Phagocytes, such as neutrophils and macrophages, are leukocytes that respond to nonspecific foreign invaders. They engulf and destroy pathogens through phagocytosis, helping to protect the body from infections.

How does the body respond to injury?

Regeneration is the nonspecific response of the body to injury.


What are all of the organs in the immune system?

The major organs in the immune system include the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes, tonsils, and Peyer's patches in the intestines. These organs work together to detect and respond to foreign invaders in the body.


When IL-2 is secreted by antigen-specific T cells activated due to presentation of antigen by APCs What happens to naive antigen-nonspecific T cells in the vicinity?

Naive antigen-nonspecific T cells do not become activated since they lack the T cell receptor specificity for the particular antigen being presented. They do not respond to IL-2 secreted by the activated antigen-specific T cells and remain in a resting state until they encounter an antigen to which they are specific.


Why is phagocytosis non specific?

Phagocytosis is nonspecific because it does not rely on specific recognition of pathogens. Instead, phagocytes engulf and destroy a wide range of particles and microorganisms through the process of endocytosis. This allows the immune system to respond quickly to a variety of threats without needing to recognize each one individually.


How does the bodys immune system respond to a bacterial infection?

When a bacterial infection occurs, the body's immune system responds by recognizing the bacteria as foreign invaders. The immune system then produces white blood cells to attack and destroy the bacteria. This process can also involve inflammation to help contain and eliminate the infection.

What does it mean to have nonspecific innate immunity?

The cells of the innate system recognize and respond to the pathogens in a specific generic way.


What cells are part of both the circulatory system and the immune system?

WHITE BLOOD CELLS AND PLATELETS. White blood cells, or leukocytes, and platelets, or thrombocytes, are one of several components in blood. Platelets help the blood to clot at the site of an open wound. This functions to help in the body's first line of defense against forgein invaders. Leukocytes, for the most part, fight foreign invaders through phagocytosis - literally, eating cells. This could be bacteria, parasites, viruses, and protozoa. This is part of what's called "non-specific immunity." Secondarily, some of these leukocytes also respond to allergens, cancerous cells, and injured tissues in the body. Lymphocytes, one type of leukocyte, are a part of what's called "specific immunity." These cells respond to specific invaders, or antigens, by either creating antibodies to neutralize them or by initiating a general immune response (fever, inflammation, production of more lymphocytes). B-lymphocytes in particular will "remember" a specific antigen once that antigen is introduced. If the body encounters that antigen again, antibodies againsts that specific antigen will already exist to fight it off. This is the logic behind vaccination.


What is the difference between humoral and cell-mediated immunity?

how they respond to and dispose of invaders.


What is the difference between granular and non-granular leukocytes?

The difference is that granular leukocytes have granules in their cytoplasm while non-granular do not. Also granular leukocytes, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils respond to non-specific immunity and their main job is to digest pathogens. The non-granular leukocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes and they are part of the specific immune response of the body. The are called non-granular because their cytoplasm is clear and does not contain granules that show up with the addition of stain or dyes.


What makes wbc respond to injury?

White blood cells (WBCs) respond to injury as part of the body's immune response mechanism. When injury or infection occurs, the body signals WBCs to the site of injury to help fight off any foreign invaders, such as bacteria or viruses. This response involves the release of signaling molecules that attract WBCs to the affected area to initiate the healing process.

What is the role of MHC?

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules play a crucial role in the immune system by presenting antigens to T cells. This helps T cells identify and respond to foreign invaders such as viruses or bacteria. MHC molecules are essential for adaptive immune responses and play a key role in determining compatibility for organ transplants.


The immune system respond to agent cell or substances that are foreign or nonself collectively called?

antibodies


Can antibodies be used up?

Antibodies are continuous being produced by activated B cells in your body as a response to your constant exposure to invaders. Antibodies are proteins and synthesized like proteins. Therefore, antibodies will be produced until you die. However, antibodies against a certain type of invaders may disappear when the invaders are eliminated. The ability of the body to respond to the same invaders when they come again lies in the preservation of the B cells that produced these antibodies, not the actual antibodies themselves.


How do B lymphocytes respond to foreign protein?

B lymphocytes, or B cells would produce antibodies.
