When we get sick with a illness our body gets antibodies to a specific illness It makes it much stronger
kinds of innate immunity
-physical barriers: skin or mucous surrounding cavity
-chemical mediator; cytokines chem that provokes phagocytosis
-complement protein
cells that fight: monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils
inflammation, pain, heat, swelling, redness
redness= realize of histamine and the extra blood will bring more gas nutrients and antibiotic activity
pain= reminder be more careful
heat: inhibit growth of bacteria evelopment
B lymphocytes
adaptive immunity cell type
responsible for humoral immunity

produced in bone marrow
responsible for cellular mediator immunity
types
cytotoxic t cells: kill only bad cells they are specifically made for
bilepen t cells: recreate lymphokines
sypressor t cells: supress immune response when threat is over
