Pathophysiology Exam 1: Immunity Objectives 1) Describe the cell functions of the Immune System: Lymphocytes- small white blood cells that are responsible for much of the work of the immune system. Three types: Natural Killer Cells-NK cells provide rapid responses to virally infected cells and respond to tumor formation. NK cells are unique bc they have the ability to recognize stressed cells in the absence of antibodies and MHC‚ allowing for a much faster immune reaction. Trigger phagocytes
