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