Study Notes
Introduction to Immunology
- Tutor: Ms P Lazarou
- Module: Biomedical Sciences
- Course: Dental Therapy/Dental hygiene
- Learning Aims: To apply biomedical principles, behavioural and materials sciences to dental therapy and hygiene
-
Learning Outcomes
- Define immunology and associated terminology
- Describe natural body defense systems
- Identify components & functions of innate & adaptive immune systems
- Differentiate between innate & adaptive immunity
- List immune system cells (innate and adaptive)
Student Learning Guidelines
- Self-directed learning: Sessions are designed for independent completion of tasks
- PowerPoint slides: Each slide should be carefully reviewed, and instructions followed
- Supplemental resources: Links to documents and research articles are provided to enhance learning
- Note-taking methods: Encourage the use of various note-taking methods (spider diagrams, images, tables) to create personal Immunology notes.
- Preparation for next session: Complete and review notes before the following session to consolidate knowledge.
GDC Learning Outcomes
- Subject aims to apply biomedical, behavioral, and material sciences fundamentals to dental therapy and hygiene practices
- Development of immunology knowledge is a core component
Intended Learning Outcomes (Session)
- Defining immunology: Understanding the field and appropriate terminology
- Natural defense systems: Describing the body's natural defenses
- Immune System (components & functions): Non-specific (Innate) and Specific(Adaptive or Acquired)
- Differentiating immune types: Distinguishing between innate and adaptive immunity
- Immune cells: Identifying innate and adaptive immune cell types.
Assessment
- Formative: Complete an "Introduction to Immunology Workbook".
- Summative: Biomedical Sciences Assessment
Student Learning Task 1
- Article: Read an article titled "An introduction to immunology and immunopathology" (10 of 14 sections)
- Source: From Moodle, by Jean S. Marshall, Richard Warrington, Wade Watson, and Harold L. Kim (2018) on biomedcentral.com
- Time allocation: 15 minutes
Student Learning Task 2
- Task: Research and create notes/diagrams/maps on organs and tissues of the immune system
- Resources: Online articles such as "What are the organs of the immune system?", "Components of the Immune System", and "Bitesize Immunology"
- Time allocation: 15 minutes
Student Learning Task 3
- Task: Notate and review immunology terminology to complete Worksheet 1
- Material: Complete Worksheet 1 of the Immunology Workbook.
- Time allocation: 20 minutes
- Repeat: Continue adding terms
Student Learning Task 4
- Task: Review and describe cell functions in the innate and adaptive immune systems
- Material: Complete Worksheet 2 in the Immunology Workbook.
- Time allocation: 15 minutes
Student Learning Task 5
- Task: Outline the differences between innate and adaptive immune systems
- Note-taking: Fill in a table in the workbook for these differences
- Method: Drag and drop answers
- Time allocation: 10 minutes
Student Learning Task 6
- Task: Describe the barriers of the innate immune system, give mechanisms for example
- Focus: Mechanisms in the oral cavity
- Material: Complete Worksheet 3 of the Immunology Workbook
- Time allocation: 15 minutes
Immunity in the Oral Cavity
- Tissue stress: Soft and hard oral tissues subjected to constant stress from foreign matter and external forces
-
Oral diseases:
- Dental caries
- Periodontitis
- Significance: links between chronic inflammation and oral diseases, such as the activation of immune cells by plaque bacteria also affecting arteries, and contributing to both periodontal disease and diabetes.
Why Immunity in the Oral Cavity Matters
- Chronic inflammation relation: Immune system responses linked to both periodontal disease and diabetes.
- Systemic markers of inflammation: Elevated systemic inflammation markers in diabetes (Type 1 and 2), affecting microvascular and macrovascular areas
- Hyperglycaemia: This can increase inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death
Immunity and Diseases
- Systemic disease links: Diseases like Oral candidiasis, Sjögren's syndrome, and Pemphigus vulgaris, related to systemic diseases, that affect the oral cavity.
- Immunological Assessment: These topics will be further assessed in Session 3
References/Resources
- Article: "An introduction to immunology and immunopathology" by Richard Warrington et. al. (2011)
- Other resources: Various websites including: ResearchGate, InformedHealth.org (NCBI Bookshelf), Healio.com, British Society for Immunology, and immunology.org.
