A
  • located in cranial abdomen
  • filters foreign material from blood, stores erythrocytes, removes damaged or old erythrocytes, and maintains an appropriate balance of cells and plasma in the blood.
  • secondary lymphoid tissue where mature lymphocytes await antigenic stimulation

Q

B cells

A

Humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity.

  • produce antibodies that react with antigen or substances produced by the antigen
  • most effective against bacteria, viruses that are outside body cells, and toxins.
  • involved in allergic reactions
