Types of Immunity
When the body receives antibodies without getting sick OR through vaccinations. (Think mothers)
What is passive immunity?
Where T cells mature.
What is the thymus?
Engulfs pathogens.
What is a macrophage?
Name the three organs of the Lymphatic system.
What are lymph nodes/vessels, spleen, thymus, red bone marrow, tonsils/adenoids, appendix/peyer's patches?
The immune system attacking our body is an example of what type of problem?
What is an Autoimmune disorder?
What type of immunity is produced from a vaccine?
Acquired active immunity
The two types of cells created when a B cell becomes activated by a helper T cell are
What are plasma and memory B cells?
An allergic reaction has more types of this WBC.
What are basophils?
This structure contains lymph and aids in its transportation throughout our bodies.
What are lymph vessels?
Allergy symptoms include:
What are sneezing, coughing, swelling, hives, itchiness, drop in BP, anaphylactic shock, and death?
How does someone get naturally acquired passive immunity?
A fetus receives this from its mother in the womb or through breast milk.
Our bodies can actively target and destroy specific pathogens, but there are also ways that we can prevent them from entering the body in the first place. This primary structure prevents pathogens from entering the body.
What is the skin?
Helper T cells activate this cell to produce antibodies.
What are B cells?
The tonsils and adenoids do this.
What is filter and clean our oral and nasal cavities?
How does leukemia affect our immune response?
It prevents our bone marrow from creating RBCs, WBCs, and stem cells.
This active immune response occurs in the blood in response to your body detecting pathogens.
What is Antibody (Humoral) Immunity?
Memory cells remember previously encountered antigens, while this cell attacks pathogens using the chemical perforin.
What are killer T cells?
These three WBCs are a type of phagocyte. They eat pathogens!
What are neutrophils, macrophages, and monocytes?
Lymph moves through our body by what two actions?
What are gravity and skeletal muscle movement?
Why is HIV dangerous?
It attacks helper T cells, which prevents our bodies from responding to infections.
The process where helper T cells identify cells that are infected, call over other T cells, and destroy the infected cell.
What is cell mediated immune response?
Cell mediated immune response occurs in infected cells, this other response occurs in this other part of the body.
What is antibody (humoral) immunity and it occurs in the blood?
Name a type of WBC that is used in both nonspecific and specific defense.
What are phagocytes?
Lymph fluid is finally deposited back into the bloodstream in this structure.
What is the subclavian vein?
AIDS is what type of pathogen?
It's not a pathogen, it is a disorder caused by HIV.
