- 2. Immunity is immunity that is developed during your lifetime. The body acquires immunity after the first exposure to an antigen through a 2-step process: primary response and secondary response.
- 5. Specific proteins produced in the humoral response to bind with an antigen
- 6. Immunity Is species-specific, decreasing the chance that a disease will spread from animals to humans.
- 8. White blood cells involved in cell-mediated immunity
- 9. Immunity Is gene-specific and related to ethnicity. also called nonspecific immunity. the body’s first, non-specific line of defense, present at birth and immediately active against pathogens without requiring prior exposure.
- 10. White blood cells that participate in allergic responses and defend against parasites
- 12. Cause vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and pain
- 13. factors Attract phagocytes to the area of inflammation
- 15. Includes lymphokines, monokines, interferons, and interleukins; produced by macrophages and activated T lymphocytes; stimulate activation and proliferation of B and T cells, communication between cells; involved in inflammation, fever, and leukocytosis
- 16. White blood cells that bind IgE and release histamine in anaphylaxis
- 19. Group of lipids with varying effects; some cause inflammation, vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and pain
- 21. Humoral immunity-activated cells that become antibody-producing plasma cells or B-memory cells
- 22. White blood cells for phagocytosis; nonspecific defense; active in the inflammatory process
Down
- 1. Phagocytosis; process and present antigens to lymphocytes for the immune response
- 3. Cells Release chemical mediators such as histamine in connective tissue
- 4. Released from mast cells and basophils, particularly in allergic reactions; causes vasodilation and increased vascular permeability or edema; also causes contraction of bronchiolar smooth muscle and pruritus
- 7. Foreign substances, microbes, or components of a cell that stimulate an immune response
- 11. Tissue and organs that contain many lymphocytes, filter body fluids, remove foreign matter, immune response
- 13. System A group of inactive proteins in the circulation that, when activated, stimulate the release of other chemical mediators, promoting inflammation, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis
- 14. Gland located in the mediastinum, large in children, decreasing in size in adults; site of maturation and proliferation of T-lymphocytes
- 17. Group of lipids, derived from mast cells and basophils, which cause contraction of bronchiolar smooth muscle and have a role in the development of inflammation
- 18. Marrow Source of stem cells, leukocytes, and maturation of B-lymphocytes
- 20. White blood cells that play a central role in the immune defense system
