  1. 2. cells that stimulate development of adaptive immunity in cells that contact the environment (such as skin).
  2. 4. Pattern Recognition Receptors
  3. 5. binds to fragments of molecules characteristic to a set of pathogens.
  4. 8. immunity is an immediate response to infections
  5. 10. traps and allows for the removal of microbes
  6. 13. a fluid rich in white blood cells, dead pathogens, and cell debris from damaged tissues
  7. 14. agents that have potential to cause disease
  8. 15. defenses include the skin and mucous membranes
  9. 16. provide innate defense, interfering with viruses and helping activate macrophages

  1. 1. agranulocytes (a type of leukocyte/white blood cell
  2. 3. system consists of about 30 proteins that are activated by substances on microbe surfaces
  3. 6. response, such as pain and swelling, is brought about by molecules released upon injury of infection.
  4. 7. also release antimicrobial peptides that disrupt the plasma membranes of fungi and bacteria.
  5. 9. discharge destructive enzymes
  6. 11. innate defenses in vertebrates also involve natural killer cells (NK cells), a type of lymphocyte.
  7. 12. circulate in the blood and are attracted by signals from infected tissues.
