Understanding Inflammation
The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and proteins that work together to defend the body against harmful invaders such as viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. This course explores how the body recognizes foreign threats, triggers an immune response, and utilizes inflammation to protect and heal.
Learning Outcomes
What you'll learn
- Immune System Basics: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the immune system's network of cells and proteins that work together to protect the body a
- Pathogen Recognition: Learn how the body detects foreign pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, and how the immune response is initiated, focusing o
- Inflammatory Response Process: Understand the process of inflammation, including how immune cells (like neutrophils) respond, migrate to affected site
- Linking Immunity: Explore the crucial roles of antigen-presenting cells in linking innate and adaptive immunity, and learn how B-cells differentiate i
- Humoral Immune Response: Study how the humoral immune response uses antibodies and other effector molecules to help eliminate pathogens from the body.

Frequently asked questions
The immune system is the body’s defense network of cells, tissues, and organs that protects against infections and harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Innate immunity provides immediate, non-specific defense, while adaptive immunity develops a targeted response using T-cells, B-cells, and antibodies for long-term protection.
Inflammation increases blood flow and immune cell movement to infected or injured areas, helping eliminate pathogens and initiate tissue repair.
Antigen-presenting cells link innate and adaptive immunity by presenting pathogen fragments to T-cells, triggering a specific immune response and antibody production.
