When you are infected with a pathogen for the first time, your immune system has not been previously exposed to it and needs time to recognize and develop a specific response to fight off the invader. This initial lag in immune response allows the pathogen to replicate and cause symptoms of illness before the immune system can mount an effective defense.
The immune system reacts to substances as threats to the body health. When the allergens are inhaled the first response of the immune system is to attack and attempt to stop the particles from harming the body.
A primary response is the initial reaction of the immune system to an antigen or pathogen it encounters for the first time. It involves the activation and rapid proliferation of specific immune cells, such as T and B cells, to eliminate the foreign invader. This response helps establish immunological memory for future encounters with the same antigen.
The difference between the first and second line of defence is that the first line of defence is your physical barrier like your skin and it protects you from most pathogens entering your body and the sweat and oil on your skin prevent some pathogens from growing on your body. the second line of defence is when a pathogen makes it past the first line of defence your body can mount an immune response to the attack and destroy the invader. Whether or not the response succeeds depends very much on your body's ability to distinguish between cells that belong to it and cells that do not.
Yes tonsil is a part of immune system. It is a first line of defence.
When a pathogen enters the body, it first encounters the body's physical and chemical barriers, primarily the skin and mucous membranes. These barriers provide a first line of defense by preventing the pathogen from entering deeper tissues. If the pathogen breaches these surfaces, it then encounters immune cells and proteins in the innate immune system, which act quickly to identify and combat the invader.
First exposure: 1. Sensitizing dose - elicits no symptoms 2. Memory B cells are produced 3.Small amount of IgE antibodies are produced 4. Mast cells and basophils activated. This the first step. Then: Second exposure: 1. Allergens bind to memory B cells 2. B cells produce large amounts of IgE antibodies (high titer) 3. IgE bind to mast and basophil cells 4.Release chemical mediatorsThe antibodies attach to the antigens (invader) and inactivate them (killing).
