part of the eye processes an image | retina |
These blood cells are a huge part of the immune system. There are different types of these cells, each one performs a specific function | White Blood Cells |
reason for why your body's immune response to a second exposure (of the same pathogen) may be differently treated | B-cells "remember" antigens they have seen before and produce antibodies quickly. |

living microscopic, single-celled, eukaryotic, animal-like organisms.( example =Giardia.) | Protist |
mode of transmission occurs when a living object carries the infectious agent from one host to another,(like a mosquito carrying Zika virus) | Vector-borne |
T-Cells are made in the... | Thymus |
This substance is used to simulate an immune response (the goal of creating antibodies and providing immunity to specific infections.) | Vaccine |
A large, eukaryotic, multicellular, parasitic worm (examples= tapeworm, liver fluke, or a leech.) | Helminth |
White Blood Cells are made in the... | Bone marrow |
describes the body's immune system overreacting to an infection ( thats causing inflammation). | sepsis |
limits the body's normal inflammatory response to prevent damage and impairment that might result from swelling and higher body temperatures. | Immune privilege |
parts of the innate immune system. | Tears & cilia |
