| 847891517 | This is a protein made by T cytotoxic cells that puts holes in the membrane of a pathogen, lysing (or destroying) it. | Perforin | 1 | |
| 847891518 | This immune cell is the "quarterback" of the immune system. | T helper cells | 2 | |
| 847891519 | When B cells become activated by encountering a specific antigen they become activated and form these cells that produce antibodies at a rate of 2,000 per second. | Plasma cells | 3 | |
| 847891520 | When B cells become activated by encountering a specific antigen they become activated and form these cells that can last decades or a lifetime. | Memory cells | 4 | |
| 847891521 | The strongest, fastest immune response. | Secondary response | 5 | |
| 847891522 | This response is the same no matter what the antigen or pathogen. | General or Innate Response | 6 | |
| 847891523 | T lymphocytes mature here | Thymus | 7 | |
| 847891524 | This is a term for something, like pollen or peanuts or shellfish, that triggers the immune response, though it is usually harmless to the Non-sensitive individual. | Antigen | 8 | |
| 847891525 | Can the binding alone of antibody to antigen possibly inactivate the antigen? | Yes, although there are many other ways also | 9 | |
| 847891526 | Inflammation is a general, non-specific defense by the body to rid itself of a pathogen: True or False? | True | 10 | |
| 849154671 | General, innate, non-specific immunity | A general defense against non self, i.e.: macrophages. These defenses are the same no matter if the pathogen has been encountered before or not. Innate defenses include the skin and mucus membranes that protect organ systems exposed to the outside. | 11 | |
| 849154672 | Specific immunity | Involves the body attacking nonself agents Is the bodies second line of defense Is activated when the innate defenses do not work. | 12 | |
| 849154673 | The structure of B lymphocytes with 100,000 antibodies on its surface and what happens when one of its antibodies meets the specific antigen in the tissue or a lymph node | It becomes activated, and clones and multiplies producing millions of plasma cells that produce specific antibodies against the antigen and memory cells also for the specific antigen | 13 | |
| 849154674 | How vaccines work | Inject a weakened or dead version of the virus or pathogen so immune system can build memory cells against it. | 14 | |
| 849154675 | An antigen | A foreign, (nonself) molecule that elicits an adaptive immune response | 15 | |
| 849154676 | An allergen | An antigen that causes an allergy | 16 | |
| 849154677 | An allergy | A disorder of the immune system caused by an abnormally high sensitivity to an antigen. Symptoms are triggered by histomines released from mast cells. | 17 | |
| 849203928 | Clonal selection | The production of a lineage of genetically identical cells that recognize and attack the specific antigen that stimulated their proliferation. The mechanism that underlies the immune system's specificity and memory of antigens. | 18 | |
| 849203929 | Natural killer cells | A cell type that provides an innate immune response by attacking cancer cells and infected body cells, especially those harboring viruses. | 19 | |
| 849203930 | The two types of cells formed once a B cell is activated by an encounter with a specific antigen | Antibody-producing plasma cells Memory cells | 20 | |
| 849225343 | These organelles are numerous in phagocytic cells like macrophages and neutrophils. They contain an acidic environment and hydrolytic enzymes for destruction and removal. | Lysosomes | 21 |
