Document Summary

182: pathogens: the bacteria, viruses, protozoans, fungi,, parasitic worms, and prions (infectious proteins) that cause disease. 182: chemical and physical surface barriers: keep the foreign organisms or molecules out of the body in the first place. Internal cellular and chemical defenses: attack any foreign organism or molecule or cancer cell inside the body. First line of defense: physical and chemical barriers: pg. Second line of defense: defensive cells and proteins, inflammation, and fever: pg. Natural killer (nk) cells interferons complement system vasodilation and increased capillary permeability, leading to redness, heat, swelling, and pain abnormally high body temperature.

Macrophage detects foreign cell or molecule and engulfs it. Macrophage puts antigen from the pathogen on its surface and finds the helper t cell with correct receptors for that antigen. Macrophage presents antigen to the helper t cell. Helper t cell activates both lines of defense to fight that specific antigen.
