Immune Cells
antibodies |
antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes in response to an antigen. Memory cells previously produced increas in population to fight off infection. Found in the blood. Can neutralize or destroy antigens in different ways such as by coating or lysing the antigen. They can stimuate phagocytosis and prevent the antigen from adhering to host cells.
|
|
Immune cells
Fibrinogen |
a fibrinogen is a globulin found in blood plasma. it helps in coagulating blood.
|
|
immune cells
granulocytes |
granulocytes are mature leukocyte cells that contain granules. including neutrophils and other types of immune response cells. granulocytes fight off infection
|
|
immune cells
Leukocytes |
Leukocytes are white blood cells formed in bone marrow, including graulocytes and nongranulocytes. Leukocytes fight off infection and tissue damage. they destroy foreign organisms and also clean up damaged cells by phagocytosis.
|
|
immune cells
lymphocytes |
lymphocytes are white blood cells formed in the spleen and bone morrow. They adhere to endothelial cells: intensify inflammation by causing direct cell injury and promoting formation of antibodies that increase the inflammatory process
|
|
Immune cells
Monocytes |
Monocytes are a large type of leukocytes that eventually become macrophages. Macrophages are one of the first line of defenses in the inflammatory process.
|
|
immune cells
neutrophils |
neutrophils are mature white blood cells in the granulocytic series, comprise more than 50% of the leukocytes present in the body. they adhere to damaged site to protect agains infection by destroying infectious microbes; also destroy antigens
|
|
immune cell
macrophage |
a macrophage is a large cell called a phagocyte that secrete cytokines. macrophages injest dead tissue, bacterial cells or dying cells.
