LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Immunology - Innate Immunity Lecture PowerPoint Show:
- Describe microbial antagonism. Regarding this concept, how do normal flora benefit a person?
- Understand the first line of immune defense against pathogens - physical and chemical components
- What is the role of mucus in protecting from infection?
- Understand how leukocytes, nonspecific chemical defenses, inflammation and fever contribute to our second line of defense against pathogens.
- Describe the three types of formed elements.
- List the different types of leukocytes and their functions.
- Understand which leukocytes are involved in the second line of defense.
- Know the three types of cells that kill extra-cellularly.
- Be able to list and describe the nonspecific chemical defenses of the second line of immune defense.
- Understand the steps of the inflammatory response.
- What is the relationship between gram negative bacteria and fever?
LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Innate Immunity PPT:
- Student's Innate Immunity PowerPoint Show
- Student's Innate Immunity PowerPoint PDF Printout
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet". Under Pages Per Sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
