Across
  1. 3. transmissible pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites (IA)
  2. 5. a person likely to get an infection or disease, usually because body defenses are weak (SH)
  3. 7. When exposed to an allergen, the individual has episodes of wheezing to do a bronchospasm, tighening of the airways and dangerous restriction in breathing (A)
  4. 9. Acquired immunity that involves the activation of B cells and that leads to the production of antibodies, which target and destroy specific bacteria or viruses (HF)
  5. 12. white blood cells that fight infection; 5 Major types (L)
  6. 13. when the immune response is compromised (weakened), resulting in the inability to protect the individual against disease (I)
  7. 14. Responds to an antigen more strongly when the body is infected a second time; Stronger immune response than during its first encounter with the antigen (MBC)
  8. 15. A protein released by B-cell lymphocytes that target and destroy specific pathogens, usually beginning recovery from the illness (A)
  9. 16. places where pathogens leave the body: respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, broken skin (POE)
  10. 17. cytokines (proteins) secreted by T cells and other cells to aid and regulate the immune response; Interfere with viral replication within cells (I)
Down
  1. 1. A disorder in which the immune system is gradually weakened and eventually disabled by the human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS)
  2. 2. a severe response to an allergen in which the symptoms develop quickly, and without help, the patient can die within a few minutes for suffocation (A)
  3. 4. sites where pathogens are maintained as a source of infection (RH)
  4. 6. characteristic route a pathogen follows to enter the tissues of the body: mouth, nose, eyes, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, broken skin (POE)
  5. 8. contact (direct or indirect) droplet, bodily fluids such as blood, airborne mucous (sneezing), common vehicle, insect vector (T)
  6. 10. Released by mast cells to trigger blood vessel dilation and increased permeability of capillaries, allowing immune cells to move to the site of infection (H)
  7. 11. Anticoagulant protein that prevents blood from becoming solid while inside of a blood vessel (H)
