Introduction:
Not very often an integrated approach is applied in knowledge areas as Immune System, instead, the contents are usually a sort of "atomization" that prevents from having a holistic vision of the set as a whole. At the moment, our university students usually incorporate the Internet in their study work, similarly, the teachers can resort to this tool to "widen" the boundaries of the real classes. Perhaps, to achieve a deeper study level in this knowledge field, the use of NTIC may result an appropriate resource for complementing and supporting the current conventional techniques.
Objective:
To create a communication space designed to deepen and up-date knowledge as well as to help the student construct a comprehensive, significant structure of knowledge by making interrelations with concepts previously acquired.
Material And Methods:
Course supported in a digital platform Moodle like, in LEV, FCEF and N, UNC. http://routerlab.efn.uncor.edu/moodle Category: Natural Sciences. http://lev.efn.uncor.edu/course category.php)id=2 RESOURCES: Power Point files: "Immune System" and "Cytokines"; forum discussion: Contents selected and organized upon a constructivist approach aiming at a reflective student responsible for his own learning (self learning).
Results:
The students according to their own concerns and time availability selected to deepen the knowledge field. The possibility to interact permanently in the discussion forum generated closer bonds between the participants, enriched the analysis about the different dealt issues, raised concerns that altogether brought about the rebuilding of the contents in a significant learning.
Conclusions:
Bearing in mind that the educational contents are vital, it also has been proved that the use of NTIC provides of tools for the distance education courses and of useful resources for the teaching-learning sciences.

Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...
Cell-mediated Immune Responses
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...

Phagocytes
Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
