Immunology - An Introduction
Basic immunology, immune responses, clinical foundations, disease defence author: Care Learning
Immunology offers a comprehensive overview of the body’s intricate defence network. Starting with key concepts, immune organs, and the main cell types, the course explores both innate and adaptive immunity—highlighting how they work together to protect us from infection. Modules cover phagocytes, types of immune responses, the functions of B and T lymphocytes, antigen-presenting cells, and the distinction between humoral and cell-mediated responses.
Learners will examine MHC complexes, helper and cytotoxic T cells, inflammatory pathways, and the complex coordination needed to mount effective immune responses. The course uses clear analogies, diagrams, and practical examples to make complex concepts approachable, building a solid platform for further study in clinical sciences, nursing, or research. All content aligns with current immunology curricula and is designed for use in healthcare and life sciences education.
