Immune System Ch 35

        Help!  

Question
Answer

🗑
Where and what do the stem cells differentiate into?   show
🗑
show they become immunocompetent  
🗑
show by the appearance of specific cell-surface proteins that enable the lymphocytes to respond (by binding) to a particular antigen  
🗑
After differentiation, what do the B and T cells do after they leave the bone marrow and thymus?   show
🗑
What is triggered when an antigen binds to the specific cell-surface receptors of a T or B cell?   show

🗑
What are B cells that act indirectly thru the antibodies that their progeny release into the bloodstream or other body fluids said to provide?   show
🗑
show T cell clones  
🗑

🗑
show T cell clones  
🗑
show cells that can inhibit the immune response  
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
