Immunity (Part 1)

Wow!!! Cant imagine that i started to read Bio text book during these holidays... Well, just for a few lines only, hehe. Serious gal, it scares me a lot when I tried to recap all those subjects that I've learnt before. Do we share the same boat?? Man, I really need to reactivate my synaptic cells again+hippocampus again, huhu...

Okayh, here it goes; something about immunity to be shared with all of you...

Pathogens : a group which is nooot good to animals and humans. Pathogens might harm you; causing disease etc. Eg of pathogens: bacteria, virus, protist and fungi.

P/s: 'Dearest' Patho, u guys need to encounter few obstacles (which is good to human race, hohoho). Those are:-

  1. skin
  2. macrophages (good immunity cells) Receptor proteins (that help to detect foreign cells, which is you, Patho!!!

From bio's perspective, above statement can be summarized using two biological term:-

  • acquired immunity
