Blood, Lymph, and Immune System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| anaphylaxis | Exaggerated,life-threatening hypersitivity reaction to a previously encountered antigen. |
| antibody | Proteins that are the most inportant weapon of the immune system. |
| antigen | Substance that is recognized as harmful to the host and stimulates the formation of antibodies. |
| celluar immunity | Acquired specific resistance,mediated by T cells,that produces reactive substances or directly exerts a cytotoxic effect on a cell that is identified as harmful. |
| host | Organism in or on which anothe(usually parasitic)organism is nourished and harbored. |
| humoral immunity | Aquired specific resistance(B cells) that produces antibodies that bind to and dispose of antigens. |
