THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Perhaps the most incredible system in the
human body is the immune system. It has the task of
keeping the body healthy by fighting pathogens,
disease-producing microorganisms, or neutralizing
their toxins. The immune system employs the abilities
of the skin, the mucous membranes, hair, cilia, saliva,
urine, and other natural means of waste disposal in
its function of keeping the body free of pathogens.
Should bacteria enter the body, the immune system
employs cells in the body to fight invading bacteria
and to prevent its spread.
Lymphocytes are white blood cells that carry
out the body's immune responses. There are two major
groups of lymphocytes, T-cells and B-cells, and both
develop in stem cells of bone marrow. B-cells complete
their development in the marrow, while T-cells migrate
to the thymus, where they complete their development
in a few days. The mature T-cells develop
immunocompetence, which is defined as the ability
to carry out immune response if properly stimulated.
BASIC IMMUNOLOGY
The immune system reacts to invasion by
foreign matter in several ways. One method is for the
T-cells to directly attack the foreign matter. This is
usually an attack directed at intracellular pathogens,
viruses and tissue transplants.1 Another mode of attack
involves the B-cells. In this scenario, they are
transformed into plasma cells, which manufacture and
deploy antibodies. Antibodies bind together and
inactivate extracellular pathogens, such as bacteria and
antigens dissolved into the body’s fluids.2
By circulating both B and T cells throughout
the body, intruders and other abnormal cells are
destroyed or neutralized and thereby eliminated from
the body.3
These lymphocyte cells are the basis of the
body's two closely allied immune responses, both
triggered by antigens.4
Cell-mediated immune
responses involve the T-cells, while antibody-mediated
immune responses involve the B-cells.5
To some extent, each type of immune response specializes indealing with certain invaders.6
Often, however, a
pathogen, like bacteria, can evoke both types of
immune responses.7
Macrophages also play a major role in acquired
cell-mediated immunity. These phagocytic cells are
activated and mobilized by T-cells to the site of
infection where they kill invading microorganisms.8
Macrophages can also function in processing and
presenting antigens to lymphocytes to neutralize.9
