immune system

Question 1

parts of immune system

Answer 1

white blood cells, thymus, bone marrow, spleen, lymphatic system, antibodies, complement system

Question 2

WBC

Answer 2

made in bone marrow, key player in our immune system. part of lymphatic system. move through tissue looking for foreign invaders. include lymphocytes and other immune cells

Question 3

antibodies

Answer 3

help the body fight toxins it produces, mark antigens for destruction

Question 4

complement system

Answer 4

made up of proteins whose actions compliment antibodies

Question 5

lymphatic system

Answer 5

delicate tubes throughout the body..manage fluid levels, react to bacteria, deal with cancer cells, deal with cell products that would result in disease/disorders, absorb fats form our diet,

Question 6

lymphatic system structure

Answer 6

lymph nodes–trap microbes
lymph vessels–tubes that carry lymph
white blood cells

Question 7

spleen

Answer 7

blood filtering organ that removes microbes and destroys old/damages red blood cells, makes disease fighting components of immune system

Question 8

bone marrow

Answer 8

spongy tissue found inside bones..produces red blood cells (carry oxygen), white blood cells (fight infection), platelets (helps blood clot)

Question 9

thymus

Answer 9

filters and monitors blood content, produces white blood cells called T-lymphocytes

Question 10

adaptive immune system

Answer 10

a kind of passive or active immunity in which antibodies to a particular antigen are present in the body

Question 11

antigen

Answer 11

substances on the surfaces of agents that act to identify them, to the body, as being native or foreign

Question 12

antimicrobial

Answer 12

a substance that kills or inhibits growth of micro-organisms with minimal damage to the host

Question 13

antigen presenting cell (APC)

Answer 13

a cell that displays foreign antigens with major histocompatibility complexes on their surfaces

Question 14

B-cell

Answer 14

lymphocytes that mature in bone marrow and make antibodies in response to antigens

Question 15

barrier

Answer 15

a divider between parts of the body

Question 16

innate immune system

Answer 16

series of nonspecific barriers (physical, cellular, and soluble components) that impede pathogens from entering the body or multiplying.

Question 17

complement

Answer 17

the groups of proteins in blood serum and plasma that works with antibodies to destroy particulate antigens

Question 18

dendritic cell

Answer 18

antigen-presenting cells that process antigen material and present it to T-cells

Question 19

immunoglobulin

Answer 19

an antibody

Question 20

macrophage

Answer 20

a large white blood cell that ingests foreign material

Question 21

memory cell

Answer 21

a lymphocyte that responds to an antigen upon reintroduction

Question 22

phagocytosis

Answer 22

ingestion of particles by a cell or phagocyte

Question 23

plasma cell

Answer 23

a white blood cell that produces a single type of antibody

Question 24

T-cell

Answer 24

white blood cells that mature in the thymus and participate in immune response.

Question 25

B-lymphocytes

Answer 25

antibody-secreting cell triggered to proliferate upon vaccination

Question 26

T-lymphocytes

Answer 26

develop from stem cells in bone marrow
