Study Notes
Immunology Workbook
- This workbook is used alongside immunology sessions
- Students complete tasks independently
- Follow PowerPoint slides' instructions
- Use various note-taking methods, spider diagrams, pictures, tables, to create comprehensive immunology notes
- Preparation for the next session aims to consolidate knowledge
- Learning outcomes for the session: define immunology, identify the terminology, describe the body's natural defenses, identify non-specific and adaptive immune systems' components/functions, distinguish between these, and locate immune system cells
Introduction
- Workbook's purpose: support immunology sessions.
- First session focuses on introduction to immunology, self-directed learning.
- Work through each slide, complete required activities.
- Resources include documents and research articles for further knowledge.
- Employ various note-taking methods (spider diagrams/pictures/tables) for effective information organization.
- Complete notes are vital for next session learning consolidation.
- Learning outcomes: define immunology, describe natural defenses, identify components/functions of non/adaptive immunity, differentiate between non/adaptive, locate immune system cells
Antibody-Mediated vs. Cell-Mediated Immunity
- Read article up to section 10 of 14
- Duration: 15 minutes
Immune System Organs/Tissues
- Research and create own notes, spider diagram or memory map on immune system organs/tissues
- Duration: 15 minutes
- Reference provided resources for immune system organs information.
Worksheet 1: Immunology Terminology
- Notate and review new terminology as encountered
- Use provided resources to support learning, research if needed
Microbes, Antigens, Cytokines, Antibodies
- Describe microbes, antigens, cytokines, and antibodies, along with examples.
- Highlight different types of antibodies (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM) and their functions.
- Differentiate between the non-specific (innate) and adaptive (acquired) immunity.
Phagocytes, Proteins, and Immune responses
- Describe how phagocytes work and engulf pathogens.
- Explain the role of proteins, such as antibodies and cytokines, in the immune system.
- Describe the different types of immunity, innate and adaptive immunity, highlighting the characteristics of each.
- Define opsonins and their role in phagocytosis.
- Identify immune system protein types, antibodies, signaling proteins, complement proteins.
- Detail IgG and IgM responses.
Opsonins
- Define opsonins.
- Explain the role of substances in serum that promote phagocytosis of bacteria. (e.g. IgG antibody, C3b molecule).
Phagocytosis
- Define phagocytosis, describing the process by which certain cells ingest or engulf other cells or particles.
Apoptosis
- Explain apoptosis as a type of programmed cell death for unwanted or abnormal cells
Antigen-Presenting Cells
- Describe antigen-presenting cells' role in processing and presenting protein antigens in ways recognized by T-cell receptors on the cell's surface.
Complement System
- Explain the role of the complement system in the immune system response, including its function in host defense and inflammation.
Cells of the Immune System
- Describe the different types of cells (e.g., neutrophils, macrophages, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, dendritic cells) in the innate immune system and their functions.
- Describe the roles of specific cells in the adaptive immune system.
Innate vs. Adaptive Immunity
- Summarize the differences between innate and adaptive immunity in terms of specificity, time response, antigen dependence, and memory responses.
Immune System Barriers
- Describe the anatomical and physiological barriers of the innate immune system.
- Provide examples of barriers in the oral cavity, such as the skin, mucous membranes, and temperature regulation.
- Mention the role of chemical mediators for defense.
- Provide specific examples of barriers present in the oral cavity, such as low pH and enzymes.
- Discuss inflammation, including phagocytic cells' actions and cytokine release.
- Identify chemokines and histamine roles in attracting immune cells to infection sites.
