Term
|
Definition
| The ____________ immune system creates immune responses targeted at specific disease-causing antigens. |
|
|
Term
| Humoral and Cell-medicated |
|
Definition
| Two types of specific immune responses are ____________ and ____________. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____________ are proteins created by B-lymphocytes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____________ are released into the blood stream when a particular antigen is present. Each is molecularly coded to attack one and only one antigen. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The ____________ immune response is the process in which antibodies produced by B-cells can destroy or deactivate an antigen without the presence of a B-cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The ____________ immune response is the process in which a cytotoxic, or Killer, T-cell must be bound to a harmful antigen to destroy it. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____________ are chemical messengers released when an infection is present. They regulate the body's immune system. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The ____________, a product of the non-specific immune system, is triggered when granuloctyes release histamine. Then blood flow is increased to the infected area and attracks other white cells to fight the infection. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| The inflammatory response, a product of the non-specific immune system, is triggered when granuloctyes release ____________. The inflammatory response increases blood flow to the infected area and attracts other white cells to fight the infection. |
|
|
Term
| Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) |
|
Definition
| The ____________ is a cluster of immunoglobulin molecules that distinguish cells of our body from those that are not. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____________ are proteins that aid the cells of our immune system in fighting off infections by specific antigens. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A ____________ is a killed or weakened form of a specific antigen injected into the body. These weakened antigens allow the body to mount a specific immune response without producing visible symptoms of the disease. This immune response gives us immunity to that specific antigen should we ever be exposed to it in the future. |

|
Definition
| A ____________ is an antibody-producing white cell of the specific immune system. Them and their antibodies are coded to bind with one and only one antigen. |
|
|
Term
| Helper T-cell or T-lymphocyte |
|
Definition
| A __________ is a white cell that controls the nature and extent of all our immune responses. |
|
|
Term
| cytotxic or Killer T-cell |
|
Definition
