Answer One of the first lines of defense; it releases sweat, oils and waxes
Answer These large white blood cells are front line defenders which attack pathogen infected cells, though they often take out surrounding cells in the process
Answer Eukaryotic pathogens that invade a host
Answer Response that involves Helper T-cells and Killer T-cells
Answer Pathogen protein molecule that triggers an immune response
Daily Double How much do you wish to wager?
Daily Double Answer The white blood cells responsible for engulfing pathogens and releasing IL-1
Answer The protein released by macrophages (also causes aches, pains, chills, fever and headaches)
Answer Lymphocytes (WBCs) which bind to specific antigens displayed on macrophage cell surface
Answer Stimulates division of Helper T-cells and B-cells and activates Killer T-cells
Answer Macrophages and white blood cells capable of engulfing pathogens are known as this type of cell
Answer Response that involves B-cells, antibodies, and memory B-cells
Answer This first line of defense lines the mouth and nasal passages; it secretes mucus, which traps pathogens and contains enzymes that break down microorganisms
Answer Protein markers on body cells that allow immune cells to recognize that cell as its own cell (and not a foreign invader)
Answer Contains an inactivated or weakened pathogen to evoke a primary immune response and create memory cells
Answer Destroy infected body cells in the cell mediated response by injecting toxins
Answer These proteins bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens to inactivate them
Answer These cells produce antibodies
Answer These cells help provide quicker secondary immune response to future infections
Answer The immune system responding to what is normally a harmless antigen
Answer This class of disease is caused from the immune system mistakenly attacking the body’s own cells
Answer Immune response is most closely associated with the function of this body system of vessels and organs
Answer This second line defense response causes greater blood flow to a damaged area of the body
Answer Interleukin can cause a fever by resetting the body’s thermostat located in this part of the brain
Answer T-cells are produced in the bone marrow and mature in this organ
Answer T-cells and B-cells are known as this type of white blood cell
