Document Summary

Main defenses in adaptive immunity: b-cell (lymphocyte) immunity, antibodies, *important against extracellular pathogens, t-cell (lymphocyte) immunity, helper t cells (th cells; cd4+ t cells, cytotoxic t cells (ctl; cd8+ t cells, *important against intracellular pathogens. Adaptive since immune response is more efficient with re-exposure to the same pathogen. Immunological memory is the basis for vaccination: natural exposure creates memory cells in order to have faster response to that pathogen, note innate immunity never stops and will work along side adaptive immunity. Lymphatic system in green: where the artery/vein meets = capillaries high pressure flow into smaller veins means that plasma in the blood filters into tissue interstitial fluid, then lymphatic vessels lymph, then through lymph nodes. Lymph: removes waste products from tissues (dead cells, co2, pathogens) Intradermal vaccine e. g. flu shot injects pathogen that is carried to the lymph node via lymph.
