Evolution of the Bodys Defenses

Immunity organism capacity to resist and combat


infection. Began before multicelled eukaryotes
evolved.
Pathogen - Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)
1,000 different noncell cases. Occur in pathogens.
Pattern receptors and responses innate immunity.
Innate Immunity fast, general defenses against
infection.
Vertebrates interacting cells, tissues, and proteins.

Three Lines of Defenses

Physical, chemical and mechanical barriers keep the


pathogens outside of the body.
Innate Immunity after tissue is damaged or antigen
is detected inside the body.
Activation of Innate Immunity/Adaptive Immunity
leukocytes or white blood cells divide to form huge
populations that target specific antigen and destroy.

The Defenders

White Blood Cells carry out all immune responses.


Nectrophil, Monocyte, Basophil, Lympocyte,
Eosinophil.
Cytokines secretory muscle, destructive enzyme,
local signaling molecules.
Eosinophilia parasites too big for phagocytes.
Basophils and Mast Cells release molecules
contained by their granules in response to injury or
antigen.
Lympocytes special category of WBC, central to
adaptive immunity.
