HB Immune System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| An agent that causes disease | Pathogen |
| Set of rules for determining the cause of a disease | Robert Kochs' Postulates |
| A prokaryotic pathogen, an example would be Staphylococcus Aureus | Bacteria |
| A eukaryotic single celled pathogen, an example would be a amoeba | Protist |
| A pathogen that has to infect a cell before it can reproduce, an example would be the common cold | Virus |
| A multicellular pathogen without a backbone, an example would be Trichinella spiralis | Invertebrate |
| A pathogen described as a microorganism that has cell walls, an example would be a mold | Fungi |
| Same level of defense for all pathogens | Non-specific Immunity |
| A physical barrier protecting the body from pathogens which can secrete sweat and oil | Skin |
| Pathogen killing chemical in sweat | Lysozyme |
| Tissues that protect body cavities (nasal cavity) from pathogens | Mucous Membranes |
| A sticky substance found in body cavities that can trap pathogens | Mucus |
| Hair-like structures in the respiratory system that moves mucus up the trachea | Cilia |
| A series of events that suppress pathogens and speed recovery by increasing blood flow to affect area | Inflammatory Response |
| Damaged cells release this neurotransmitter | Histamine |
| A white blood cell that will engulf pathogens | Phagocyte |
| Most abundant white blood cell in body | Neutrophil |
| Larger white blood cell which is stationed in specific places in then body | Macrophage |
| A white blood cell that puncture a pathogen's membrane | Natural Killer Cells |
| An increase in body temperature which can slow pathogen growth | Fever |
| The system that uses 20 different proteins that attack pathogens | Complement System |
| Proteins that causes cells to go into viral resistance mode | Interferons |
| A system of cells and tissues that protect the body from pathogens | Immune System |
| The system that gathers and filters fluid that leaks from the circulatory system | Lymphatic System |
| Lymphatic tissue found throughout the body and exposes pathogens to lymphocytes | Lymph Nodes |
| This organ,found next to your stomach, breaks down old blood cells, helps produce lymphocytes, and traps pathogens | Spleen |
| Lymphatic tissue found in the nose | Adenoid |
| Lymphatic tissue found in the throat | Tonsils |
| Disease that causes massive swelling of the body due to a back up of lymph fluid | Elephantiasis |
| A tissue that will produce billions of white blood cells; found in the long bones (femur) | Bone Marrow |
| A gland above the heart that will produce lymphocytes for the lymphatic system | Thymus Gland |
| Proteins found on the outside of the pathogen that allows the immune system to recognize it as foreign | Antigen |
| Specific immune responses based on cell activity | Cell Mediated Response |
| The lymphocyte that will release interleukin-1 to induce more cellular activity | Helper T Cell |
| The chemical that activates other Helper T Cells | Interleukin-1 |
| The chemical produced from Helper T Cells that will activate Cytotoxic T Cells | Interleukin-2 |
| A type of T Cell that kill pathogen | Cytotoxic T Cells |
| A type of T Cell that shut down the Cell Mediated Response when the pathogens are destroyed | Suppressor T Cells |
| Specific immunity based on the use of antibodies | Humoral Immune Response |
| Type of lymphocyte that when activated by interleukin-2, divide into Plasma Cells | B Cells |
| A specialized cell that produces antibodies | Plasma Cell |
| A Y shaped molecule that deactivates pathogens and toxins | Antibodies |
