Enhancement
Having done the quiz above, just have an introducing look on how non-specific and specific immune response work together. Watch two comic-animated and interactive films about injury and infection that bring our immune system on the scene (each films takes about 5 minutes and needs Adobe Flash Player):
Your task:
Try to summarize in own words how non-specific and specific immune response work.
Learners …
• develop basic (or deeper) overview of the cells of the immune system (structure knowledge, mental modelling)
• investigate on model level the interplay between the different cells of immune response (mental modelling)
• construct a process diagram to visualize the complex network of immune response (structure knowledge)
