Functions of the immune response a. b. c. d. Immune effector functions, such as the complement system of blood proteins, antibodies, and the destructive capacity of wbc and lymphocytes. Immune regulation = the ability of the immune system to self-regulate. Immunological memory = protect against recurring disease due to the same pathogen. The first cells that respond are phagocytic wbcs, such as macrophages, that form part of the innate system. (by toxic chemicals and degradative enzymes also) Highly specialized antigen receptors on the lymphocyte surface. Both innate and adaptive immune responses depend upon the activities of wbc, which originate in the bone marrow. Pluripotent hemaropoietic stem cell in bone marrow gives rise to all the cellular element of blood. The myeloid lineage comprises most of the cells of the innate immune system. Precisely, the common myeloid progenitor is the precursor of the macrophages, granulocytes and dendritic cells. Dispose of pathogens and infected cells, reduce inflammation and clear debris.
