Biological Response: Phagocytes & The Complement System, Basis of Innate Immunity The body is constantly exposed to pathogens through physical contact, ingestion, and inhalation. Whereas adaptive immunity remembers prior encounters with specific pathogens, innate immunity uses physical, chemical, and cellular defenses such as skin, gastric acid, and phagocytes to protect the body from invading organisms. Phagocytes,immune cells that surround and consume foreign particles, play a major role in this critical first line of defense.The complement system, a dynamic, highly regulated group of immune proteins,monitors blood, tissue, and cells for pathogens and debris. Once activated, a pivotal protein called C3 is converted enzymatically to peptide fragments that attract phagocytes and white blood cells. Phagocytes secrete prostaglandins and cytokines which provide additional defense through their promotion of an
inflammation response.
