A. Immune System default:
innate immunity is the potential contained in the body of its own. This immunity existed since human beings are born. Innate immunity includes the protection afforded by the skin and mucous membranes, among others, the following:
1. Surface protection
• Skin peeling always periodically and produce acidic oil that can kill germs. Intact skin is an outer defense to prevent the entry of germs into the body. In normal human skin is always there Stophyloccis pyogenes bacteria. During peeling skin by cuts or abrasions then these bacteria will not cause illness.
• tear glands secrete lysozyme can destroy the germs that stick to the eye.
• The acidity of the vagina and urinary will inhibit the growth of certain germs.
• Gastric produce stomach acid (HCl) to kill the germs that enter the food.
• peristaltic movement of the intestine pushing existing germs in the gut immediately come out with feces.
• Motion propagation of vibration, mucus in the respiratory tract and cough reflex can prevent the entry of germs from dust into the lungs.
2. Immunity in the body:
In defense of the skin and mucous membranes already described in the description above, the bacteria will die and did not make it into the body. However, if in this case the bacteria still can pass through the skin and the mucous membranes of the body has a defense the other, the immunity of the body known as nonspecific defense. The defense made by white blood cells (leukocytes) that will kill all kinds of microbes that enter the body. Leukocyte phagocytosis properties, namely eating germs that enter the body. Leukocytes whose role is PMN cells (plymorpho nuclear), monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes.
B. Immune System adaftif:
adaptive immunity also called specific immunity because immunity is able to recognize and remember specific pathogens. This is done by the defense and antitoxin antibodies that can withstand the attack of germs, both micro cells and toxins produced by these germs. Working power of this highly specific antibodies, such as antibodies to withstand Mycobacterium tuberculosis can not withstand the attacks of Bacillus anthracis. Tetanus antitoxin may also be used to prevent diphtheria attacks. Specific defenses in everyday life called immune (immunity).
