- Oh it was amazing! I have to tell you all about it!
- Hey Karen.
- how was your field trip to the science centre??
- Hey Drew!
- It was amazing! We learned a lot about our bodies first line of defence, the immune system.
- Okay, Drew let me give you an analogy. Think about a prisoner breaking out of prison.
- I always hear about the immune system but I don't really know anything about it.
- In my analogy, the prisoner is the pathogen. Both trying to break through something
- A pathogen is something that is trying to enter your body and infect your cells.
- So if pathogens are the prisoners trying to break out, what are the guards?
- The guards would be the bodies macrophage. Their job is to locate foreign bodies and "eat them".
- in my analogy, an antigen would be a police officer noticing a prisoner has escaped. Therefore beggining a response
- An antigen is a foreign body that induces the immune system response
- Skin is a waterproof barrier that blocks out pathogens. So in my analogy the skin would be like the jail cell, keeping a prisoner from escaping.
- When it comes to the first line of defense, the skin plays a very large role.
- Another first line of defense is mucous. They trap the pathogen from entering in your nose and in the blood stream
- In a prison break, the mucous would be the alarm, trying to stop the prisoner from causing any harm
- Just like when the guards catch the prisoner, they are able to prevent the prisoner from doing anymore harm
- The final line of defense are Lysosomes(tears and saliva). They prevent any more damage from the pathogen
- Killer T-cells kill any cell containing the pathogen, so they are like a SWAT team being called to capture the prisoner
- The Helper T-Cells activate the killer T-cells and the B-cells.
- While B-cells secrete antibiotics which are like the weapons vault giving weapons(antibiotics)
- The memory B-cells job is to remember the certain pathogen and if that pathogen comes again they are able to stop is faster
- Finally we have memory B-cells
- So a memory B-cell would be like a wanted poster so everyone knows the certain prisoner and it would make capturing it more faster
- Wow looks like that field trip taught you a thing or two!
- Well come to think about it...Yeah I did learn alot!!
- Well, that's just your immune systems first response. Well I got to go, have to teach the immune system to a classmate
- Oh jeez, i think im starting to get the sniffles
- Oh it was amazing! I have to tell you all about it!
- Who knew my body fighting pathogens can make me feel so gross
