What’s <strong>so</strong> <strong>great</strong> <strong>about</strong> a <strong>little</strong><strong>Cell</strong>?Relating <strong>Cell</strong> Structure toFunction in the Immune System
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 variou<strong>so</strong>rganelles within the cell. The cell membrane plays a role in the dynamic proces<strong>so</strong>f 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, viruse<strong>so</strong>r 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 re<strong>so</strong>urces andresearching on your own, you will learn <strong>about</strong> thestructure and function of your cell. You will developan annotated bibliography to document yourre<strong>so</strong>urces. Once knowledge is gained, you will showyour understanding by addressing specific prompts<strong>about</strong> your cell.
