Explain the distribution of lymphatic system immune responses and give an example of non-specific (innate) immunity activation.

The lymphatic system immune responses are distributed throughout the body, associated with mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract. An example of non-specific (innate) immunity activation is the group of serum proteins known as complement, which is activated by bacteria and antigen-antibody complexes.

Describe the characteristics of specific (adaptive) immunity and list the cells involved in it.

Specific (adaptive) immunity is characterized by diversity, memory, and self-recognition. The cells involved in specific (adaptive) immunity are T cells (cell-mediated immunity), B cells (humoral immunity), and antigen-presenting cells (APC). Signup and view all the answers

What are the three types of lymphatic tissues based on encapsulation? Provide an example for each type.

The three types of lymphatic tissues based on encapsulation are encapsulated organ (e.g., thymus, lymph node, spleen), partially encapsulated (e.g., tonsil), and non-encapsulated (e.g., mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue). Signup and view all the answers

List the cells involved in non-specific (innate) immunity and their functions.

The cells involved in non-specific (innate) immunity are macrophages and neutrophils (phagocytic cells) and NK cells (kill tumor cells, viral infected cells, and parasites). Signup and view all the answers
