Innate Immunity: Cells
- White Blood Cells
- move into infected tissues and destroy infections.
- Chemotaxis
- chemotactic factors is part of the
microorganism that releases a signal
which attracts WBCs
- Phagocytosis
- endocytosis by neutrophils
and macrophages
- Neutrophils
- phagocytic and
first cells to enter
- Regularly cross wall of
GI tract, providing
protection.
- Macrophages
- large phagocytic cells
- Monocytes: leave blood
and enter tissues.
- clean blood and lymph
- Basophils and Mast cells
- promote inflammation when
activated by innate or
adaptive system
- Basophils are motile
and can enter tissues
- Mast cells: non-motile and are in CT
- Eosinophils
- leave blood and enter tissues
- reduce inflammation: breakdown
chemicals produced by basophils
and mast cells
- secrete enzymes killing parasites
- Natural Killer Cells
- type of lymphocyte
- lyse tumor and virus-infected cells
- recognize a variety of cell types
