cells, weak cells, and other toxins within tissues % of WBCs: 3–8%
Response: Phagocytosis Site of maturation: Various tissues of the
body
Location of mature cells: Blood, connective and lymphatic tissue
Secretes: Enzymes, lysomes, chemokines, cytokines, 0 2 radicalsType of immunity: InnateMast Cells
Definition: Essential to inflammatory response found in connective
tissue, under the skin, and in the mucosa of the GI tract and
respiratory tissues. Helps promote inflammation through the release
of various chemicals. They are mediated by 1gE.

Response: Inflammation
Site of maturation: Various tissues within the body
Location of mature cells: Connective tissue, skin, mucosa, and
gastrointestinal tissues
Secretes: Histamine, proteinases, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, kinins,
interferon, complements
Type of immunity: InnateSECONDARY RESPONSE — Your secondary T-cell response comes from
T-memory cells. Your T-memory cells work like your B-memory cells in that
they “remember” past exposure to antigens and have created “antibodies” to
fight them.
Creation of Immune Cells
WHITE BLOOD CELLS (WBCs) — Your immune cells are called white
blood cells (WBCs), of which there are many types. Your bone marrow
produces your white blood cells as the body’s primary internal defense.
These cells are then sent through the lymph system to mature or to be
converted into larger and more specific cells.
