    Study Notes

    Introduction to Immunology

    • Immunology is the study of immunity and the immune system.
    • Immunity refers to the body's defense against infections and diseases.
    • The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body.

    Types of Immunity

    • Non-specific (innate) immunity: the body's first line of defense against infections, providing immediate protection.
    • Specific immunity (adaptive): the body's second line of defense, providing long-term protection through the activation of immune cells.

    Active and Passive Immunity

    • Active immunity: the body produces its own antibodies in response to an antigen, providing long-term protection.
    • Passive immunity: the body receives antibodies from an outside source, providing temporary protection.

    Immune Response

    • Humoral immune response: involves the production of antibodies to fight pathogens in bodily fluids.
    • Cellular immune response: involves the activation of immune cells to fight pathogens within cells.

    Key Terms

    • Antigen: a foreign substance that triggers an immune response.
    • Immune response: the body's reaction to the presence of an antigen.
