define immunology
|
study of protection from foreign macromolecules or invading organisms and our responses to them
|
|
list 2 benefits of the immune system
|
protection from invaders
elimination of altered self |
|
list 2 detriments of the immune system
|
discomfort (inflammation)
damage to self (autoimmunity) |
|
list the 3 ways that animals defend themselves against microbial invasions
|
1) physical barriers (skin)
2) innate immunity (inflammation, defensins, macrohpages, lysozyme, neutrophils) 3) specific immunity ( antibody production- B cells, cell mediated immunity-T cells) |
|
list the humoral and cellular components of innate immunity
|
humoral
complement interferon TNF cellular macrophages neutrophils |
