What is the function of phagocytes?
Phagocyte, type of cell that has the ability to ingest, and sometimes digest, foreign particles, such as bacteria, carbon, dust, or dye. It engulfs foreign bodies by extending its cytoplasm into pseudopods (cytoplasmic extensions like feet), surrounding the foreign particle and forming a vacuole.
What are the different types of phagocytes?
The main types of phagocytes are monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, tissue dendritic cells, and mast cells. Other cells, such as epithelial cells and fibroblasts, may also engage in phagocytosis, but lack receptors to detect opsonized pathogens and are not primarily immune system cells.
Why is it important to make sure that your immunizations are current?
Because proof of immunization is often required for enrollment in school or day care, it’s important to keep your children up to date on their vaccines. They will be protected from diseases that spread easily among children in group settings and that could cause them serious health problems.
How long do immunization records last?
How long is my child’s immunization record kept and available? Immunization records in CAIR are retained for life, so vaccination history can be made available for college admission, trips abroad, military service, and for other purposes.
How a vaccine can make you immune to a particular infectious disease?
A vaccine stimulates the natural immune response, creating antibodies and a memory of the infection without the danger of an actual infection. The memory helps protect us if we are ever exposed to the pathogen in the future.
