16
Q

Two types of Acquired Immunity

A

Active Acquired Immunity
Passive Acquired Immunity

17
Q

Antibodies that are actually produced within the person’s body

A

Active Acquired Immunity

18
Q

Immunity that results from a vaccine

A

Artificial Active Acquired Immunity

19
Q

The person receives antibodies that were produced by another person or by more than one person

A

Passive Acquired Immunity

20
Q

This acquired immunity is temporary

A

Passive Acquired Immunity

21
Q

Acquired by an acquired immunity fetus when it receives antibodies un utero; infant receives colostrum

A

Natural Passive Acquired Immunity

22
Q

Acquired when acquired immunity a person receives antibodies contained in antisera or gamma globulin

A

Artificial Passive Acquired Immunity

23
Q

Defined as material that can artificially induce immunity to an infectious disease

24
Q

Deliberately exposes a person to a harmless version of pathogen or toxin

A

Vaccination

25
The process of weakening of pathogens
Attenuation
26
This should not be given to immunosuppresed individuals
Attenuated Vaccines
27
Vaccines made by pathogens that have been inactivated viruses or viral antigens; killed by heat or chemicals
Inactivated vaccines
28
Also known as acellular vaccine
Subunit Vaccine
29
Major cell types that participate in immune responses
B-lymphocytes T-lymphocytes Nk cells Macrophages
30
These cells of immune system produces antibodies
B-lymphocytes
31
These cells of immune system are usually found in cander patients
Nk cells
32
These cells of immune system aids in tissue repair
Macrophages
33
Two major categories of T-cells
Helper T-cells Cytotoxic T-cells
34
Also known as T-helper cells, Th cells, and CD4 cells
Helper T cells
35
Also known as T-cytotoxic cells, TC cells, and CD8 cells
Cytotoxic T cells
36
Primay function is secretion of cytokines
Helper T cells
37
This T CELLS destroy infected host cell, foreign cells, or tumor cells
Cytotoxic cells
