(b) Events of phagocytosis
Phagocyte adheres to pathogens.
Phagocyte engulfs the particles, forming a phagosome.
Lysosome fuses with the phagocytic vesicle, forming a phagolysosome.
Lysosomal enzymes digest the pathogensor debris, leaving a residual body.

Figure 12.11 Lymphocyte differentiation and activation.
Red bone marrow: site of lymphocyte origin
Primary lymphoid organs: site ofdevelopment of immunocompetence asB or T cells
Secondary lymphoid organs: site ofantigen encounter, and activation tobecome effector and memory B or T cells
Lymphocytes destined to become T cellsmigrate (in blood) to the thymus and develop immunocompetence there. B cells develop immunocompetence in red bone marrow.
Immunocompetent but still naive lymphocytes leave the thymus and bone marrow. They “seed” the lymph nodes, spleen, and other lymphoid tissues, where they encounter their antigen and become activated.
Antigen-activated (mature) immunocompetent lymphocytes (effector cells and memory cells) circulate continuously in the bloodstream and lymph and throughout the lymphoid organs of the body.

Sensitization stage
Antigen (allergen)invades body.
Plasma cells producelarge amounts of classIgE antibodies againstallergen.
IgE antibodies attachto mast cells in bodytissues (and to circulatingbasophils).
Mast cell with fixed IgEantibodies
Granules containinghistamine
IgE
Subsequent (secondary)responses
More of same allergeninvades body.
Allergen binding to IgE on mast cells triggersrelease of histamine (and other chemicals).
Antigen
Mast cell granules release contents after antigen bindswith IgE antibodies
Histamine
Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate and become leaky,which promotes edema; stimulates release of large amounts ofmucus; and causes smooth muscles to contract.
Outpouring of fluid from capillaries
Release of mucus
Constriction of bronchioles
