    Study Notes

    Immunity: Your Body's Defense System

    • Immunity is your body's natural defense system
    • It protects against harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses
    • It helps fight infections and maintain health

    The Role of White Blood Cells

    • White blood cells (leukocytes) are the soldiers of the immune system
    • They patrol the body to identify invaders
    • Different types of white blood cells have specific roles

    Types of White Blood Cells and Their Roles

    • Neutrophils: First responders, engulf and destroy bacteria and fungi
    • Lymphocytes: Involved in specific immunity
      • B lymphocytes: Produce antibodies that mark invaders for destruction
      • T lymphocytes: Directly attack infected cells and regulate the immune response

    How Immunity Works

    • When a foreign invader enters the body, the immune system recognizes it as a threat
    • It triggers a series of responses to eliminate the invader
      • Inflammation: Localizes infection, attracts immune cells
      • Antibody Production: Neutralizes invaders
      • Cellular Immunity: T cells attack infected cells
