What can the immune system do?
distinguish between different kinds of pathogens
100
What does a person acquire when their own immune system produces antibodies in response to the presense of a pathogen

200
what are the molecules that the immune system recognizes either as part of your body or coming from outside the body?

500
Describe how the immune system works. There are four steps
1: The T Cells recognie a virus 2: Some T cells attack 3: Other T Cells activate/call the B Cells 4: Antibodies destroy the pathogens other words: the infantry will target the enemy, some will start the attack but they need help, so they call on for more help which would be an allie, after the help the allies will then drop the bomb on the targeted enemy
500
Describe how the vaccination process works.
A person recieves the vaccination The immune system produces antibodies against the disease and develops memory cells If someone comes into contact with the "real" pathogen, the immune system will destroy it before people get sick
500

500
If we want to reduce the risk of cancer what needs to happen?
carcinogens need to be removed or people need to be protected from them
