Across
- 2. Chemicals that promote fever by acting on the hypothalamus
- 5. Tonsils become inflamed and abnormally large
- 8. Groups of lymphocytes and macrophages that provide immune protection
- 10. Watery liquid formed from interstitial fluid and found in lymph vessels
- 13. A buildup of excess interstitial fluid in the tissues, which leads to swelling
- 15. Location where rapid mitosis of lymphocytes takes place in response to foreign invaders
- 16. Porous blind beginnings of lymphatic vessels
- 18. Scattered lymphocytes, macrophages and other cells found deep to mucous membranes
- 21. Second line of of innate defense, that results in an increased blood flow to an injury
- 24. Information containing unit of either DNA or RNA that is wrapped in its own protein coat but not its own cellular machinery
- 26. Innate immunity
- 27. An immune response targeted at a specific pathogen or toxin after exposure
- 29. Acquired immunity provided by antibodies in the blood plasma
- 30. Harmful chemicals that are foreign to the body, not chemicals, viruses, or cancer
Down
- 1. Proteins secreted by cells infected with a virus, These proteins do not save the infected cell, but they stimulate nearby cells to strengthen themselves against a viral invasion
- 3. A series of about 30 plasma proteins activated by foreign cells or antibodies to those cells. They lyse bacteria, promote phagocytosis and promote inflammation
- 4. Originate in the red bone marrow, but mature in the thymus gland
- 6. Lymphatic tissue arranged into compact, somewhat spherical structures, but without a capsule
- 7. Acquired immunity provided by T lymphocytes
- 9. The process by which the body protects itself from pathogenic invaders such as bacteria, fungi, parasites and foreign substances
- 11. Harmless bacteria that do you no damage and can even benefit you, can give you sinus infections and infected cuts
- 12. Tropical disease in which the legs swell and become huge because of edema
- 14. A type of immunity that is not good in which the body can not differentiate between the MCH of it's own cells and that of others
- 17. Lymphocytes that attack tumor cells and virus-infected cells
- 19. First line of innate immunity an example would be bacteria that live in your large intestine that produce Vitamin K
- 20. Acquired immunity
- 22. Concentration of lymphatic tissue without a connective tissue capsule
- 23. An immune response that is the same regardless of the pathogen or toxin encountered
- 25. Our own cells that have been genetically damaged and can no longer control their function, they perform uncomtrolled mitosis
- 28. Encapsulated masses of lymphatic tissue found along lymph vessels
