| Which of the following is an immunoglobin? | Antibody |
| Which of the following is used to confer passive immunity? | Antiserum |
| The term that describes an attenuated organism is | Weakened |
| Interferons are active against infections caused by _____? | Viruses |
| White blood cells take in foreign material by the process of ____? | Phagocytosis |
| Inborn nonspecific defenses make up one's _________ immunity | Innate |
| An abnormal reactivity to one's own tissue is called? | Autoimmunity |
| Which of the following is not a T Cell? | Plasma Cell |
| Which of the following cells or substances are part of ones innate immune defenses? | Natural Killer Cells |
| Define Immune sysetm | All the cells and tissues that protect against foreign organisms |
| Portals of entry | skin, respiratory system, digestive tract, and reproductive system |
| Virulence | The aggressiveness of an invasive power (a virus) |
| What cells are correlated with adaptive immunity? | B Cells and T Cells |
| Examples of Innate cells | Phagocytes, natural killer cells, inflammation, etc. |
| Examples of innate barriers | skin, mucous membranes, body secretions, reflexes |
| Macrophages | Large white blood cells derived from monocytes |
| Natural Killer Cells | Secrete protein that breakdowns the pathogen cell membrane |
| Phagocytes | Eat pathogens |
| Interferon | certain cells infected with a virus release a substance that prevents nearby cells from producing more viruses (INTERFERES) |
| Complement | bind to foreign cell to help with phagocytosis (COMPLEMENTS) |
| Adaptive Immunity | power to overcome a specific disease agent |
| Antigen | protein in nature that induces immune response |
| T Cells | Originate in red bone marrow |
| B Cell | originate and mature in red bone marrow and produce Y shaped proteins |
| Natural Active Immunity | Immunity formed after natural events in life |
| Natural Passive Immunity | Antibodies come from another source (mom to baby) |
| Artificial Passive Immunity | Antibody from an outside source but does not protect against future infections (medicine) |
| Artificial Active Immunity | results in activation of immune response against pathogen and provides future protection (a vaccine) |
