This is to certify that Rahul Tripathi and of class XII has

successfully completed this Biology project on the topic
IMMUNITY prescribed by Mr. Vikas Dixit Sir, during
academic session 2012-2013 as per the guidelines issues
by Central Board of Secondary Education.

Granulocytes
Neutrophils: Neutrophils defend against bacterial
or fungal infection , have a multilobed nucleus.
The life span of a circulating human neutrophil is
about 5.4 days.

Eosinophils: Eosinophils primarily deal with

parasitic infections. Eosinophils are also the
predominant inflammatory cells in allergic
reactions. They have a bi-lobed nucleus.

Basophils: Basophils are chiefly responsible for

allergic and antigen response by releasing the
chemical histamine causing vasodilation.

Agranulocytes
Lymphocytes: common in the lymph
system and of three types: B cells, T cells
and natural killer cells.

Monocytes: they present pieces of

pathogens to T cells so that the pathogens
may be recognized again and killed.
Monocytes eventually leave the
bloodstream to become tissue
macrophages.

 Positive events of the day seem to have a stronger helpful impact on

immune function. Having a good time on Monday still had a positive effect
on the immune system by Wednesday.
The frequent hand washing can break down the natural oils on the skin that
serve as the first line (or layer) of defense for the immune system.
Studies show that people who lack humor in their lives tend to have less
protective immune responses.
While the body needs some sunlight to produce vitamin D, too much
sunshine can suppress the immune system.

To make this project I have taken source from the following books:1. Ramesh Gupta
2. Biology N.C.E.R.T
I have taken source from internet too , and taken help of our biology teacher
Mr. Vikas Dixit sir.

We would like to thank our Biology sir Mr. Vikas Dixit,

who provided us this opportunity to make a project on
IMMUNITY which really helped us to understand the
concepts of Immunity of our body.
