11.1: Immune System Concept Map
- Specific Immune System (Acquired/Adaptive)
- Interleukin Message
- Captures a Bacteria
- Alerts. . .
- Lymphocytes!
- B-Lymphocytes
- (Made in Bone Marrow)
- Memory B-Cells
- Watch everything that goes down and remembers. Exists
for a long time so that they can be cloned in case the
foreign invader returns.
- Plasma Cells
- Army of Clones equipped with antibody machine
guns that zap everything (eventually die and break
down after victory)
- T-Lymphocytes
- (Made in Thymus Gland)
- Natural Killers
- Also called Cytotoxic T-Cells
- By injecting poison, kills cells that have changed their MHC Marker due to
changes in DNA (like cancerous cells) and cells that have become ill and dropped
their MHC Markers.
- Helper T-Cells
- Communicators
- Help identify the captured invaders and also send Interleukin Messages
- Also alerts
- Memory T-Cells
- Hang around for future reference after the battle, just like helper B-Cells
- Nonspecific Immune System (Innate)
- Phagocytes
- Neutrophils
- Small, dies quickly (white pus in a wound
= corpses)
- Macrophage
- Large, takes longer to die (can be
linked to a general area or a specific
tissue)
- Sends a...
- Skin (Epidermis) Blocks Stuff
- MHC Marker (Cell's ID Card)
- If foreign, a Macrophage will eat the
bacteria/cell it's connected to and display it for
a Lymphocyte to ID and kill.
