BHS 316 Week 3 Study Tool Discussion
Across
- 8. Pathogen that is not technically considered a living organism. Contains DNA or RNA, proteins, and occasionally lipids. Life cycle consists of 6 stages.
- 9. Contains no nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles.
- 10. Form of additional protection that consists of linked sugars and amino acids.
- 12. Cell formation in the blood.
- 14. Type of immune cell with branch-like extensions that captures, processes, and presents antigens to other immune cells.
- 17. Also known as red blood cells. Contain hemoglobin protein to transport oxygen throughout the body.
- 19. Lipid-sugar molecule that is located on the outermost surface of gram-negative bacteria.
- 20. Single-celled organism that are considered prokaryotes. Do not have any membrane-bound organelles or nucleus and can be a variety of shapes.
- 21. Form of immunity that is developed over time and based on exposure to pathogens/antigens. Specialized and has immunological memory.
- 22. Phagocytic and antigen-presenting. Mature into one of two cell types and do not contain granules. These circulate only in the blood.
Down
- 1. Also known as white blood cells but also serves as broad term for any cell that is not a red blood cell. Produced in the bone marrow and are essential for defending the body against infections, foreign substances, and abnormal cells.
- 2. Process where unspecialized or undifferentiated cells undergo specific changes to become specialized cells with distinct functions.
- 3. Form of immunity that serves as the first line of defense and does not require prior exposure. Also known as nonspecific/natural immunity. that begins at birth
- 4. Membrane-bound organelle that is found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Contains hydrolytic enzymes that can break down foreign substances.
- 5. Microorganism that can cause disease in its host organism.
- 6. Contains nuclei and membrane-bound organelles.
- 7. Fluid that used to be interstitial fluid. Moves using gravity and muscle movement.
- 11. Acquisition of specific structures and functions by cells, tissues, or organs to perform particular roles within an organism.
- 13. Process that allows certain cells to engulf and destroy foreign substances.
- 15. Are also classified as leukocytes. Term refers to three classes of cells in the adaptive immune system.
- 16. Type of white blood cell that functions to engulf and digest foreign substances/pathogens. Can signal cytokines to influence overall immune response.
- 18. Name for basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils. Can kill/damage pathogens after being released.
