Q

Carries immune responses (antibodies) throughout the animal's body in its fluids

A

Humoral defense

21
Q

The process of inducing active immunity against a particular foreign organism

A

Immunization

22
Q

The introduction of a foreign antigent into the body to stimulate an immune response

A

23
Q

The process by which the immune response against one organism also protects against a different organism

A
