Q

2 key _ work together

A

Immune responses

24
Q

(1st response) natural response quickly tries to

A

Stop pathogen from spreading

25
(2nd immune response) slower adaptive response requires
Exposure to pathogen
26
Exposure to pathogen allows it to (slower response)
Learn to Identify it rapidly
27
Different types of white blood cells patrol or
Wait to be alerted
28
Many types of white blood cells play a role in
Both immune response stages
29
White blood cells and immune cells detect a pathogen via
It’s antigen
30
An antigen is
Surface protein
31
When immune and white blood cells detect a pathogen, they (pathogen detected)
Signal other immune cells
32
Some white blood cells try to _ or _ pathogens (natural response)
Absorb Destroy
33
Other white blood cells try to destroy _ or _ cells (natural response)
Infected Abnormal
34
(Adaptive response) if natural response doesn’t work, certain white blood cells produce
Antibody specific to the pathogen
35
The antibody specific to the pathogen (adaptive response)
Locks onto it
36
Other Antibody specific to pathogen, _ it (adaptive response)
Destroys it
37
Memory cells are (2)
