The host is constantly exposed to attack by pathogens. In the focus blood and defense in the 3rd semester aspects of the pathogen defense are mediated and how pathogens manage to outwit the immune system by evasion mechanisms.
- blood, haematopoiesis
- erythrocytes
- bleeding protection
- Primary lymphatic organs
- Secondary lymphatic organs
- Function of leukocytes in the innate immune defence (1)
- Function of leukocytes in the innate immune defence (2)
- Function of leukocytes in adaptive immune defence: cellular immunity
- Function of leukocytes in adaptive immune defence: humoral immunity
- Function of leukocytes in adaptive immune defence: antibodies
- Blood count in clinical diagnostics
- Blood group antigens, blood transfusion reactions
- Immunopathological examples (blood)
- Diagnostic examples (blood)
Blood composition, blood groups, blood group incompatibilities
- definition can reflect blood group
- Being able to explain test systems for blood group compatibility
- the development of neonatal isoerythrolysis in horses can be described
maturation of immune cells in primary lymphatic organs

Activation of immune cells in secondary lymphatic organs
- be able to explain the activation of T/B cells in secondary lymphatic organs
- be able to describe the circulation of immune cells in the body
Basics of innate immunity
- be able to explain the modes of action of innate immunity (complement, phagocytosis, left shift, antigen presentation, chemotaxis)
Basics of T cell immunity
