25
What are lymph nodes
Masses of lymphoid tissue | Composed mostly of lymphocytes
26
naturally acquired active immunity
previous exposure | Ex: get the flu, fight it off
27
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Transfer from person to person
28
Artificially acquired active immunity
Vaccination

Whooping cough
33
Where do B cells develop
Red bone marrow (peyers patches)
34
What is humoral immunity
B cell; Macrophage identifies antigen
35
Cell mediated immunity
T cells; macrophage identifies and kills antigen
36
Where do T cells develop
In the thymus- migrate to lymphoid tissue
37
What is the spleen
"Large filter", has white and red pulp, filter and blood reservoir
38
What is the kidney
Receives Afferent lymph vessels Efferent vessels carry away Fibrous capsule surrounds
39
What is the thymus gland
Located in mediastinum, 6months to 5 years of age, site of t lymphocyte maturation

foreign substances that stim immune response (badges)
43
Antibodies
Proteins that react to antigens
