Mature into macrophages
Monocytes
25
Which are responsible for specific immune response, B and T lymphocytes
Lymphocytes
26
Cells (part of nonspecific response) are also lymphocytes
Natural killer
26
Is a test to measure the ratio of WBCs
Differential white blood cell count
27
increased eosinophils --> allergies or parasitic worm infection
Eosinophilia
28
Is the process by which cells of the immune system engulf invading cells to break them down.
Phagocytosis
29
Is the movement of a cell in response to a chemical stimulus
Chemotaxis
30
Is when pseudopods extend from the phagocyte to surround the microbe
Ingestion
31
Is how the macrophage breaks down the invader that it swallowed
Digestion
31
Will eliminate the debris by exocytosis
Elimination
31
Is the recognition and attachment of the phagocyte to the invading cell.
Adherence
32
Use in movement and as a tool to capture prey.
Pseudopods
33
Phagocytose bacteria and secrete both proinflammatory and antimicrobial mediators
Macrophages
34
Controlling the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells.
Cytokines
