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 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
