Introduction to Immunology

Immunity

  • Passive Immunity- Immunity that is obtained from a outside source. Example: Antibiotic, Clostrum
  • Active Immunity- Immunity that is obtained from the immune system actively defending the body. Example: Vaccines, Immunity after having a disease

The Breakdown of the Immune System

  • A first line nonspecific line of defense: barriers
  • A second nonspecific line of defense: Inflammatory response/general attack.
  • Lastly a third specific line of defense (i.e. targeted) defense, comprising:

Basics and Terms

  • Pathogen- is any agent (bacterium, virus, etc) that can cause us trouble
  • Nonspecific Defenses are the body's first line against disease. They are not directed against a particular pathogen. They guard against al infections, regardless of their cause.
  • Specific defenses are attempts by the body to defend itself against particular pathogens.
  • Since Pathogens must enter the body in order to cause disease, the body's first line of defense is to keep pathogens out. So, what organ is used for this?

Basics continued

  • The Body's MOST IMPORTANT Nonspecific Defense is the SKIN. UNBROKEN Skin provides a continuous layer that protects almost the whole body. Very Few Pathogens can penetrate the layers of dead cells at the skin's surface.
  • Oil and sweat glands at the surface of the skin produce a salty an acidic environment that kills many bacteria and other microorganisms.
  • The importance of the Skin as a Barrier against Infections becomes obvious when a small portion of skin is broken or scraped off: Infection almost always follows.
  • Infections are a result of the penetration of the broken skin by microorganisms normally present on the unbroken skin.
  • Pathogens also enter the body through the Mouth and Nose, but the body has Nonspecific Defenses that protect those openings.
