Summary Introduction
Introduction: The immune system of the human is divided into two types, innate immune system, and the adaptive immune system. Both the immune systems give protection against various disease-causing microbes. Different cell types and proteins are involved in immune mechanisms. The types of cells that are involved in immunity are lymphocytes (T & B lymphocytes), neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells, and macrophages. In response to pathogen recognition, these cells secrete a variety of proteins, which act against pathogens.

What is innate immunity? List the four types of barriers which protect the body from the entry of the foreign agents.
Choose which among the following is the correct sequence of the three lines of defense against pathogens?
A.barriers that exclude pathogens → adaptive immunity → innate immunity
B.barriers that exclude pathogens → innate immunity → adaptive immunity
C.adaptive immunity → barriers that exclude pathogens → innate immunity
D.innate immunity → adaptive immunity → barriers that exclude pathogens
Contrast cell – mediated immunity with antibody – mediated immunity. Make sure to note: which cells are involved, how they are involved, and the end result of each type of immunity. Why is adaptive immunity called an “antigen-specific response”?

What type of immunity do they provide?arrow_forwardAdaptive immunity includes both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, which interact but also have distinct roles in adaptive immunity. Identify the example of a strictly cell-mediated immune response. A. A cytotoxic T cell destroys an infected host cell. B. A helper T cell activates a B cell. C. A B cell gives rise to plasma cells, which release antibodies. D. An antigen is taken in by an antigen-presenting cell.arrow_forwardWhat is innate immunity?

Should this person be able to lyse bacterial cells as well as the rest of us? D. Should this person tolerate a graft (from an unreated person) better than you are me?arrow_forward
- A hypothetical disorder prevents memory cells from forming. What effect would this have on the immune system? B lymphocytes would be affected, but not T lymphocytes, Vaccinations would no longer be useful, The inflammatory response would no longer be effective, or The adaptive immune response would cease to function, but the innate immune response would continue to function normally.arrow_forwardWhat are the roles of the innate immune system?
