Across
- 2. white blood cell, a phagocyte that releases enzymes against parasitic worms, attack and digest the parasite in parts
- 5. a strong antimicrobial defense system consisting of approximately 30 proteins that work by making pores in the microbe's membranes
- 8. involves pain, redness, swelling, and heat; when body tissue is damaged, chemicals are released in this local defense response so the host can defend against the pathogen and repair the tissue
- 11. proteins that are made by immune cells and act as messengers for the immune system
Down
- 1. most common white blood cell but short-lived, kill microbes by phagocytosis or by releasing destructive enzymes that damage both pathogen and self
- 3. a chemical trail that is left for phagocytes & immune cells to follow to reach site of infection of damage
- 4. main function is to become an APC and initiate the adaptive response
- 6. pathogen is coated in opsonins, which enhance phagocytosis
- 7. pro-inflammatory chemical that causes vasodilation in local arterioles, released by mast cells and basophils
- 9. lymphocyte of the innate system, kill sick/infected or old host cells
- 10. white blood cell that releases histamine during inflammation
