Begin at spaces around cells throughout the body and are THIN-WALLED tubes | Lymph capillaries |
Carry lymph from tissue spaces to larger lymph vessels | Lymph capillaries |
Have THICKER walls than those of lymph capillaries. contain valves so lymph flows in only 1 direction. | Lymph Vessels |

Only active for a certain amount of time, antitoxins, antibodies from mother Immunoglobins | ACQUIRED IMMUNITY PASSIVE |
These originate from bone marrow stem cells and produce antibodies when exposed to specific antigens: viruses, bacteria | T CELLS |
Originate from stem cells in the bone marrow, but are processed in the thymus gloand with thymic hormones | T CELLS |
When ______ encounters an antigen, it multiplies rapidly to produce specific types of cells that destroy the antigen | T CELL |

____ Antibodies created in a laboratory cloning technique, designed to attack specific cancer cells | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MoAb) |
Antigens from tumor cells, May be injected or given as a nasal spray | VACCINES |
In ______ , T lymphocytes from a donor can replace a patient's immune system with new cells that recognize tumor cells as foreign and kill them | TRANSFER OF IMMUNE CELLS BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION |
Lymphocyte that originates in the bone marrow and transforms into a plasma cell to secrete antibodies | HELPER T CELL |
