Info

The cell is the most basic unit of life, performing all of the functions necessary forlife. In the eukaryotic vertebrate cell these functions are performed by variousorganelles within the cell. The cell membrane plays a role in the dynamic processof molecular movement in and out of the cell. At this level of organization weclearly see connections between the structure of the cell and its function.When our bodies are presented with invading pathogens, such as bacteria, virusesor parasites, our cells of the immune system must respond quickly and withpurpose in order to overcome the infection. Structure and function play animportant role in the specificity of the immune response. What is invading thebody? How will the cells respond? And how will the infection be controlled? Ourimmune system makes good sense! Form fits function.
You will choose a cell in the immune system.Through investigating web resources andresearching on your own, you will learn about thestructure and function of your cell. You will developan annotated bibliography to document yourresources. Once knowledge is gained, you will showyour understanding by addressing specific promptsabout your cell.
