Immune System-What is it?
Function:
Defense against infectious diseases, viruses, and invaders
Keeps people healthy
Uses your leukocytes which are the white blood cells in your body that fight off sickness.
Signs of an unhealthy person
Developing a fever which includes an abnormally high body temperature usually along with vomiting, shivering, and head ache.

Spleen
Largest lymphatic organ
Cleanses your body of toxins
Breaks down red blood cells that no longer work properly
Sends the breakdown of red blood cells to the liver
Uses white blood cells to fight infection
![Page 7: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Adenoids
A patch of tissue located in the back of the nasal cavity
Traps harmful bacteria and viruses that are swallowed or inhaled.
Often shrink and are nearly invisible by
the time you are a teenager

Tonsils
A cluster of lymphatic cells
Located in the pharynx
Trap bacteria or other toxins
Stop them from entering the throat
![Page 9: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Appendix
A pouch of lymphatic tissue
Attached to the large intestine
It does not appear to serve any purpose in the human body
Scientists believe it may be a remain of an ancient digestive tract
Releases mucus into the intestine
![Page 11: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lymph Nodes
Produce cells that fight disease and infection
Storage for disease fighting cells
Humans have 600 to 700 lymph nodes
![Page 12: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lymphatic Vessels
A vascular duct that carries lymph
LYMPH is a fluid that circulates through the lymph system and eventually mixes with blood
Also carries white blood cells
Located all throughout the body
![Page 13: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Immune Responses
Immune Responses are the bodies way of protecting itself from becoming sick. Immune Response is
activated by B-Cells and followed out by T-Cells.
Macrophages are also a large part of the immune system. They are mobile white blood cells that bind to sites of infection.
![Page 14: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is a Lymphocyte?
A Lymphocyte is a form of a small white blood cell with a single round nucleus found in the lymphatic system.
They are found inside bone marrow. This is the soft fatty substance in the cavities of the bones.
Lymphocytes then either stay located in the bone marrow or mature into B-Cells or leave to become T-Cells.
![Page 15: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
B-Cells-Immune Response
B-cells are a lymphocyte NOT produced by the Thymus Gland. They are responsible detecting antigens in the body and create an Antibody to combine chemically to counteract the antigen.
Antigens are the foreign substances that can enter the body and make your immune system respond.
B-Cells lock their sights on this Antigen and send T-Cells to attack the foreign invader.
![Page 16: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
T-Cells-Immune Response
Thymus Gland is an organ situated in the neck of the vertebrates that produce T-cells.
T-Cells are a type of lymphocyte that are expected to attack the foreign invader after the B-Cells recognizes it. Helper T-Cells are the cells
that help B-Cells activate antibodies to attack the antigen.
Killer T-Cells are those that specifically kill the viruses and sometimes bacteria.
![Page 17: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Killer T-Cells
Killer T-Cells have the ability to protect us from many different pathogens. A pathogen can be a bacterium, a virus, or any other microorganism that can cause disease.
Killer T-Cells are even strong enough to kill cancer cells.

Skin: Main Defense Against Disease
Your skin is your main and most important defense against parasites, bacteria, and other microorganisms.
The epidermis of the skin (Outer most layer), is the barrier which these pathogens have to try to penetrate.
If the epidermis is broken which a cut our scratch, bacteria and other pathogens may enter very easily.
The dermis (inner most layer of the skin) protects from pathogens.
It has sebaceous glands that create sebum which is an oily substance that allows your skin to have moisture and prevent it from drying out and cracking.
Cracked skin is another easy way pathogens may enter the body.
Interesting Fact: Each Human has at least 8 pounds of skin on their body making it their biggest organ.
![Page 20: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Skin: Main Defense Against Disease Cont.
Langerhans cells are cells that sense that invaders have entered the skin and proceed to send white blood cells to fight the infection.
The skin may become red and swollen due to this reaction.
Normal Flora are helpful bacteria on the outside of the skin that prevent harmful bacteria from growing.
![Page 21: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Vaccination and Immunity
What is a Vaccine? A substance that stimulates the production of antibodies to
provide immunity for a disease.
It is a synthetic substitute of the disease and it is treated as an antigen in the body.
Antibiotics are medicines that inhibits the further growth of microorganisms.
Example: Penicillin
Immunology is the branch of medicine and biology that is responsible for immunity.
![Page 22: The Immune/ Lymphatic System SAMANTHA CLARK AND MACKENZIE BROUSE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf9a1a28abf838c92197/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Medicine vs. Nature
Vaccines and other medicines help keep our body healthy and prevent disease. Another drug that keeps us healthy
would be an Antihistamine. This is a drug that inhibits the physiological effects of a histamine in the body.
Used in the treatment of allergies
Interferon is a natural protein already found in the body that will inhibit the replication of viruses that enter the body.
We have many defenses to keep our body healthy and safe.

Immune Disorders and Diseases
Autoimmune Disorder is a disorder that makes the antibodies produced in the body actually damage the body instead of helping it.
Disorders: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immune-system-disorders
Crohn’s Disease
Inflammatory Response is very common with Crohn’s and many other diseases. It is when a reaction to an injury or antigen that may cause swelling, pain and possibly loss of function.
Viteligo
Causes the skin to have a lack of pigment in certain areas.
