's heartbeat unless your nervous system and brain communicate with each other. The digestive system provides nutrients to the skeletal system, resulting in strong and healthy bones.
The appropriate functioning of each biological structure is compatible with a wide variety of systems. The vascular system, for example, demonstrates how different bodily parts work together. The heart uses a complex system of blood arteries to draw it from the lungs to transport blood. After that, the blood circulates throughout the body, collecting nutrients from the digestive system. Oxygen is taken up by the lungs and transported to the rest of the body via the blood. The body removes waste from cells, such as carbon dioxide, by transporting it to the lungs and kidneys. The circulatory system distributes hormones from the endocrine system and the cells of the immune system that inhibit the growth of bacteria.
To function correctly, the human systems are interdependent. The circulatory system, which relies on oxygen stored in tissues, drives the respiratory system. Muscles and hearts can't work without oxygen supplied by our lungs. Skull and spine bones, together with the brain and spinal cord, are protected by these structures regulated by brain activity. Consequently, blood flow to the brain is sufficient to maintain high blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat, which are commanded by the mind

Tutorial Six - Immune System
Tutorial 6 (Week 8) - Immune System
The immune system is an incredibly complex system which has
evolved to protect us from both extrinsic as well as intrinsic
threats. It is remarkably efficient and protects us day in and day
out from the onslaught of pathogens we regularly face. It consists
of two broad arms, the very fast to respond but predominantly
non-specific innate immune system, and the highly specific,
slower to respond but more effective when it does, adaptive
immune system. Both arms have their advantages and
disadvantages, and together they have achieved in mammals a
very efficient suite of protective mechanisms.
1. Define the terms 'antigen' and 'antibody'.
2. What is the purpose of having a lymphatics system?
3. Innate and Adaptive immunity are the two arms of the
vertebrate immune system and in humans, a suite of cells
contributes to each arm. In one sentence per cell type…

An antigen acts is a molecule that acts like a name tag, allowing
the immune system to recognize the cell it is attached to. The
name tag might say: "Hello I'm... a deadly virus," or “Hello
I'm... a healthy human cell." It is very important that an
antigen for a deadly virus and a healthy human cell are very
different, so that the immune system does not make a mistake
and attack healthy human body cells.
Which of the following molecules do you think would make
good antigens for recognizing a pathogen? Justify your
answer.
You may choose more than one.
1) a cell wall protein
2) a piece of DNA inside a cell
3) a protein that is part of a flagella
4) a uniquely shaped protein that is part of a virus
5) a protein that is only made by prokaryotic cells
6) a protein that is only made by eukaryotic cells

Body Systems
The human immune system consists of a network of cells, tissues, and organs. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart,
blood vessels, and blood. How do the immune and cardiovascular systems work together to protect the human body?
OA.
The immune cells send electrical signals through the blood to the brain.
OB.
The two systems allow for the exchange of gases between the blood and the rest of the body.
OC.
The blood acts as a medium for the transportation of immune cells throughout the body.
OD.
The two systems allow for the storage of nutrients to fuel the body at a later time.

Body Systems
Antigens are cellular parts that are able to bind to antibodies. Antigens are usually made out of proteins or polysaccharides, so they
include parts like the coats, capsules, or cell walls of pathogens (disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms).
Antibodies are proteins that are produced by the immune system to prevent the growth and spread of pathogens. Antibodies bind to
antigens, like keys fitting into specific locks.
