Week 11 Anatomy

Ch 33 Adaptive immunity

QuestionAnswer
What is adaptive immunity? Specific defense that recognizes and remembers specific pathogens—includes T cells and B cells.
What triggers adaptive immunity? Antigens—foreign molecules that the immune system recognizes as a threat.
What are the two types of adaptive immunity? Cell-mediated immunity and antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity.
What are lymphocytes? T cells and B cells—key players in adaptive immunity.
What is cell-mediated immunity? Defense carried out by T cells, especially cytotoxic T cells that kill infected or abnormal cells.
What is antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity? Involves B cells making antibodies that bind to and neutralize antigens.
What do helper T cells do? Help activate B cells and cytotoxic T cells; they’re the “managers” of immune response.
What do cytotoxic T cells do? Kill infected cells, cancer cells, and transplant cells using chemicals like perforin.
What do memory cells do? Stay in the body to provide faster response if the pathogen shows up again.
What is active immunity? Your body makes its own antibodies after infection or vaccination—long-lasting.
What is passive immunity? You receive antibodies from another source (like a baby from mom or antibody injection)—temporary.
What are antibodies (immunoglobulins)? Y-shaped proteins made by plasma B cells that bind to antigens.
What are the main types of antibodies? IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD—each with different roles.
What is immunological memory? The body’s ability to respond faster and stronger when it sees the same antigen again.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
