Ultrafiltration - the filtration of plasma and small
substances into the bowman's capsule
Reabsorption - when filtered useful products are selectively
reabsorbed into the bloodstream
Ultrafiltration Loop of Henle
The ascending limb secretes sodium and chloride
Blood entering the glomerulus has a high ions into the medulla by active transport, creating

, Immunity
Barriers to pathogen entry Antibody-mediated immunity
Skin - the skin provides a tough physical barrier • bacteria enter the body
that most pathogens cannot penetrate
• the antigen is recognised by the correct
Lysozyme - contained in tears, saliva, and sweat. It is B-lymphocyte
anti-bacterial as it is able to digest bacteria cell • the B-lymphocyte attaches to the antigen and
walls becomes sensitised
• the sensitised B-lymphocyte divides by mitosis
Mucus - can trap pathogens and prevent them to form plasma cells and memory cells
from penetrating the underlying membranes • plasma cells are short-lived but produce many
Stomach acid - Provides a low pH which denatures antibodies
the enzymes of the pathogen, killing it • memory cells remain in the body for a long time
to recognise the antigen if infected again
Non-specific immune response • the antibodies produced by plasma cells will
• Phagocyte moves towards the pathogen as it is attach to the antigens and clump them together,
attracted to the chemicals it produces forming an agglutination
• phagocyte membrane invaginates to begin to
enclose the pathogen Active vs Passive immunity
• as the pathogen is engulfed, the membrane forms (long term) (short term)
a vesicle (phagosome) around the pathogen
• lysosomes move towards the plagosome and fuse Active Passive -
with it
• hydrolytic enzymes are released by the lysosome Natural: Natural:
