The Space Between
Plasma that leaks out of capillaries is now known as this.
What is interstitial fluid?
These capsule covered tissues are in line with the lymphatic vessels.
What are lymph nodes?
T-cells are made here.
What is the red bone marrow?
This type of cell matures in the bone marrow.
What is a B-cell?
This part of your immune system includes the skin and mucous membranes.
What are external barriers?
This clear oily fluid is carried through a specialized system that nearly parallels the circulatory system.
What is lymph?
This lymphatic organ also has an important job in the circulatory system. It also acts as a blood reserve.
What is the spleen?
This is the target of the cell mediated response?
What are infected cells?
Naive B-cells are activated by this.
What are antigens?
A mother breastfeeding passes antibodies to the child. This is an example of this type of immunity.
What is natural passive immunity?
10-15% of interstitial fluid is circulated here.
What is the lymphatic system?
Also acceptable "What are lymphatic ducts/vessels?"
This is the site of T-cell maturation.
What is the thymus?
This type of helper protein is released by effector T-cells to increase the immune response and activate Cytotoxic T-cells
What are cytokines?
This type of cell is responsible for forming a strong secondary humoral response.
What is a memory B-cell?
You generate antibodies due to fighting off a cold. B and T memory cells are formed. This is an example of this type of immunity.
What is natural active immunity?
This would be the type of cell activated if pathogens were being addressed by the acquired immune system in the interstitial space.
What are B-cells?
These lymphatic tissues are often associated with mucous membranes. They have no capsule.
What are lymph nodules?
MHC-II is found on this classification of cells.
What are antigen presenting cells?
Also acceptable: "What are APCs?"
This is the rate at which a plasma B-cell can secrete antibodies.
What is 2000 per second?
This cell causes dilation (widening) of the blood cells during inflammation.
What are basophils?
or
What are mast cells?
This is the approximate volume of plasma that is pushed into the interstitial space on a daily basis in the human body.
What is 20 Liters?
This lymphatic tissue is found in the small intestine and helps to eliminate unwanted bacteria in food.
What are Peyer's patches?
This protein is found on T-helper cells to receive antigens from APCs. It is also a mechanism for HIV to enter this type of cell.
What is CD-4?
This term means the clumping of antibodies around a pathogen.
What is agglutination?
The acronym NSAID stands for this.
What is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug?
