  3. 7. signaling B cells to participate in immune responses and potentially regulating immune response
  4. 10. blood cell makers
  5. 11. protecting the body's mucous membranes from microbial invasion and maintaining immune homeostasis.
  6. 12. Filter plasma and provides immune cells at major areas like armpits, groin, and neck
  7. 14. produced by lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and macrophages
  8. 15. network of connective tissue to support cells of the body
  9. 16. plays a crucial role in the initial immune response by activating the complement system and facilitating pathogen neutralization and clearance.
  10. 17. Product of T cells
  11. 19. stimulates release of histamines and has a role in allergic reactions
  12. 23. Survey tissue and find microbes, particulate, and injured or dead cells

  14. 28. act as signals to the immune system, alerting it to the presence of pathogens and initiating an immune response.
  15. 29. binds to specific pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and toxins
  16. 30. Injection of immune serum
  17. 31. inflammations signals cause cells to migrate to the area
  18. 36. Immunity directed against a particular pathogen
  19. 38. special receptors that are able to identify and stick to foreign cells
  20. 39. All purpose phagocytic cells and a primary component of pus
  21. 40. deliver medication directly into a muscle, allowing for rapid absorption and are used for vaccines
  22. 41. engaging in phagocytosis and antigen presentation
  23. 42. Filters red blood cells and removes old red blood cells from circulation
Down
  1. 1. cell membranes
  2. 2. movement of white blood cells from the blood into tissue
  3. 4. Substance that prompts the generation of antibodies and triggers an immune response
  4. 6. made up of waterproof cells full of kerotin, constantly sloughed off
  5. 7. Key signs of redness, warmth, and swelling
  6. 8. Antibodies pass from mother to fetus via placenta
  7. 9. defense against microbial, immune regulation and communication between cells
  8. 13. mucous covering prevents bacteria from attaching
  9. 18. Vaccine; dead or attenuated pathogens
  10. 20. when re-exposed to the same pathogen, the body reacts so quickly that there is noticeable illness
  11. 21. enhances inflammation and phagocytosis to eat dead or weak antigens
  12. 22. The B cell is going to divide many types because there are thousands of the similar receptor shaped organisms

  17. 33. Has some benefits than just negatives such as increasing metabolism, stimulates immune response, and speeds up other immune reactions
  18. 34. Serves as a way to mark cells as self so they are safe from destruction by our immune system
  19. 35. A type of white blood cell that plays a key role in fighting infections and repairing tissue damage
  20. 37. initiating and regulating inflammation, pathogen clearance, and immune cell recruitment.
