Summary
The human body has several lines of defense against infections. Students learn about the roles of surface barriers and lymph nodes in immunity.
Surface barriers
The skin and mucous membranes form the body's first line of defense. They prevent microorganisms from entering the body.
Innate and adaptive immunity
Innate immunity is the body's immediate, non-specific response to infection. Adaptive immunity is specific to each pathogen and involves memory cells.
Inflammation
Inflammation is part of the innate immune response. It involves vascular responses like vasoconstriction and vasodilation.
Phagocytes and opsonization
Phagocytes are white blood cells that ingest and destroy pathogens. Opsonization makes it easier for phagocytes to ingest bacteria.
Key terms
- Innate immunity
- The body's immediate, non-specific response to infection.

- Opsonization
- The process of making pathogens easier to ingest by phagocytes.
- Lymphocytes
