Across
  1. 2. Immunity is immunity that is developed during your lifetime. The body acquires immunity after the first exposure to an antigen through a 2-step process: primary response and secondary response.
  2. 5. Specific proteins produced in the humoral response to bind with an antigen
  3. 6. Immunity Is species-specific, decreasing the chance that a disease will spread from animals to humans.
  4. 8. White blood cells involved in cell-mediated immunity
  5. 9. Immunity Is gene-specific and related to ethnicity. also called nonspecific immunity. the body’s first, non-specific line of defense, present at birth and immediately active against pathogens without requiring prior exposure.
  6. 10. White blood cells that participate in allergic responses and defend against parasites
  7. 12. Cause vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and pain
  8. 13. factors Attract phagocytes to the area of inflammation
  9. 15. Includes lymphokines, monokines, interferons, and interleukins; produced by macrophages and activated T lymphocytes; stimulate activation and proliferation of B and T cells, communication between cells; involved in inflammation, fever, and leukocytosis
  10. 16. White blood cells that bind IgE and release histamine in anaphylaxis
  11. 19. Group of lipids with varying effects; some cause inflammation, vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and pain
  12. 21. Humoral immunity-activated cells that become antibody-producing plasma cells or B-memory cells
  13. 22. White blood cells for phagocytosis; nonspecific defense; active in the inflammatory process
Down
  1. 1. Phagocytosis; process and present antigens to lymphocytes for the immune response
  2. 3. Cells Release chemical mediators such as histamine in connective tissue
  3. 4. Released from mast cells and basophils, particularly in allergic reactions; causes vasodilation and increased vascular permeability or edema; also causes contraction of bronchiolar smooth muscle and pruritus
  4. 7. Foreign substances, microbes, or components of a cell that stimulate an immune response
  5. 11. Tissue and organs that contain many lymphocytes, filter body fluids, remove foreign matter, immune response
  6. 13. System A group of inactive proteins in the circulation that, when activated, stimulate the release of other chemical mediators, promoting inflammation, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis
  7. 14. Gland located in the mediastinum, large in children, decreasing in size in adults; site of maturation and proliferation of T-lymphocytes
  8. 17. Group of lipids, derived from mast cells and basophils, which cause contraction of bronchiolar smooth muscle and have a role in the development of inflammation
  9. 18. Marrow Source of stem cells, leukocytes, and maturation of B-lymphocytes
  10. 20. White blood cells that play a central role in the immune defense system
