|
Main phagocitic cell Resident in tissue Engulfs foreign bacteria Destroys dead red blood cells Guard armed to kill |
Macrophage |
|
|
Reside in tissue Deliver messages to lymph nodes Activated by phagocitosis and goes to nearest lymph node Brings protein fragments to t cell for it to recognize it |
Dendritic cell |
|
|
Phagocytose foreign material Mainly bacteria + activate bacterial mechanisms In blood not tissue Recruits large# to a site of inflammation Dead ones are pus |
Neutrophils |
|
|
Attach antibody coated parasites Circulate blood Recruits to parasitic infection Produced allot in allergic inflammation + |
Eosinophils |
|
|
In layers beneath surfaces of body mucosal surfaces Don't circulate blood Protects mucosal surfaces against parasites Produce histamine when stimulated Play role in allergic reaction but mainly parasites |
Mast cells |
|
|
Circulate blood to allergic reaction, Similar to Matt Matt cells but smaller quantity Steers immune response to fighting parasites |
Basophils |
|
|
B lymphocytes |
Upon activation differentiate into activity producing cells They are therefore said to be responsible for humoral immunity Adaptive immune system Specific antigens to which they bind |
|
|
T lymphocytes |
Responsible for cellular immunity Adaptive immune system |
|
|
No antigen specific receptor Can detect and kill certain abnormal cells like cancer + some virus infected cells Kill our own cells, not bacteria
|
Neutral killer (nk) cells |
|
|
Against bacteria |
Monocytes Macrophages Neutrophils |
|
|
Against viruses |
Nk cells Eosinophils Basophils |
|
|
Primary lymphoid organs |
Thymus Bone marrow |
|
|
Secondary lymphoid organs |
Lymph nodes Spleen M.A.L.T. |
