Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Form & FunctionImmune System AP Biology

  2. Nonspecific Defenses • Do not discriminate • Present at birth • Prevent approach of pathogens

  3. Nonspecific Defenses • Physical barriers • Skin • Creates effective barrier • Multiple layers • Keratin • Desmosomes

  4. Nonspecific Defenses • Physical barriers • Secretions • Oil, sweat, mucus • Wash away pathogens • Lysozyme kills bacteria

  5. Nonspecific Defenses • Phagocytes • Neutrophils • Phagocytize cellular debris & invading bacteria

  6. Nonspecific Defenses • Phagocytes • Eosinophils • Target foreign compounds or pathogens coated with antibodies

  7. Nonspecific Defenses • Phagocytes • Macrophage • Derived from monocytes • Large

  8. Nonspecific Defenses • Phagocytes • NK cells • Natural killer cells • Large lymphocytes • Destroy abnormal cells • Constantly monitor normal tissues

  9. Nonspecific Defenses • Inflammatory response • Histamine released by basophils • Blood vessels dilate • Increased blood flow to damaged area • Phagocytes mobilized • Complement activated • 20 proteins • React in chain reaction • Attacks & breaks down cell walls

  10. Specific Defenses • Target specific antigen • Involves lymphocytes • Remembers antigens encountered in the past • Ignores self and attacks nonself

  11. Specific Defenses • Cell-Mediated Immunity • Provides defense against abnormal cells & pathogens inside living cells • Involves T cells (green cell)

  12. Specific Defenses • Cell-Mediated Immunity • Antigen engulfed by macrophage • Antigen broken down • Macrophage presents pieces of antigen on cell membrane • Specific T cell binds to antigen pieces • Specific T cell activated

  13. Specific Defenses • Cell-Mediated Immunity • Activated T cell divides & differentiates • Helper T cells – stimulate immune response • Cytotoxic T cells – killer T cells • Memory T cells – remember encountered antigens; activated with 2nd exposure • Supressor T cells – slows things down

  14. Specific Defenses • Antibody-Mediated Immunity (Humoral Response) • Provides defense against antigens & pathogens in body fluids • Involves B cells

  15. Specific Defenses • Antibody-Mediated Immunity

  16. Specific Defenses • Antibody-Mediated Immunity • Specific B cell activated • Activated B cell divides & differentiates • Plasma cells • Produce antibodies • Memory B cells • Remember encountered antigens • Activated with 2nd exposure

  17. Specific Defenses • Antibody-Mediated Immunity • Specific B cell activated • Activated B cell divides & differentiates • Plasma cells • Produce antibodies • Memory B cells • Remember encountered antigens • Activated with 2nd exposure

  18. Specific Defenses • Primary Immune Response • Period I • B cell activated • Activated B cell divides & differentiates • Plasma cells produce antibodies

  19. Specific Defenses • Secondary Immune Response • Period II • Memory B cell activated • Faster response • Strongerresponse • Less lag timeafter exposure
