2nd line: the inflammatory response
3rd line: lymphocyte production
most important immune defense - .......🔷ANSWERS🔶......✔✔ intact skin and mucous membranes
(impermeable barrier)
PAMP - .......🔷ANSWERS🔶......✔✔ pathogen associated molecular pattern
surfaces of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes are covered with many foreign proteins
foreign
DAMP - .......🔷ANSWERS🔶......✔✔ damage associated molecular pattern
many proteins are released from inside our cells when they are damaged
foreign
PRR - .......🔷ANSWERS🔶......✔✔ pattern recognition receptors
,surfaces of WBCs contain these receptor sites
-continuously interact with any material they encounter to ID it as "self" or "non-self" (foreign;
PAMP or DAMP)

stimulus

-the antibody binds to soluble antigen outside the cell surface and the complex is deposited in the
tissues
