| 10421295416 | Inflammatory Response | Triggered by damage to tissue by physical injury or the entry of pathogens. Leads to the release of chemical signals including histamines. |  | 0 |
| 10421295418 | Phagocytes | White blood cells that engulf invading pathogens | 1 | |
| 10421295420 | B Cells | Cells in charge of the humoral immune response, which are responsible for producing antibodies. | 2 | |
| 10421295421 | T Cells | Cells in charge of the cell-mediated response, which target antigen presenting cells for death | 3 | |
| 10421295422 | Helper T-Cell | Activate the adaptive immune response by activating B-cells and T-cells |  | 4 |
| 10421295423 | Cytotoxic T-Cell | Kills body cells that have been infected with pathogens; stimulated by fragments of antigens displayed on the surface of infected body cells. |  | 5 |
| 10421295425 | Antibody | Y-shaped protein produced by B cells that binds to a specific antigen |  | 6 |
| 10421295428 | HIV | A retrovirus that attacks helper T cells, weakening the immune response |  | 7 |
| 10421295429 | Autoimmune disease | A mistake in the immune system where the body produces antibodies against its own cells. | 8 | |
| 10421295430 | Allergy | Hypersensitive immune response to non-pathogens, that causes that release of histamine | 9 | |
| 10421295431 | Humoral Response | Adaptive immunity that involves the activation of B cells and that leads to the production of antibodies. | 10 | |
| 10421295432 | Cell-mediated Response | Adaptive immunity that involves the activation of cytotoxic T cells, which defend against infected cells. | 11 | |
| 10421295437 | Plasma B-Cells | Cells that develop from B cells and produce antibodies. | 12 | |
| 10421295438 | Memory Cells | Long-living cells that are exposed to the antigen during the primary immune response. | 13 | |
| 10421295442 | Antigen presenting cell (APC) | A cell that is displaying an antigen, to let the body know there is an infection. Examples include infected cells and phagocytes. | 14 | |
| 10421295444 | Immunization | a non pathogenic form of a microbe of part of a microbe elicits an immune response, resulting in immunological memory for that microbe. Immunizations are vaccinations. | 15 | |
| 12669877682 | Apoptosis | The programmed death of a cell | 16 | |
| 12670024852 | Pathogen | A disease causing agent | 17 | |
| 12670027836 | Antigen | A protein that, when introduced in the blood, triggers the production of an antibody. | 18 | |
| 12670258629 | Innate Immunity | Internal and external responses and structures that help protect the body from all pathogens | 19 | |
| 12670278178 | Adaptive Immunity | Learned immune responses that fight specific pathogens. | 20 |
