The immune system is generally split into two branches the innate and adaptive immune systems. The innate side, which responds quickly to tissue injury and infection, is made up of proteins found in the blood and cells. These cells are nuetrophils, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. Recent work has also shown that other cells types not normally thought of as being "immune cells" such as epithelial cells have important immune functions.
The cells of the adaptive immune response are those that respond to infections much later and are responsible for protection from repeated infections. These include T cells and B cells. These cells will be turned on by the innate immune system, then divide and attack whatever they are specific for.
What else can I help you with?
What white blood cell types are involved in the second line of defence?
The immune system's third line of defense is called specific resistance or acquired immunity. The system depends on antigens which are mostly proteins which function as a producer of the immune response.
What life function is the immune system responsible for?
Simply put, fighting infection, or cell abnormality
What body system does the immune cell belong to?
It belongs to the immune system.
What are the Function of glycoprotein?
Glycoproteins are proteins that are released in the blood. Glycoproteins have an important role in the immune system and cell recognition in mammals.
Which is an epidermal cell with an immunological function?
Langerhans cells are epidermal cells that play a key role in the immune response by capturing and presenting antigens to immune cells. They are part of the skin's immune system and help in defending against pathogens.
What type of cell do HIV attack in the immune system?
HIV attacks Acquired Immune system.
How does the body protect itself from infections?
Using its Immune system which consists of many parts and cell types aimed at fighting infections.
Which type of cell are made by the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system produces and houses lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for immune responses in the body. There are two main types of lymphocytes: T cells and B cells. T cells function in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells produce antibodies to fight infections.
What protects your body from infectious diseases?
You have the immune system to protect you from the infectious diseases. You have two types of immunity. Cell mediated and humeral type.
Does the thymus has roles in the digestive and lymphatic systems?
The thymus is primarily involved in the immune system, specifically in the maturation of T cells. It is not directly involved in the digestive system, but it does contribute to the overall function of the lymphatic system by supporting T cell development and immune responses.
Which cell functions as a part of the immune system?
An epidermal dendritic cell.
Which cell activate the immune system?
T cells
