25
phagocytic cells
neutrophils and macrophages
26
inflammation
non-specific immune response
27
immune system organs
bone marrow and thymus gland
28
thymus gland
produces T-cells
29
immune system tissue
spleen and tonsils
30
immune system cells
T and B lymphocytes
31
epitopes
part of the antigen that the antibody reacts with (active site)
32
humoral immunity
produces the antibodies to fight infection
33
T lymphocytes
search and destroy
34
1. Recognition
ability to recognize small differences in antigens
35
2. Specificity
directs a response toward a specific antigen
36
3. Memory
remembers the specific antigen
37

quick response to another exposure to an already recognized infection
38
antibodies are also known as...
immunoglobulins (immune goblins)
