What type of cell is a T cell?
WBC!
What is an autoimmune disorder?
a condition where the body's immune system does not recognize "self" and therefore attacks it
What is the name of the fluid that circulates in the lymphatic vessels?

Where do B cells mature?
Bonus: Where were they named?
Bone marrow
Bursa of Fabricius in chickens
What does a macrophage do?
Bonus: what is pinocytosis?
EEEEAAAAATTTTT foreign pathogens (phagocytosis)
cell drinking
What does a regulatory T cell do?
keeps the appropriate immune cell activity level, disposes of old and/or improperly functioning cells
What does the acronym AIDS stand for?
Bonus: What causes it?
Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
Where does lymph take foreign pathogens?
To lymphoid organs/tissues to be filtered and recycled
What do memory B cells do?
remember certain pathogens to be able to have our bodies respond more quickly and efficiently upon another exposure
What is a complement?
a protein found in blood that works with antibodies to respond to foreign antigens
List the types of T cells.
Regulatory (suppressor), cytotoxic, memory, helper, NK

Bonus: what is the disorder called?
Leakage of lymph from skin, comressed vessels, painful and stiff joints, swollen appendages

I couldn't think of another question so to get these points you must give your best impression of a type of T cell or B cell, and have the class guess which one you are (Hint: remember the cartoons!)
Yay!
Differentiate between inborn and adaptive immunity.
Inborn is inherited and you are born with it. Acquired is developed after exposure to a pathogen.
What does a Helper T Cell do?
meets up with macrophages to further stimulate phagocytosis and recruit more WBCs to the area
Compare/Contrast allergy and anaphylaxis.
An allergy can be mild and present in the form of itching, redness, tears, sneezing, etc. but if sever enough can trigger anaphylaxis where the airway constricts and blood vessels dilate which results in a plummeting blood pressure.
What are the functions of the lymphatic system?
regulate fluid balance, process of immunity
Compare/Contrast B cells and T cells.
B cells are good for things outside of the cell, T cells are good for recognizes infected cells
List the chain of infection AND give an example of each.
pathogen, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, susceptible host
Yersinia pestis, flea/rat, feces/bit, touch/saliva, any orifice, people
I know this isn't a T cell questions, BUT which cells are like Spider-Man?
neutrophils!
What is the key difference between Hodgkin's lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma? What does it look like?
Reed-sternberg cells present in Hodgkin's lymphoma
RS cells have 2 nuclei.
