Across
- 3. Phagocytic cells, natural killer cells, antimicrobial proteins, inflammatory response
- 6. Is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by substances released by macrophages
- 8. Recognition of traits shared by broad ranges of pathogens, using a small set of receptors
- 10. Agents that have potential to cause disease
- 11. Circulate through the body and detect abnormal cells
- 13. Skin, mucous membranes, secretion
- 15. Discharge destructive enzymes
Down
- 1. Provide innate defense, interfering with viruses and helping activate macrophages
- 2. Stimulate development of adaptive immunity in cells that contact the environment (such as skin)
- 4. Circulate within hemolymph and carry out phagocytosis
- 5. Circulate in the blood and are attracted by signals from infected tissues
- 7. Consists of about 30 proteins that are activated by substances on microbe surfaces
- 9. Recognition of traits specific to particular pathogens, using a vast array of receptors
- 12. Are found throughout the body, agranulocytes
- 14. Is a life-threatening condition caused by an overwhelming inflammatory response
