  1. 3. More severe due to strong LPS-triggered immune reactions.
  2. 6. Immune signaling proteins that drive inflammation.
  3. 7. Nodes Structures that filter lymph and house immune cells.

  7. 14. Process where immune cells engulf and destroy pathogens.
  8. 15. White blood cells responsible for immune defense.
  9. 16. Non-specific, immediate immune defense.
  10. 17. Organ that stores immune cells and filters blood.
  11. 18. Presence of fungi in the blood.
  12. 19. Endotoxin from gram-negative bacteria triggering severe immune response.
