Introduction to the Immune System and the Inflammatory Response
It explained the differences between natural and active acquired immunity as well as active and passive immunity.
Practice this chapterIt explained the differences between natural and active acquired immunity as well as active and passive immunity. The last section focused on understanding inflammation, its pathophysiology, and the five cardinal signs of inflammation.
immune system — a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against infections, diseases, and foreign substances. inflammatory response — the coordinated reaction of the immune system to injury, infection, or harmful stimuli, involving a series of cellular and biochemical processes aimed at eliminating the threat…. passive immunity — the temporary protection against a specific pathogen that is conferred to an individual by receiving pre-formed antibodies rather than producing them internally. biosimilar drugs — medications that are highly similar to an already approved biologic drug, known as the reference product.
Worked example
What does “immune system” mean in Introduction to the Immune System and the Inflammatory Response?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for immune system.
- 2The book says: a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against infections, diseases, and foreign substances.
- 3Do not use the meaning of inflammatory response. That term means the coordinated reaction of the immune system to injury, infection, or harmful stimuli, involving a series of cellular and biochemical processes aimed at eliminating the threat….
Result: a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against infections, diseases, and foreign substances
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for immune system.
Do not swap immune system and inflammatory response. immune system means a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against infections, diseases, and foreign substances. inflammatory response means the coordinated reaction of the immune system to injury, infection, or harmful stimuli, involving a series of cellular and biochemical processes aimed at eliminating the threat….
