MindMap Gallery Activation and function of complement system
The activation and function of the complement system encompass three activation pathways, complement components, and complement functions. The three activation pathways include the classical pathway, lectin pathway, and alternative pathway, each with their initiation mechanisms. Key complement components such as C3, C4, and C5 play crucial roles in cascade reactions. Complement functions include opsonization, phagocytosis, and inflammation, contributing to immune defense and clearance of pathogens.
