Question
Answer
organs of the immune system   lymph nodes, bone marrow, thymus, spleen  
🗑
nonspecific immunity   innate immunity, the responses cells carry out without learning  
🗑
specific immunity   adaptive immunity is developed as immune cells learn to recognize and respond to particular antigens. divided into humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity  
🗑
humoral immunity   mediated by B-cells. B-cells proliferate to make plasma cells and memory cells. antibodies are made my plasma cells. effective against bacterial infections  
🗑
Cell-mediated immunity   involves T-lymphocytes. three major classes are helper T-cells, suppressor T-cells, and killer (cytotoxic) T-cells. fights viral and fungal infection  
🗑
antibodies   fight infection by binding to foreign antigens, thereby allowing other immune cells (eg macrophages) to phagocytize them  
🗑
Types of immunizations   active immunization results in a sustained immune response mediated by B-cells. Passive immunization effects are short lived  
🗑
natural immunization   natural immunization is the result of exposure to the antigen in nature or transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus.  
🗑
artificial immunization   artificial active immunization uses weakened to dead forms of microbes to generate an immune response without causing active infection  
🗑
lymphatic system   secondary circulatory system that removes excess fluid from the interstitial space. also transports fat molecules from the intestinal epithelial cells to bloodstream and serves as a conduit for the movement of immune cells  
🗑
