The immune system is the body system that fight off infection andpathogens. The immune system relies on physical barrier to keeppathogens out.
Your skin is you bodys first line of defense. The skin physicallyblocks invading pathogens.Many pathogens cannot survive in thiskind of environment.
Just at castles walls have doors and windows, your skin also hasopening. For example,youreyes,nose,ears,mouth,and excretoryorgans are open to the environment , and so they need extra
protection. Once pathogens are inside , the immune system relies on the
circulatorysystemtosend chemicalsignalstocoordinate anattackand to transport specialized cell to the infection.

Thesix main types of white blood cells and their
roles in fighting infection are summarized in
1. Basophil - make chemicals that cause inflammation in the
bloodstream.
2. Mast cell - make chemicals that cause inflammation in the
body tissues.
3.Neutrophil - engulfs damaged body cells and foreign invaders ;
phagocyte.
4. Macrophage - engulfs damaged body cells and somebacteria ;
phagocyte.
5. Lymphocyte - destroy infected body cells or produces proteinthat inactivate pathogens.
6. Eosinophil - injects poisonous packets into parasites , such
as protozoa.

Proteins
1. Complement proteins are made by white blood cells and by certain
organs. Some complement proteins weaken a pathogen s cell
membrane , allowing water to enter the cell and cause it to burst.
2. Antibodies are proteins made by B-cells. Antibodies help the clump,
making them easier to engulf and destroy.
3. Interferons are proteins produced by body cells that are infected by
a virus. If viruses cannot enter healthy cells,they cannot reproduce.
Other interferons stimulate an inflammation reponse.

Immunity prevents a person from getting sick
from a pathogen
If you are immune to a pathogen , it mean that you will not get sick
when that pathogen invades your body.
There are two types of immunity - passive and active.
Passive Immunity is immunity that occurs without the body s
undergoing an immune response. Passive immunity is transferredbetween mother and child.
However, some virusesonly made members of a specific species
sick. Geneticimmunity is immunity that a species has because
a pathogen is not specialized to harming that species.
Active immunity is immunity that your body produces in responsetoa specific pathogen that has infected or is sick by a particular
pathogen more than once.
Sometimes people get the same colds or flus overand over again
thought out their lifetime. Each time a different strain of virus
invades,yourimmune systemhastostartfromthebeginningagain.

Cells of the system produce
specific responses
Antigens are protein markers on the
surfaces of cells and viruses that help the
immune system identify a foreign cell orvirus.
Memory cells are specialized T and B cells
that provide acquired immunity because
they remember an antigen that has
previously invaded your body.

Many body system work to produce
nonspecific responses
The body responds to pathogens and foreign particles with specific andnonspecific responses. Some example of nonspecific defenses are
inflammation and fever.
Inflammation is a nonspecific response that is characterized by
swelling , redness , pain , itching , and increased warmth at the affected
site.
An inflammation response begin when mast cells or basophils release
chemicals called histamines in response to a pathogen invasion.
Histamines cause the cell in blood vessel walls to spread out.
When the infection is controlled and the mast cell s chemicals are no
longer being made , the body temperature returns to normal.
Fever is response that affect the entire body. Low fever , around 37.7 C
( 100 F ) , stimulant the production of interferons.
While low fevers speed up pathogen destruction , high fever more than
39.C , or 103.F are dangerous. High fever can cause seizure , brain
damage , and even death.

Cellular immunity is an immune response
that depends on T cells. 1) A phagocyte recognizes a foreign invader and engulfs it.Once inside the phagocyte , the invader s antigens are removed ,
and engulfs are removed , and the phagocyte displays them on
its cell membrane.2) A T cell encounters the antigen presenting cell and binds to it.
3) When a T cell is activated , it begin to diving and differentiate into
two different types of T cells : activated and memory.

The immune system rejectsforeign tissues
All cells have protein markers on their surfaces. Your body mustconstantly decide whether your healthy cells are , in fact , your ownor foreign cells.
Tissue rejection occurs when the recipients immune system makesantibodies against the protein markers on the donors tissue.
Antigen receptors on the surface of your white blood cells determinewhether your immune system will attack or ignore a transplantedtissue.
People have thousands of different combinations of protein markers ontheir cells.
Other times , the immune system loses the ability to recognize thebodys healthy cells.

The human immune system
The mammalian immune system is a fantastic, and fantastically-complex, system. There are a number of cells specialised for particularjobs in recognising and defending against foreign materials that mightenter the body (e.g. bacteria or viruses). Some of these cells also playroles in other procedures such as wound-healing. There are differences
in the immune systems of different species - humans, primates, etc. -and since we're interested in HIV, we'll just look at the human immunesystem for now.
The following image shows a summary of the important cells andmolecules in the human immune system - the top half of the picturerepresents detection of invaders, and the bottom half represents the
defence which is triggered by that detection.
