Cell Communication and Immunology in Biomedical Engineering - Lecture 8

Explore cell communication in the nervous and immune systems in this 50-minute lecture from Yale University's Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering course. Delve into the mechanisms of signal transmission in neurons, including action potentials and neurotransmitter release. Gain insights into the innate and adaptive immune systems, focusing on antigen recognition, immune cells, antibodies, and major histocompatibility complexes. Examine the detailed immune responses of cytotoxic T cells, T helper cells, and B cells. Learn about the nervous system's structure and function, cell communication processes, and the body's defense mechanisms against foreign hosts.
