Jordan receives the flu vaccine. Describe how the vaccine works to give him immunity over the strain of flu that is present that year.
The doctor is going to give you a bit of the flu virus. The white blood cells in your body will create antibodies to defend your body against the flu virus. You do not get very sick because it is only a small amount of the virus, but it is enough to have the antibodies should you get it in a large quantity in the future.

The main gas is C02

What are the lymphatic vessels and how can cells move between the lymphatic system and the circulatory system?
Lymphatic vessels are not an artery or a vein but operate in a similar way to move lymph through the body. There are 2 subclavian veins that connect the lymphatic vessels to the circulatory system. There are also lymphatic capillaries that allow transfer of fluid into the blood capillaries.

Describe how Kidneys filter the blood. In your answer include the following terms: Ureter, Blood, Nephron, Kidney, Bladder.
Blood travels into the kidney, where it enters the nephrons of the kidney. This filters the blood, and the unwanted waste travels to the ureter and eventually the bladder. The clean blood goes back into your circulatory system.

Draw a picture of an antibody binding with an antigen.

What are lymph nodes and what are 2 key functions they have in the defense of your body?
Lymph nodes are small bumps in the lymphatic circulation where white blood cells are created and stored. The lymph nodes act as filters for foreign particles and cancer cells.

Draw an image of your urinary system, labeling all 6 main parts.

What are the two main ways that your body can acquire specific immunity for an antigen?
You can get sick and your white bloods cells will remember how to make the antibodies for that sickness. You can also receive a vaccine of weakened or dead antigens which allow your body to create the antibodies and remember how to do so.
