Lymphatic and Immune System
Across
- 2. Between cells of the tissues, often used interchangeably with ‘intercellular’.
- 4. Histologically, tonsils do not contain a complete capsule, and the epithelial layer invaginates deeply into the interior of the tonsil to form tonsillar crypts.
- 5. A form of cancer in which masses of malignant T and/or B lymphocytes.
- 7. A killed or weakened pathogen or its components that, when administered to a healthy individual, leads to the development of immunological memory.
- 9. Enzymatic cascade of constitutive blood proteins that have antipathogen effects, including the direct killing of bacteria.
- 11. Secondary lymphoid organ that filters pathogens from the blood (white pulp) and removes degenerating or damaged blood cells (red pulp).
- 13. A firm, raised reddened patch of skin.
- 14. Precursor to macrophages and dendritic cells seen in the blood.
- 15. Molecule recognized by the receptors of b and t lymphocytes.
- 16. Primary lymphoidd organ, where t lymphocytes proliferate and mature.
- 17. Programmed cell death.
Down
- 1. Disease causing agents.
- 3. White blood cells characterized by a large nucleus and small rim of cytoplasm.
- 6. Vasoactive mediator in granules of mast cells and is the primary cause of allergies and anaphylactic shock.
- 8. Antigens that evoke type 1 hypersensitivity (allergy) responses.
- 9. Movement in response to chemicals; a phenomenon in which injured or infected cells and nearby leukocytes emit the equivalent of a chemical “911” call, attracting more leukocytes to the site.
- 10. A cancer involving an abundance of leukocytes.
- 12. Early induced proteins made in virally infected cells that cause nearby cells to make antiviral proteins.
