INTRODUCTION
Immunity is the body's defense system against infectious organisms and other invaders. It involves
a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs.
Page 4
OBJECTIVE
To study immunity and understand its types, components, and significance in human health.
Page 5
THEORY
The immune system has three lines of defense: physical barriers, innate immunity, and adaptive
immunity.
Page 6
TYPES OF IMMUNITY
Immunity is classified into innate and adaptive. Adaptive immunity further divides into active and
passive types.
Page 7
IMMUNOLOGICAL MEMORY
Adaptive immunity includes memory cells that respond faster during a second infection.
Page 8
IMMUNODEFICIENCY DISEASES
Examples include SCID and AIDS where the immune system fails to function properly.
Page 9
HYPERSENSITIVITY
Allergic reactions (Type I-IV) occur due to inappropriate immune responses to harmless substances.
Page 10
AUTOIMMUNITY
Autoimmune disorders arise when the immune system attacks self-antigens, e.g., lupus and
rheumatoid arthritis.
Page 11
TRANSPLANT IMMUNOLOGY
Organ transplant rejection occurs due to immune response to non-self antigens.
Page 12
EXPERIMENT
To observe human blood smear and identify WBCs under the microscope.
Page 13
RESULT & DISCUSSION
The blood smear showed different types of WBCs which play key roles in immunity.
Page 14
CONCLUSION
The immune system protects from disease. Vaccination helps in strengthening immunity.
