Lymphoid System
Liquid that passes through the lymphatic system carrying white blood cells and debris
lymph
there are_types of lymphocytes
3 (T cells,B cells,Natural killer Cells)
_ types of Monocytes
2(Macrophages,Dendritic Cells)
swelling caused by an injury or infection
Inflammation
how many types of immunity
2(innate,adaptive)
Special "Stations" where your white blood cells check for signs of infection or stress and communicate with other white blood cells
Lymph node
Function of B cells
Produce Antibodies to fight infection
Monocytes are
the largest immune cells in the body
There are _Classifications of White blood Cells
9 types(Neutrophils,,Macrophages,Natural Killer Cells,Mast Cells,Basophils,Eosinophils(innate immune system)Dendritic Cells(Adaptive immune system),T Cells,B Cells.)
First line of defense intial response to an invasion of the body
Innate Immunity
average number of Lymph nodes in the human body
600 to 800
function of Natural Killer Cells
killing infected cells to prevent spread of pathogens
Macrophages function as
The Janitors of the body fighting infection and cleaning up the battlefield afterwards
White Blood Cells a.k.a
Leukocytes
Specialized second tier of Defense, remembers invaders for better response next invasion
Adaptive immunity
Immune cells that inhabit lymph nodes are called
Lymphocytes
Function of T cells
immune special forces, attack specific pathogens with incredible efficiency, helps the body repair after cellular warfare.
Dendritic Cells are
the messenger of the immune system(main antigen presenting Cells of the immune system alert T Cells to what kind of invader is infecting the body.)
signal Proteins used to alert other immune cells
Cytokines
Antibody responsible for allergies
IgE, (primary function to fight Worms but due to proper sanitation leading to less parasite infections targets harmless substances. Primes Mast Cells to release Histamines Causing Allergic Reactions. Which lead to basophils and eosinophils to continue the reaction which can lead to anaphylaxis an possibly death)
average Flow rate of lymph
The 3 subclassifications of T cells
Helper,Cytotoxic,Supressor
MALT Cells are a type of Immune Cell
True or False
False
The Complement System is
Specialized attack proteins that are dormant till activated by a special chain reaction, disable pathogens receptors and cell membranes
The Five types of Antibodies are
IgM,IgG,IgA,IgE,IgD
