Across
- 2. Catches and kills foreign substances like bacteria, while identifying antigens and information on immune responses. They also act as cleaners who remove debris, such as dead cells and bacteria.
- 5. Destroys foreign substances that infiltrate the body, such as bacteria and viruses. Neutrophils make up more than half of all white blood cells in the body.
- 6. A blanket term for bacteria that produce lactic acid in the course of breaking down sugars to live.
- 7. An ordinary cell, whose job is to make sure that the cell cycle is progressing normally.
- 9. Cells that proliferate wildly due to genetic abnormalities. Invading the boundaries between themselves and surrounding normal cells, they propagate endlessly.
- 10. Prevents T Cells from spinning out of control and suppresses excessive immune responses.
- 11. Patrols the entire body, attacking as soon as they spot cancerous cells or virus-infected cells.
Down
- 1. Specialized blood components that assemble wherever a blood vessel is damaged. Their job is to block any rupture in the skin or blood vessels and stop the bleeding. Platelets are much smaller than the other cells.
- 3. Transports oxygen throughout the body and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs via the circulatory system.
- 4. Professional killers capable of identifying and destroying foreign substances like virus-infected cells and cancerous cells. Deployed on the orders of a Helper T Cell. Some become Memory T Cells, remaining prepared to attack familiar enemies when they reappear.
- 8. Their role is to present bacteria that have invaded the body and fragments of virus-infected cells as antigens to notify other immune system cells. As their name implies, they feature a dendritic form.
