16
Q

IgM

A

w IgG form immune complexes

17
Q

IgA

A

in secretion and attack pathogen

18
Q

naturally acquire immunity

A

natural exposure trigger immune response

19
Q

artificially acquired immunity

A

non natural exposure trigger immunity
ex. vaccine

20
Q

artificially acquired passive immunity

A

give antibodies

21
Q

naturally acquired passive immunity

A

given antigens

22
Q

allergies

A

b cells over produce IgE

23
Q

lymph nodes

A

structure remove debris and pathogen fr lymph
has outer cortex and inner medulla
opening = sinuses
has macrophages and lympcytes

24
Q

lymphatic system

A

capillaries get interstitial fluid left fr circulatory
filter fluid and put it back
transport fats

25
Q

lymphatic capillaires

A

not in cns, bone marrow, anywhere w less blood flow
flow one direction w valves = up permeability

26
Q

lymphatic vessels

A

one way flow w vessles
collection of capillaries
smooth muscle contraction push fluid
