BONE MARROW Hematopoiesis – all immune system cells
derived from bone marrow Phagocytes:Granulocytes: first to respond by attacking
and eating invadersMacrophages: slower to respond, start as
monocytes and then turn into macrophages once leaving the bloodstream, activate the immune response
Dendritic Cells: capable of fluid filtration of body

LYMPHOCYTES Originate in the bone marrow Migrate to parts of the lymphatic systemLymph nodesSpleen Thymus
Two main types: T cells and B cells Lymph vessels transport and store lymph
![Page 13: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
T AND B CELLS T cells: Helper T – activate B cells
and killer T cells by dividing and producing certain proteins
Killer T – attack cells that have been infected with the intruder
B cells: plasma cell – produces antibodies
memory cell – prolonged life span which allows them to remember former intruders
![Page 14: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

IMMUNITY AND CANCER Injecting the patient with immune
proteins to stimulate immune response Genetic engineering – isolating genes
for cancer antigens, combining them with a virus and using this as a vaccine

ASTHMA Asthma is a chronic lung disease that
causes episodes of difficult breathing. Asthma symptoms are caused primarily
due to constriction, tightening of the muscles surrounding the airways, and inflammation, soreness, swelling and irritation of the airways in the lungs.

ALLERGIES Allergies are abnormal immune
system reactions to things that are usually harmless to most people.
When you're allergic to something, your immune system overreacts and believes that this substance is harmful to your body or it is responding to a false alarm.
Things that cause allergic reactions, such as certain foods, dust, plant pollen, or medicines, are known as allergens.
![Page 26: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ALLERGIES
![Page 27: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ALLERGIES The immune system is designed to
identify intruders within the body and get rid of them.
For an allergic person, the immune system has a hard time identifying which are the dangerous intruders, and which ones are ok.
An allergic person has a hypersensitive immune system, which singles out a harmless substance then attacks it.
![Page 28: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ALLERGY CAUSES
Everyone has antibodies, the agents of the immune system which fight various kinds of intruders.
The antibody which causes an allergic response is called IgE.
Immunoglobulin E or IgE is found in the lungs, skin and mucous membranes.
In an allergic person, the immune system's IgE can't tell the difference between threatening and non-threatening protein substances.
Interesting note – IgE levels are often higher in people with allergies
![Page 29: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ALLERGY SYMPTOMS
Respiratory allergens cause symptoms like sneezing, sniffling, wheezing, coughing, runny nose, itchy eyes, sore throats, etc.
Skin irritants can cause eczema, hives, or other reactions.
Responses to food allergens differ greatly, and in severe cases can cause a possibly fatal condition, called anaphylaxis.
![Page 30: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The first time you are exposed to a specific allergen, your body produces large amounts of IgE antibodies to work against that allergen.
Antibodies attach themselves to the cells containing histamine.
After repeated exposure to the allergen, histamine will be released in powerful amounts, causing an outbreak of allergy symptoms.
Histamine is an important chemical in the body, it can cause problems if it is released in the wrong situation.
Allergy symptoms are the body's attempt to eject a substance it identifies to be dangerous.

ALLERGY TREATMENT
Skin Testing Blood Testing Allergy Shots Medication Unfortunately…there is no cure
![Page 32: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ANAPHYLAXIS Anaphylaxis is a severe, whole-body
allergic reaction to a chemical that has become an allergen
Large amounts of histamine is released Occurs when the immune system
creates disease fighting anti-bodies (IgE) towards a substance
Life-threatening, can occur at any time
![Page 33: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
SYMPTOMS Abdominal pain Abnormal (high-pitched)
breathing sounds Anxiety Chest discomfort or
tightness Cough Diarrhea Difficulty breathing Difficulty swallowing Dizziness or light-
headedness
Hives, itchiness Nasal congestion Nausea or vomiting Palpitations Skin redness Slurred speech Swelling of the face, eyes,
or tongue Unconsciousness Wheezing
![Page 34: Julia Viola, Jane Frank, Jacquie Monteleone, and Alexa Saporito](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cad5503460f9496f795/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TREATMENT
Anaphylaxis is an emergency condition that needs professional medical attention right away
Epinephrine by injection (epi-pen) Quickly reverses anaphylactic
symptoms

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE The body’s immune system begins
attacking its own organs and structures
HIV/AIDS: a virus which causes the inactivation of T-cells
Multiple sclerosis: a disease in which the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord
