Scientific Concepts and Discoveries

Three Lines of Defense in the Immune System
- First Line of Defense: Physical and chemical barriers to prevent pathogen entry.
  - Skin: Acts as a barrier with dead cells and keratin.
  - Sweat: Contains salts that kill microbes.
  - Earwax: Protects the ear canal.
  - Tears: Contain antimicrobial substances.
  - Saliva: Contains enzymes that break down microbes.
  - Mucus: Traps pathogens in the respiratory system.
  - Stomach Acid: Kills pathogens ingested with food.
- Second Line of Defense: Non-specific immune response (Inflammation).
  - Mechanism: Triggered when the first line fails, involves:
    - Tissue damage leads to Inflammation.
    - Histamine release increases blood flow and permeability, allowing immune cells to reach the site of infection.
    - Phagocytic cells (like macrophages and neutrophils) engulf and destroy pathogens.
- Third Line of Defense: Specific immune response (Acquired Immunity).
  - Mechanism: Involves lymphocytes (B cells and T cells).
    - B Cells: Produce antibodies specific to pathogens.
    - T Cells: Help in destroying infected cells and coordinating the immune response.
    - Memory Cells: Provide long-term immunity by remembering past infections.
Types of Immunity
- Innate Immunity: Non-specific, immediate response (first and second lines).
- Acquired Immunity: Specific response developed after exposure to pathogens (third line).
- Passive Immunity: Temporary immunity gained through antibodies from another source (e.g., maternal antibodies).
- Active Immunity: Long-lasting immunity developed through exposure to pathogens or Vaccination.
Vaccination vs. Serum
- Vaccination: Introduces a harmless part of a pathogen to stimulate an immune response and memory.
- Serum: Contains ready-made antibodies for immediate protection but does not stimulate the Immune System to produce its own antibodies.

Methodology

Mechanisms of Action:
- Phagocytosis: Immune cells engulf and digest pathogens.
- Inflammation: Response to tissue damage that helps isolate and eliminate pathogens.
- Antibody Production: B cells produce antibodies that neutralize pathogens.
