What is an immune mechanism that learns to deal with specific invaders?
What is Adaptive Immune Response.
What is a transmission mechanism in which the infectious agent is spread as an aerosol and usually enters a person through the respiratory tract.
Airborne Transmission
What is a substance produced by a B lymphocyte in response to a unique antigen, which it can then combine with to destroy or control it.
What is antibodies.
What is a semipermeable phospholipid bilayer that seperates the interior of cells from the outside environment and controls movement into and out of the cell.
What is cell membrane.
What is a sheath or continuous enclosure around an organ or structure.
What is threadlike sturctures that provide motility for certain bacteria, protozoa, and spermatozoa.
What is flagella.
What is threadlike projections from the free surface of certain epithelial cells used to propel or sweep materials across a surface.
What is a disease caused by microbes, especially those that release toxins or invade body tissues.
What is infection.
What is a linear strand made of DNA that carries genetic information (genes).
What is a vector that is essential in the life cycle of a pathogenic organism.
What is biological vector.
What is a mixture of bacteria normally found at specific body sites.
What is normal flora.
What is the sturcture within a cell that contains the chromosomes and is responsible for the cell's metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
What is nucleus.
What is a group of immunocompetent cells that mediate cellular immune response by engulfing, processing, and presenting antigens to the T-Cell receptor. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include macrophages, dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, and B lymphocytes.
What is antigen-presenting cells.
What is any member of the kingdom Protista; organims that incloude the protozoa, unicellular and multicellular algae, and the slime molds.
What is protists.
What is a compartment made when cells ingest extracellular material and its contents by invaginating the cell membrane and pinching off.
What is pinocytic vesicles.
What is a microbe capable of producing a disease.
What is pathogen.
What is a lipopolysaccharide that is part of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria released after the cell's death.
What is endotoxins.
What is a type of white blood cell that matures in the thymus, contains a T-Cell receptor, and plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity.
What is a t-cells.
What is a white blood cell that can ingest and destroy microbes, cell debris, and other particles in the blood or tissues.
What is phagocyte.
What is a cell produced by fungi for reproduction; a resistant cell roduced by bacteria to withstand extreme heat or cold or dehydration.
What is spores.
What is transmitting a pathogenic microbe from an infected individual to another individual by an arthropod or other agent, sometimes with other animals serving as intermediary hosts.
Vector Borne
What is a spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell made of DNA, RNA, and protein; the site of synthesis of rRNA.
What is nucleolus.
What is cell organelles of rod or oval shape that contain the enzymes for the aerobic stages of cell respiration and are the site of most ATP synthesis.
What is granular white blood cells responsible for much of the body's protection against infection; they play a primary role in inflammation and are readily attracted to foreign antigens, destroying them by phagocytosis.
What is neutrophils.
What is a type of lymphocyte, developed in bone marrow, that circulates in the blood and lymph and, upon encountering a particular foreign antigen, differentiates into a clone of plasma cells that secrete a specific antibody and a clone of memory cells that make the antibody on subsequent encounters.
What is B-Cells.
