Lymphatic System Immunity
Immunity - Immunity comes in various types active, passive, natural, and artificial. Passive immunity is when a breast feed infant is receiving mothers milk. Antigens are passed in the milk in which the child builds antibodies to fight off infections, bacterial or viruses.
When a child gets an inoculation just before being allowed to enter school for the very first time. This is a form of active immunity. Why to parents subject their children to this, so that the child will be able to fight off any serious diseases that could be passed on through the various ways that children interact with one another in a classroom environment. One could also argue that the child should be allowed to catch such diseases and build up a natural immunity to these diseases, yet in civilized cultures by suffer needlessly when an inoculation can prevent the illness.
There are two types of protein molecules that are critical to immune system functioning properly they are antibodies and immunogloulins. Antibodies are normally found in the body and are protein compounds. Furthermore, you can breakdown the phagocytes into three separate categories within the immune system, they are neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Each with it’s own unique reason of belonging.
Some of the phagocytic cells are like preadators, they move through the tissues of the body searching for bacteria once found they engulf the bacteria and feed on the bacteria until digested. Yet, the most numerous of cells in the lympahic system are called lymphocytes.
