Chap 35-Immune

Immune System Miller/Levine Biology

QuestionAnswer
The most widespread, non-specific defense the human body has. Skin
This non-specific defense traps pathogens...and contains an enzyme to destroy bacteria. mucus
These are the 3 non-specific responses that are part of the bodies second line of defense. Histamines, Interferon, Fever
Causes swelling at the infected area, by increasing blood flow. Histamines
Substance the body produces to inhibit the growth of viruses. Interferon
True or False. Fever speeds up the immune response. True
Any foreign substance that triggers an immune response. antigen
A type of protein that "tags" antigens for destruction. antibodies
The 2 main cells that travel throughout the body, protecting it from invaders by looking for foreign antigens. T and B cells (lymphocytes)
Part of humoral immunity, these cells produce and release antibodies. Plasma Cells
Cells that "remember" antigens after plasma cells die...rapidly produce new plasma cells if infection returns. Memory B Cells
Type of immunity that occurs inside of the bodies fluids. Humoral Immunity
Type of immunity that occurs inside of cells infected by pathogens. Cell-Mediated Immuniuty
These cells recognize antigens on infected cells, divide into more cells, and activate B cells, Cytotoxic T cells, and produce memory T cells. Helper T-cells
These cells are Natural Killer Cells, hunting down and terminating infected cells. Cytotoxic T-cells
The 2 ways Cytotoxic T-Cells kill infected cells. puncture membrane or initiate apoptosis.
These cells help keep the immune system in check. suppressor T-cells
These cells make organ transplant difficult. Cytotoxic T-cells
Tranmission of a disease from animals to humans. zoonosis
Organism that carry diseases allowing them to spread. vectors
These white blood cells actual consume pathogens..then display antigen on surface of cell. macrophages
