I band The area near the edge of the sarcomere where there are only thin filaments.
ileumThe last of three sections of the small
intestine primarily involved in the absorption of nutrients and water.
imaginal diskAn island of undifferentiated cells in an
insect larva, which are committed (determined) to form a particular organ
during metamorphosis to the adult.
immune adherence
The collective action of antibodies, complement, and phagocytes. Microbes coated with antibodies and complement proteins adhere to blood vessel walls, making the pathogens easier prey for
phagocytic cells circulating in the blood.
immunizationAlso called vaccination, it is the exposure of
an organism to agents that can no longer cause disease but retain the ability to act as
antigens, thereby stimulating an immune response and immunological memory.
