| 6325138564 | Inflammatory Response | Vasodilation, phagocytosis, and increase in body temperature |  | 0 |
| 6325138565 | Histamines | chemical signals that trigger vasodilation, increasing blood supply to area and cause inflammation. | 1 | |
| 6325138566 | Phagocytes | White blood cells that engulf invading pathogens e.g., neutrophils, macrophages | 2 | |
| 6325138567 | Cytokine | chemical signals secreted by blood vessel cells that attract more white blood cells (phagocytes) to the area | 3 | |
| 6325138568 | Specific immunity | B and T cells; humoral and cell-mediated response | 4 | |
| 6325138569 | Lymphocyte | White blood cell in which B and T cells belong |  | 5 |
| 6325138570 | B Cells | Humoral response by producing antibodies; activated by T cells or free antigens | 6 | |
| 6325138571 | T Cells | Cell-mediated response, stimulating by APCs (antigen presenting cells) | 7 | |
| 6325138572 | Helper T Cell | Set off an alarm to the immune system that pathogens have broken through the body's line of defense; binds to class II MHC |  | 8 |
| 6325138573 | Cytotoxic T Cell | Kills body cells that have been infected with pathogens; stimulated by antigens and helper T-cells |  | 9 |
| 6325138574 | Macrophages | APC that engulfs large numbers of pathogens; presents antigen to activate T cells |  | 10 |
| 6325138575 | Interleukin 1 | Chemokine/cytokine secreted by a macrophage after it engulfs and presents antigens on its surface; activates helper T cells | 11 | |
| 6325138576 | Interleukin 2 | Chemokine that stimulates B cells to become active antibody-secreting plasma cells; released by helper T cell | 12 | |
| 6325138577 | MHC I | molecules found on every body cell that presents antigen; signals cytotoxic T to destroy | 13 | |
| 6325138578 | MHC II | molecules found on macrophages, B cells, and activated T cells; signal helper T cells | 14 | |
| 6325138579 | Memory Cells | Responsible for lifelong immunity by storing copy B and T cells to more quickly fight secondary infection |  | 15 |
| 6325138580 | Antibody | Y-shaped protein with variable antigen bind region; slows pathogens to facilitate destruction |  | 16 |
| 6325138581 | Antigen | Identifying marker on the outside of a pathogen |  | 17 |
| 6325138582 | Passive Immunity | Temporary immunity where antibodies are transferred from another animal ex: mother transfers some of her antibodies to her nursing child | 18 | |
| 6325138583 | HIV | A retrovirus that attacks helper T cells |  | 19 |
| 6325138584 | Autoimmune disease | A mistake in the immune system where the body does not properly distinguish self from nonself | 20 | |
| 6325138585 | Allergy | Hypersensitive immune response to certain substances that causes that release of histamine | 21 | |
| 6325138586 | Dendritic Cells | During primary immune responses, the principle antigen-presenting cells in the lymph nodes | 22 | |
| 6325138587 | Innate Immunity | General, non-specific protection to the body, including the skin (barrier), gastric acid, phagocytes, and lysozyme. | 23 | |
| 6325138588 | Effector Cell | Short-lived lymphocyte such as a B cell or cytotoxic T lymphocyte that can take immediate action against an antigen. | 24 | |
| 6325138589 | Natural Killer Cells | A type of white blood cell that can kill tumor cells and virus-infected cells; an important component of innate immunity. | 25 | |
| 6325138590 | Mast Cells | Cells that release chemicals (such as histamine) that promote inflammation. | 26 | |
| 6325138591 | Humoral Response | The branch of acquired immunity that involves the activation of B cells and that leads to the production of antibodies, which defend against bacteria and viruses in body fluids. | 27 | |
| 6325138592 | Cell-mediated Response | The branch of acquired immunity that involves the activation of cytotoxic T cells, which defend against infected cells. | 28 | |
| 6325138593 | Neutrophils | The most abundant type of white blood cell. Phagocytic and tend to self-destruct as they destroy foreign invaders, limiting their lifespan to a few days. (aka: Pus) | 29 |
