| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Specific Immunity involves a ............ response to the ........... ............. to that particular ............? | Specific immunity involves a specific response to the immune system to that particular infection |
| What does specific immunity result in? | Adaptive or Acquired Immunity |
| Long lasting? | Yes, this type of immunity is generally long lasting |
| When is the 3rd line of defense initiated? | When the foreign micro-organism has moved past the 1st and 2nd lines of defense and entered the body. |
| What does the 3rd line of defense involve? | Involves the white blood cell lymphocyte. |
| What do lymphocytes do? (3) | Recognize invading particles, react to the invasion and remember that particular type of invasion. |
| What happens if the same infection occurs again? | The response occurs more rapidly. |
| Where do B cells mature? | In the bone marrow |
| Where do T cells mature? | In the Thymus |
| Do they both make antibodies? | B cells do (specific antibodies) but T cells don't |
| What are B cells primarily responsible for? | Humoral Immunity |
| What is Humoral Immunity? | When B cells recognize antigens or pathogens that are circulating the lymph or blood. |
| What are T cells primary responsible for? | Cell Mediated Immunity |
