| The only organs to filter lymph are | Lymph Nodes |
| The only lymphatic organ to filter blood is | Spleen |
| The lymphatic organ that produces hormones and is involved in maturation of T lymphocytes is | Thymus |
| The bactericidal enzyme secreted in mucus membranes is | Lysozyme |
| The enzyme secreted by certain pathogens in that can dissolve the viscous ground substance in areolar tissue is | Hyaluronidase |
| The release of superoxide (02-), hydrogen peroxide (H202), and hypocholorite ion HCLO-, by neurtrophils is referred to as a | Respiratory Burst |
| Type of leukocyte with antiparasite activity and is also linked to allergic response | Eosinophil |
| Lymphocyte that is active in nonspecific attack against viral or bacterial infected cells | Natural Killer Cells |
| Circulating leukocytes that are precursors to macrophages | Monocytes |
| Inflammatory leukocyte that releases histamine and heparin and attracts other WBCs to the are of inflammation | Basophils or mast cells |
| Process of leukocytes adhering to wall of blood vessel | Margination |
| Process of leukocytes squeezing through capillary walls | Diapedesis |
| Type of leukocyte that is quickest to respond and begin phagocytosis | Neutrophils |
| Phagocytic leukocyte that is the second to respond to an area of infection (8-12 hours) | Macrophage |
| Factor released by endothelial cells and platelets that stimulates fibroblasts to begin synthesizing collagen | PDGF |
| Polypeptide secreted by virally infected cells that has protective effect on surrounding cells | Interferons |
| Group of 20 enzyme like proteins n he blood that enhance inflammation and antimicrobial activity | Complement |
| Covering of bacterial surface that permits or enhances phagocytosis by macophages | Opsonization |
| Protein produced by macrophages that stimulates the hypothalamus to secrete PDE which leads to fever | Pyrogen |
| Antibody mediated specific immunity | Humoral |
| Molecules that can evoke an immune response and are usually (but not always) proteins | Antigens |
| Area on antibody that binds foreign materials | Variable Region |
| Class of antibody that is a pentamer and is involved in the initial immune response | Igm |
| Class of antibody that is involved with secondary immune response and is the most abundant of the antibodies | Igg |
| Class of antibodies involved in secretions such as tears, saliva and intestinal juices | Iga |
| Antibody action that causes the antigen and antibody to form a solid particle that can be phagocytosed | Precipitation |
| Hormone like messengers between lymphocytes | Lymphokinds |
| Type of lymphocyte involved in humoral immunity | B Cells |
| Active antibody producing cells in blood | Plasma Cells |
| Type of lymphocyte that is directly involved in attacking viral infected cells | Killer T Cells |
| Type of lymphocyte that is involved in the activation of both the cell mediated and humoral immunity | Helper T Cells |
| Type of cells that can activate B lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocytes by bringing them antigen fragments | APC |
| Type of cell mediated cell that forms clones for future exposure to antigens | Memory T Cells |
| Type of lymphocytes that can limit the attack of the immune system by releasing inhibiting lymphokines | Suppressor T Cells |
| Type of self antigen found on macrophages and other APCs | MHC II |
| Type of self antigen found on all nucleated cells | MHC I |
| Type of MHC antigen that is recognized by CD4 receptors | MHC I |
| Type of lymphocyte that has CD8 receptors | Killer T Cells |
| Costimulator provided by macrophages to helper T cells | IL I |
| Costimulator provided by helper T cells to cytotoxic T cells | IL II |
| Function of lymphotoxins produced by the killer T cells | Destroy DNA |
| Chemical released by killer T cells that punch holes in virally infected cell | Perforin |
| Factor produced by killer T cells that destroys cells infected by cancer | Tumor Necrosis Factor or TNF |
| Type of T cell that slows down the immune response | Suppressor T-Cells |
| Type of immunity that is transmitted from mother to fetus | Natural Passive Immunity |
| Type of immunity that is developed from a vaccination | Artificial Active Immunity |
| Type of immunity developed after having a disease | Natural Active Immunity |
| Factor released by killer T cells that attracts macophages to the area of attack | Migration-Inhibiting Factor |
| Type of antibody involved in the agglutination of red blood cells | Igm |
| Enzyme used by retroviruses to plant genetic material of the virus into the host’s genome | Reverse Transcriptase |
