Immune System and Response

Immune System and Response

by Peter Delves, PhD

The immune system functions as a sophisticated assembly of tissues and cells collaborating to safeguard the human body from invading pathogens. Utilizing its cellular elements, it employs diverse strategies and mechanisms to curb the dissemination of pathogens and their byproducts.

This course covers the concepts of the immune system relevant to master the MCAT exam. Students will gain insight into the immune system's organization, its approaches to handling pathogens, and the key cellular components involved in both innate and adaptive responses. To enhance understanding, a foundational knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, including gene expression, protein synthesis, signal molecules, and cellular receptors, is essential. Additionally, familiarity with the histology of blood and lymphoid tissues is recommended for optimal comprehension.

Organization of the Immune System
By Antonio M. on 17. February 2022 for Organization of the Immune System

Great communication skills, very didactic. Sometimes, when a person knows a lot, he or she do not have the ability to pass that information forward, but this professor does it really well.

 
Great job
