Question | Answer |
Innate Immunity | recognition of traits shared by broad ranges of pathogens, using a small set of receptors/ rapid response |
Adaptive Immunity (vertebrates only) | recognition of traits specific to particular pathogens, using a vast array of receptors/ slower resonse |
Barrier Defenses: | skin, mucous membranes, secretions |
Internal Defenses: | Phagocytic cells, Natural Killer Cells, antimicrobial proteins, inflammatory response |
Humoral Response: | Antibodies defend against infection in body fluids |
Cell-mediated Response: | cytotoxic cells defend against infection in body cells |
neutrophils | attracted by signals from infected tissues and then engulf and destroy the infecting pathogens |
macrophages | big eaters |
dendritic cells | stimulate adaptive immunity against pathogens they encounter and engulf |
natural killer cells | detect abnormal array of surface proteins characteristic of some virus-infected and cancerous cells |
eosinophils | defend against multicellular invaders, like parasitic worms |
