  1. 1. This kind of barrier is provided by keratinised cells of the epidermis
  2. 4. This gland is responsible for maintaining consistent human body temperature
  3. 8. This response level of the immune system will not be assessed in assessment task 3
  4. 9. This stage of the innate immune response results in pain and redness, and will continue until either the pathogen is controlled or the host dies
  5. 10. Which line of defense consists of halting entry of pathogens into the host?
  6. 12. Which line of defense consists of non-adaptive immune cells attempting to control a pathogen that has already penetrated the body's barriers?
  7. 13. A condition of increased temperature
  8. 15. This condition results in an increase in the proliferation and activity of leukocytes
  9. 17. The presence of these protein-based chemicals results in fever during the inflammatory response
  10. 18. These phagocytic leukocytes recruit macrophages, and secrete defensins and hydrogen peroxide
Down
  1. 2. This chemical leads to vasodilation, allowing more blood containing leukocytes to penetrate the infected region
  2. 3. Once activated, these leukocytes release their own cytokines
  3. 5. Plants only have this kind of immune response
  4. 6. This condition results in decreased rate of pathogenic replication
  5. 7. This type of cell is recruited by chemokines, and release histamine
  6. 11. This kind of cytokine interferes with replicatory mechanisms of pathogens, particularly viruses
  7. 14. This kind of cytokine attracts immune cells to the area to enhance the immune response
  8. 16. The kind of barrier provided by antimicrobial secretions of epithelial cells in the
