Innate Immunity Lecture Materials
These
are the Immunology: Innate Immunity Lecture materials of the Virtual Microbiology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college microbiology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
The Innate Immunity Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- a PowerPoint lecture
- "class note" articles
- practice test questions
- review questions
- links to additional educational resources
INNATE IMMUNITY LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Immunology: Innate Immunity Lecture PowerPoint:
- Describe microbial antagonism. Regarding this concept, how do normal flora benefit a person?
- Understand the first line of immune defense against pathogens; its physical components and chemical components
- What is the role of mucus in helping protect us from infection?
- Understand how leukocytes, nonspecific chemical defenses, inflammation and fever contribute to our second line of defense against pathogens.
- Describe the three types of formed elements.
- List the different types of leukocytes and their functions.
- Understand which leukocytes are involved in the second line of defense.
- Know the three types of cells that kill extra-cellularly.
- Be able to list and describe the nonspecific chemical defenses of the second line of immune defense.
- Understand the steps of the inflammatory response.
- What is the relationship between gram negative bacteria and fever?
INNATE IMMUNITY LECTURE POWERPOINT
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Microbiology Classroom have fill-in-the-blanks on many of the slides to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.
HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.
