    Immune System

    1. B cells produce antibodies that bind to antigens, deactivating pathogens. They are part of the humoral and specific immune response. 2. T cells search for and destroy infected cells by releasing perforin, causing cells to undergo apoptosis. They are part of the specific immune response. 3. NK cells are members of the innate immune response and play a role in defending against intracellular and extracellular pathogens by killing cells. They limit the spread of pathogens and tissue damage.

    1 B CELL

    Produces special antibodies using the information of


    the antigens.They deactivate the pathogen by
    binding to the antigen. They are part of the humoral
    and specific response.

    2 T CELL
    Search and destroys infected cells by releasing a protein
    called perforin which makes holes in the cell membrane and
    causes the cell to do apoptosis(self-destruction). Part of the
    specific response.

    3 NK CELL
    The Natural Killer cells are members of the innate immune
    reponse. They are large non-phagocytic cell that play a role in
    defend againts intracellular and extracellular pathogens. All
    their function is to kill, they have no clear specification to
    follow. They limit the spread andsubsequent tissue damage.

    4 NEUTROPHIL CELL
    Neutrophil cells defend againts pathogens by
    phagocytosis. They are of rapid innate defense againts
    most bacterial and fungi pathogens before they can
    act over an infection.

    5 EOSINOPHIL
    Its functions are trapping substances, killing cells,
    movement to inflamed areas, immediate participation in
    allergic reactions and modulate inflammatory reactions.
    Some of its functions are similar to other white cells,

    6 BASOPHIL CELL
    Basophil cells don't ingest pathogens, they have another type
    of mechanism to create reactions in the body such as
    inflammation and swelling. They contain granules with
    substances that create allergic reactions that led to blood
    flow in damaged tissues.

    7 MACROPHAGE
    It is a typeof phagocyte involved in the detection and
    destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms.
    They present antigens to T cells and initiate
    innflamation to activate other cells.

    8 DENDRITIC CELL
    They are derived leukocytes from the bone marrow and are
    the most potent type of antigen-presenting cells. They
    initiate the adaptive immune responses of the body and act
    like "soldiers" of the immune system and are specialized to
    capture and process antigens.

    9 MAST CELL
    Cell filled with substances that work with allergic and
    inflammatory responses. They release histamine which
    causes blood vessels to dilate and become leakier near
    the injury, this makes it easier for white cells to reach
    the area. They are part of the non specific response
