Immune System Notes

  1. implementation: innate vs adaptive
    a.) mediated (cell) vs non-mediated (humoral)
    b.) cell mediated (eg phagocytosis, interferons) vs system mediated (fever, skin, hair, mucus, acid/base, complement); inflammation is kind of both
  2. material: alive vs not alive
  3. location: surface vs internal
    a.) internal: intra-cell vs inter-cell
    b.) surface: skin vs everything else
  4. type: direct (attack) vs indirect (interference)
