📖 1. Immune System Components

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Lymphoid Organs: Specialized tissues where immune cells develop and mature.

    • Primary lymphoid organs: Bone marrow (site of B cell maturation) and thymus (T cell maturation).
    • Secondary lymphoid organs: Lymph nodes, spleen, and mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), where immune responses are initiated.
  • Lymphocytes: White blood cells central to adaptive immunity, including T cells (cell-mediated immunity), B cells (antibody production), and natural killer (NK) cells (innate-like cytotoxicity).

  • Phagocytes: Cells that engulf and digest pathogens and debris; key types include macrophages and neutrophils.

  • Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs): Cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages that process antigens and present them to T cells via MHC molecules, initiating adaptive responses.

  • Hematopoiesis: The process of blood cell formation in the bone marrow, producing all immune cell lineages.

  • Immune Surveillance: The immune system's continuous monitoring for abnormal cells or pathogens to maintain health and prevent disease.
