Concept explainers
Introduction:
For all living organisms, there is a challenge for surviving by defeating the entire pathogenic organism. The human body kills the pathogen or eliminates the foreign particles by an organized system called the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system or immune system which consists of a group of cells or immune cells, which inhabits all the organs of the body. The lymphatic system includes lymphatic organs and a group of lymphatic tissues that are involved in the immune system. There are two types of immunity; innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Adaptive immunity are further categorized as cellular and humoral mediated immunity.

- What is the difference between innate immunity and adaptive immunity?arrow_forwardWhat type of lymphocyte is responsible for cell-mediatedimmunity? What are the functions of cell-mediated immunity?arrow_forwardWhat type of lymphocyte is responsible for antibodymediated immunity? What are the functions of antibodymediated immunity?arrow_forward
- Dendritic cells are phagocytic, but also capable of ingesting large amounts of extracellular fluid and its contents, a process known as macropinocytosis. What specialized function do dendritic cells have in immunity that might account for their need to perform macropinocytosis?arrow_forwardImmunity can be of many types: natural activeimmunity, natural passive immunity, artificial activeimmunity and artificial passive immunity. Which of theseforms of immunity confer immune memory?arrow_forwardwhat is the importance of complements in cellular and humoral mediated immunity?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is a characteristic of humoral immunity? Â Question 9 options: Â A)Â The cells originate in the thymus. Â B)Â The cells are most effective against intracellular pathogens. Â C)Â Humoral immune cells inhibit the immune response. Â D)Â Humoral cells make antibodies.arrow_forwardDistinguish between antibody-mediated immunity and cell mediated immunity. What components are involved in each?arrow_forwardWhich lymphocyte has a role in both cell-mediated andhumoral immunity?arrow_forward
- Name four types of lymphocytes involved in cellularimmunity. Which of these is also essential to humoralimmunity?arrow_forwardHow does humoral immunity differ from cellular immunity?arrow_forwardImmunity can be acquired in an active or passive way, and it can be natural or artificial. For this discussion describe passive and active immunity and how each can be natural and artifical. What is an example of natural immunity acquired passively?arrow_forward
