Across
  1. 1. response - a complex series of events that invlves many chemicals and immune cells that hep enhance the overall immune response
  2. 6. Cells - long living cells that are exposed to the antigen during the primary immune response
  3. 7. proteins - enhance phagocytosis by helping the phagocytic cells bind better to pathogens and activating the phagocytes
  4. 8. - blood cells that ingest bacteria and remove dead neutophils and other debris
  5. 14. Organs - The organs of the hymphatic system contain lymphatic tissue, lymphocytes, a few other cell types, and connective tissue
  6. 16. Cells - located in all lymphatic tissues and can be thought of as antibody factories
  7. 17. - virus infected cells secrete a protein
  8. 18. Barrier - the first major line of defense is the unbroken skin and its secretions
  9. 19. - a type of white blood cell that is produced in red bone marrow
  10. 20. T Cells - destroy pathogens and release chemicals called cytokines
  11. 21. Defense - if foreign microorganisms enter the body, the cells of the immune system defend the body
Down
  1. 2. - blood cells that produce antibodies and other chemicals
  2. 3. - blood cells that ingest bacteria
  3. 4. - secreted by many inner surfaces of the body
  4. 5. System - includes organs and cells that filter lymph and blood, destroy foreign microorganisms, and absorb fat
  5. 9. - proteins produced by B lymphocytes that specifically react with a foreign antigen
  6. 10. - like strong walls of a fort, barriers are used by the body to protect against pathogens
  7. 11. T Cell - the processed antigen on its surface, binds to a type of lymphocyte
  8. 12. - called vaccinations
  9. 13. Barriers - Saliva, tears, and nasal secretions contain the enzyme lysozyme
  10. 15. Acid - secreted in your stomach
