Introduction to Immunology
  1. Immune system
    1. Not a specific organ or tissue
      1. Include various cells, tissue and organs
        1. Working collectively
          1. Defend against harmful pathogens, cells and subtances
        2. Cell of the immune system
          1. Leukocytes
            1. Have nuclei
              1. Involves in phagocytosis, inflammation,adaptive immune response
              2. Platelets
                1. Do not have nuclei
                  1. Involved in inflammation and blood clotting
              3. Lines of denfence
                1. First line
                  1. External physical barriers
                    1. e.g: skin
                  2. Second line
                    1. Internal physiology barriers
                      1. e.g: inflammation
                        1. create hostile environment for the invaders
                          1. 4 components
