Pathogens
Most of these unicellular potential pathogens are harmless and essential for the existence of life
What are bacteria?
This is the largest organ that prevents entry of pathogens.
What is skin?
Immune cells which mature in the bone marrow are given which name?
In which organ do t-lymphocytes mature?
Antibiotics are effective against which type of pathogen?
Bacteria
Malaria is an example of this type of pathogen.
What is a protist?
This is the scientific name for white blood cells.
What are leucocytes?
Plasma B-cells produce these proteins that target specific antigens
What are antibodies?
These T lymphocytes stimulate the production of antibodies
What are helper t cells?
Penicillin targets bacteria by disrupting the synthesis of what?
What is the cell wall?
This pathogen usually affects the skin and reproduces through spores.
What is fungi?
This cells name literally means 'big eater'
What is a macrophage?

The structure of this pathogen is a protein coat surrounding a nucleic acid.
What is a virus?
Basophils and mast cells produce this chemical that redirects blood flow to injured and infected areas.
What is histamine?
These cells persist long after an antigen has been removed or destroyed.
What are memory b cells?
Damage to this protein on a cell may trigger a cell-mediated response.
What is the MHC?
These vaccines contain live pathogens.
What are attenuated vaccines?
This pathogen is a non-living molecule that induces abnormal protein folding.
What is a prion?
These molecules are released when tissue is damaged and stimulate basophils and mast cells.
Cytokines
The process which causes foreign matter to stick together is called what?
Soluble proteins released by t-lymphocytes are given which name?
What are lymphokines?
These vaccines work by instructing the cell to produce a specific protein typically found on the surface of a virus.
