| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Lymphocytw that originates in the bone marrow and transforms into a plasma cell to secrete antibodies | B Cell |
| Lymph nodes in the armpit | axillary nodes |
| Substances that the body recognizes as foreign;evokes an immue response | antigen |
| Protein produced by B cell lymphocytes to destroy antigens | antibody |
| Mass of lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx | adenoids |
| Production of antibodies and lymphocytes after exposue to an antigen | acquired immunity |
| Lymph nodes in the neck region | cervical nodes |
| Proteins in the blood that help antibodies and T cells kill their target | complement system |
| Proteins that aid and regulate the immune response (ex interferons and interleukins | cytokines |
| T lymphocyte that directly kills foregn cells (CDS+cell or T8 cell) | ctotoxic T cell |
| Specialized macrophage that digests foreign cells and helps B and T cells to mark antigens for destruction | dendritic cell |
| Lymphocyte that aids B cells & cytotoxic T cells in recognizing antigens & stimiulating antibody production (CD4+cell or T4 cell) | helper T cell |
| Bodies ability to resist foreign organisms & toxins | immunity |
| Antibodies (gamma globulins) such as IgA IgE IgG IgM and IgD that are secreted by plasma cells in response to the prescence of an antigen | immunoglobulins |
| Use of immune cells,antibodies,or vaccines to treat or prevent disease | immunotherapy |
| lymph nodes in the groin region | inguinal nodes |
| Proteins (cytokines) secreted by T cells to aid and regulate the immune response | interferons |
| proteins (cytokines) that stimulate the growth of B and T lymphocytes | interleukins |
| Fluid in the spaces between cells. This fluid becomes lymph when it enters lymph capillaries | interstitial fluid |
| Thin,watery fluid found within lymphatic vessels and collected from tisses throughout the body | lymph |
| tiniest lymphatic vessels | lymph capillaries |
| Lymph nodes,spleen, and thymus gland | lymphoid organs |
| A collection of stationary solid lymphatic tissue along lymph vessels | lymph node |
| Carrier of lymph throughout the body | lymph vessel |
| Large phagocyte found in lymph nodes and other tissues of that body | macrophage |
| Lymph nodes in the area between the lungs in the thoracic cavity | mediastinal nodes |
| Antibody produced in a laboratory to attack antigens and to destroy cells(it is useful in immunotherapy) | monodonal antibody |
| Protection that an individual inherits to fight infection | natural immunity |
| Lymphocyte that produces and secretes antibodies. It originates from B lymphocytes | plasma cell |
| Large lymphatic vessel in the chest that recieves lymph from the upper right part of the body | right lymphatic duct |
| Organ near the stomach that produces,stores,and eliminates blood cells | spleen |
| Lymphocyte that inhabits the activity of B and T lymphocytes. Also called a Treg(regulatory T cell) | suppressor T cell |
| Lymphocyte that origanates in the bone marrow but matures in the thymus gland;it acts directly on antigens to destroy them or produce chemicals(cytotines)such as interferons and interleukins that are toxic to antigens | T cell(T lymphocyte) |
| The ability of T lymphocytes to recognize and accept the bodys own antigens as "self"or friendly | tolerance |
| Large lymphatic vessel in the chest that recieves lymph from below the diaphragm and from the left side of the body above that diiaphragm;it emphties the lymph into veins in the upper chest | thoracic duct |
| Organ in the mediastinum that conditions T lymphocytes to react to foreign cells and aids in the immune response | thymus gland |
| Mass of lymphatic tissue in the back of the oropharynx | tonsils |
| Poisin;a protein produced by certain bacteria,animals,or plants | toxin |
| Exposure of an individual to a foreign protein(antigen) that provokes an immune response | vaccination |
| Weakened of killed microorganism toxins, or other proteins given to induce immunity to infection or disease | vaccine |
