100
Function of antibodies?
Attach to foreign antigens and remove them from body
200

Acute inflammation
200
What tissues are a part of MALT?
Tonsils and Peyer’s Patches
200
What defense occurs in reaction to a specific antigen?
Specific body defenses
200

300
What is the function of tonsils?
Traps foreign bacteria in the throat
300
As a first defense, where can non-specific body defense be found?
Skin and mucous membranes
300
What immunity results from memory cells?
Active/Acquired immunity
300
What are antigens?
Any substance that is recognized by immune system and provokes immune response
400
How does opsonization enhance inflammatory response?
Makes foreign cell membranes “sticky” for phagocytosis
400
What are Peyer's patches?
Masses of lymphatic tissue located in small intestine
400
How does the mucous membrane protect the body from antigens?
Traps antigens
400
What is the function of cytotoxic T-cells?
Kills viruses that invade body cells including cancerous cells
400
What are pathogens?
Microorganisms that cause disease
500
How does chemotaxis chemicals enhance inflammatory response?
Attract neutrophils and macrophages into a region
500
What is the main function of MALT tissues?
Specific immunity, that initiates immune response to specific antigens
500
How do ciliated cells interact to help with defense?
Sweep foreign particles toward exterior to expel
500
How do T-cells interact with B-cells?
Release chemicals to activate B cells and humoral immunity
500
What are lymph nodes?
Small bean-shaped structure found in clumps that filters fluid and holds invaders back
