Mind map your way to immune system mastery. Learn how to visualize the immune system's functions, types, and responses, and improve your understanding of human biology.
Here is a detailed comprehensive mind map of the physiology topic "Immunity":
Central Idea: Immunity
Main Branches:
- Types of Immunity
- Immune System Components
- Immune Response
- Immune System Functions
- Immune System Disorders
Sub-Branches:
Types of Immunity:
- Innate Immunity
- First line of defense against infection
- Non-specific defense mechanisms
- Adaptive Immunity
- Specific immune response to antigens
- Involves activation of T cells and B cells
- Passive Immunity
- Temporary immunity through transfer of antibodies
- Examples: maternal antibodies, immunoglobulin therapy
- Active Immunity
- Long-term immunity through activation of immune cells
- Examples: vaccination, infection
Immune System Components:
- Lymphoid Organs
- Bone marrow
- Thymus
- Spleen
- Lymph nodes
- Immune Cells
- T cells (CD4+, CD8+)
- B cells
- Natural killer cells (NK cells)
- Dendritic cells
- Macrophages
- Cytokines
- Interleukins (ILs)
- Interferons (IFNs)
- Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
Immune Response:
- Recognition
- Antigen presentation
- Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
- Activation
- T cell activation
- B cell activation
- Cytokine production
- Elimination
- Phagocytosis
- Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
- Complement system
Immune System Functions:
- Defense against Infection
- Recognition and elimination of pathogens
- Tissue Repair
- Inflammation and tissue repair
- Cancer Surveillance
- Immune surveillance and tumor rejection
- Autoimmune Regulation
- Regulation of immune response to self-antigens
Immune System Disorders:
- Immunodeficiency Disorders
- Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs)
- Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Rheumatoid arthritis
