type of cell that has the ability to ingest, and sometimes digest, foreign particles, such as bacteria, carbon, dust, or dye
Phagocyte
which present the Antigen to T cells
Macrophages
which participates in antigen recognition and in regulation functions of T cells
Helper T cells
which can inactive pathogens
Natural Killer Cells

Cytotoxic T cells
help keep the cardiovascular sustem functional by maintaining blood volume

3 parts of lymphatic system
Lymphatic Vessels
Lymph

Is the external body membranes, intact skin and mucosae
First line of defense
called into action whenever the first time has been penetrated, uses antimicrobial proteins, phagocytes, and other cells to inhibit the invader’s spread throughout the body.
Second line of defense
The hallmark of the second line of defense
Inflammation
Group of plasma proteins that lyses microorganisms, enhances phagocytosis by opsonization, and intensifies inflammatory responses
Complement
proteins released by virus infected cells that protect uninfected tissue cells from viral takeover, mobilize immune system
Interferons
Nirmally acid pH inhibits bacterial growth; urine cleanses the lower urinary tract as it flushes from the body
Fluids with acid pH
Systemic response triggered by pyrogens; high body temperature inhibits multiplication of bacteria.
