MICROBIO Chapter 14
1. first line of defense: barrier that prevents microbes from entering
- skin
- hair follicles
- sweat glands
- nasal hairs
- mucus
- cilia
- urination
- vagina secretion
- resident microbiota
2. immunology: study of the second and third line of defense
3. healthy immune system: - surveillance of body
- recognize foreign material
- destruction of foreign material
4. white blood cells: - move around the body
- trained to recognize themselves, body cells, and non body cells

, 5. systems involved in immune function: - mononuclear phagocyte systems
- space surrounding tissue cells that contain ECF
- bloodstream
- Lymphatic system
6. mononuclear phagocyte systems: - support network of connective tissue fibers
- reticular system that originates in basal lamina
- interconnects cells nearby
- meshes with massive connective tissue networks surrounding all organs
- GALT, MALT
7. bloodstream: - whole blood cells composed of blood cells in plasma and serum
- hematopoiesis : production of erythrocytes (red blood cells); platelets help with blood clotting
- stem cells : precursor to blood cells
