Immune system

2. Type of adaptive immune response that relies on B cells which detects antigens and pathogens in blood
3. messenger proteins such as interleukins and interferons
6. Innate immune response resulting in change of hypothalamic set point
7. Least numerous WBC; release histamines and heparin (like mast cells)
9. Type of humoral immunity in which the body is provided (does not produce its own) antibodies
11. Molecule that triggers production of antibodies
12. Compound released by basophils and mast cells that causes vasodilation
15. Type of immunity we are born with; non-specific and acts immediately
17. Type of humoral immunity in which body produces its own antibodies

1. Types of WBC's involved in adaptive immune response
4. Immediate and localized innate immune response to pathogens that breach external defenses
5. (Two words); relies on cytotoxic T cells that attack infected cells
8. Compounds released by basophils and mast cells that prevents blood clotting
10. Produced by plasma cells (from B cells); respond to specific antigen
13. Phagocytic WBC's that are antigen-presenters (like dendritic cells)
14. Type of T cell that respond/bind to antigen-presenting cells and undergo clonal selection to initiate adaptive response
16. Most numerous WBC; phagocytes
17. Type of immunity that relies on prior exposure and immunological memory
