  1. Body Defenses

  2. Body Defenses • The body has two defense systems for foreign materials: • Innate (nonspecific) defense system = immediately protects against a variety of invaders • Adaptive (specific) defense system = specific defense is required for each type of invader • Immunity—specific resistance to disease

  3. Immune System Figure 12.6

  4. Innate Defense System First Line of Defense = Surface membrane barriers • Skin and mucous membranes • Physical barrier to foreign materials • Also provide protective secretions • pH of the skin is acidic to inhibit bacterial growth • Sebum is toxic to bacteria • Vaginal secretions are very acidic

  5. Stomach mucosa • Secretes hydrochloric acid • Has protein-digesting enzymes • Saliva and lacrimal fluid contain lysozymes, an enzyme that destroy bacteria • Mucus traps microogranisms in digestive and respiratory pathways

  6. Innate Body Defenses Table 12.1 (1 of 2)

  7. Second Line of Defense: Cells and Chemicals • Phagocytes • Natural killer cells • Inflammatory response • Antimicrobial proteins • Fever

  8. Phagocytes • Example: macrophages • Engulf foreign material into a vacuole • Enzymes from lysosomes digest the material

  9. Microbe adheres to phagocyte (b) Figure 12.7b, step 1

  10. Microbe adheres to phagocyte Phagocyte engulfs the particle (b) Figure 12.7b, step 2a

  15. Natural killer (NK) cells • Can lyse (disintegrate or dissolve) and kill cancer cells • Can destroy virus-infected cells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNP1EAYLhOs

  16. Inflammatory response • Triggered when body tissues are injured • 4 signs of acute inflammation: • Redness, Heat, Swelling, Pain • Steps: • Injured cells releasing inflammatory chemicals = histamine and kinins • Causes blood vessels to dilate & capillaries to become leaky • Activates pain receptors 2. Phagocytosis • Neutrophils (= WBC) : • Move by diapedesis • Use chemotaxis to locate damaged tissue and/or pathogens • Clean up the tissue • Monocytes become macrophages and complete disposal of cell debris

  37. Antimicrobial proteins • Attack microorganisms and/or hinder their ability to reproduce • Complement proteins • Activated when they encounter and attach to foreign cells’ surfaces (= complement fixation) • Form membrane attack complexes (MAC) that make holes in membrane so that water rushes in and cell bursts • Release vasodilators and chemotaxis chemicals, cause opsonization (=makes foreign cell membrane sticky to make phagoctosis easier) • Interferon • Proteins secreted by virus-infected cells • Bind to healthy cell surfaces to interfere with the ability of viruses to multiply

  39. Fever • Abnormally high body temperature • Hypothalamus heat regulation can be reset by pyrogens (secreted by white blood cells) • High temperatures stop the release of iron and zinc from the liver and spleen needed by bacteria • Fever increases the speed of tissue repair
