Phagocytes Body Describe Role Cytokines Non Specific Defences Cell

The summary describes the role of cytokines in non-specific defenses as signaling molecules informing other phagocytes of attack, stimulating movement to infection sites, and raising body temperature.

O resumo descreve o papel das citocinas nas defesas não específicas como moléculas de sinalização que informam outros fagócitos sobre o ataque, estimulam o movimento para o local da infecção e aumentam a temperatura corporal.

Front Describe the role of cytokines in non-specific defences.
Back Cytokines:
  • Cell signalling molecules informing other phagocytes the body is under attack
  • Stimulating phagocytes to move to site of infection/inflammation
  • Increase body temp and stimulate specific immune system
