Nonspecific Defense
The types of pathogens this defense targets
What are all types?
The chemical that white blood cells identify cells by
What are antigens?
This is the part of the neuron that holds the nucleus
What is the cell body?
This is where sensory neurons send impulses
What is the brain?
Impulses must go through this part of the CNS before going to the brain
What is the spinal cord?
This acts as a barrier and also secrets chemicals for pathogen protection
What is the skin?
The two types of lymphocytes involved in specific defense
What are T cells and B cells?

What are dendrites?
This is the type of neuron that connects other neurons in the brain and spinal cord
What is an interneuron?
What is left and right hemispheres?
This causes redness, swelling, and warmth
What is inflammation?
This type of lymphocyte produces antibodies
What are B cells?
This is the part of a neuron that sends impulses to the next neuron
What are axons/branched extensions?
This is what PNS stands for
What is the peripheral nervous system?
This part of the brain controls your ability to move
What is the cerebellum?
What is swallowed/killed by stomach acid?
This type of lymphocyte are triggered by macrophages
What are T cells?
This is the gap between neurons
What is a synapse?
Motor neurons allow you to ________________ to a stimulus
What is respond?
This part of your brain connects to the top part of the spinal cord
What is the brain stem
This type of white blood cell is involved in inflammation
What is a macrophage?
This is the type of immunity you would get after encountering a flu, cold, etc.
What is active immunity?
This is what jumps the gap between neurons to send messages
What are chemicals?
This is the process that is triggered when you burn your hand on a hot stove
What is a reflex arc?
This part of the brain helps with decision making
What is the cerebrum?
