    Study Notes

    Immune System Cells

    • B cells are responsible for producing antibodies.

    Adaptive Immune System Characteristics

    • The adaptive immune system is specific to particular pathogens.

    Dendritic Cell Function

    • The primary function of a dendritic cell is to present antigens to T cells.

    T Cell Types

    • Gamma delta T cells are a type of T cell.
    • Helper T cells, Cytotoxic T cells and Regulatory T cells are other types of T cells.
    • Memory T cells are not a separate type of T cell, but rather a subset of T cells.

    Natural Killer (NK) Cell Function

    • The primary function of Natural Killer (NK) cells is to recognize and eliminate infected cells or tumor cells.

    Innate Immune System Characteristics

    • The innate immune system is non-specific to particular pathogens.
    • It is the first line of defense against infection.
    • It includes physical barriers, such as the skin and mucous membranes, and cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages.
