What is the immune system?
• The body’s defense against disease causing organisms, malfunctioning cells, and foreign particles

The First Line of Defense:External~Skin~
• Human skin forms are almost impenetrable barrier against bacteria.

- As you breathe in, foreign particles bump into mucus throughout your respiratory system and become stuck
- Hair-like structures sweep this mucus into the throat for coughing or swallowing
The First Line of Defense: External~Mucus and Cilia~

- Swallowed bacteria are broken down by incredibly strong acids in the stomach that break down your food
The First Line of Defense: External~Stomach Acid~

The Second Line of Defense~The Lymphatic System~
- If invaders actually get within the body, a complex system of organs works to rid the body of attack.
- Made up of specialized cells called white blood cells.

• These are a special type of white blood cells that are responsible for eating foreign particles by engulfing them
White Blood Cells~Phagocytes~
Lysosomes

- Most infections never make it past the first and second levels of defense
- Those that do trigger the production and release of antibodies
- Specialized Proteins that latch onto, and damage foreign particles
- Each antibody binds only to one specific binding site, known as an antigen
The Third Line of Defense~Antibodies~

What is immunity?
- Resistance to a disease causing organism or harmful substance
- Two types- Active Immunity- Passive Immunity

Active Immunity
- You produce the antibodies- May be acquired naturally when a person
suffers and then recovers from the disease or- From a vaccine

How long does active immunity last?
• It depends on the antigen• Some disease-causing
bacteria multiply into new forms that our body doesn’t recognize, requiring annual vaccinations, like the flu shot
• Others last for a lifetime, such as chicken pox

Think the flu is no big deal?
- Think again…- In 1918, a particularly
deadly strain of flu, called the Spanish Influenza, spread across the globe
- It infected 20% of the human population and killed 5%, which came out to be about 100 million people

Passive Immunity
• You don’t produce the antibodies
• From breastmilk
