Plasma cells are effector ______ that produce _______.

B cells; antibodies

______ help activate naive T cells.

Dendritic cells

The two main categories of T lymphocytes necessary to mount a response against foreign pathogens are cytotoxic T cells and _____ T cells.

Helper

T cells do what?

Interact with target cells and then cause changes in those cells

_____, which include B cells and T cells, are the primary cell type involved in the adaptive immune responses.

Lymphocytes

______ cells are responsible for the effectiveness of the secondary response.

Memory

A _____ cell provides the second signal confirming that an antigen-activated B cell needs to start proliferation and differentiation into a plasma cell.

T

Which of the following carries out cell-mediated immunity?

T cells

An antigen is a molecule capable of interacting with ______.

a B-cell receptor and an antibody molecule

The highly specific response of ______ immunity will protect an individual from one disease, but not a different illness caused by a different microbe.

adaptive

A plasma cell is ______.

an antibody-producing descendant of a B cell

Before a B cell undergoing antigen-induced activation can proliferate, it must usually get help from ______.

another type of lymphocyte--a helper T cell (TH).

The humoral immune response is delivered by ______.

antibodies

Y-shaped proteins that bind to specific antigens are called

antibodies

The term "antigen" is derived from the descriptive expression "_____ generator."

antibody

B cells do what?

antibody response

The main function of the lymphatic system is to allow _____ to interact with and activate lymphocytes.

antigens

Unlike innate immune responses, adaptive immune responses are dependent on first encountering foreign substances called

antigens

While there are several overall differences, there is one absolute and fundamental difference between innate and adaptive immune responses. That difference is that innate responses ______.

aren't capable of forming memory, while adaptive responses are

The lymphatic system's primary role is to _______.

bring antigens into contact with lymphocytes, allowing activation, proliferation, and differentiation of specific B and T cells into effector cells

Lymph is ______.

colorless fluid derived from tissue fluid

The cells that have the general role of interacting with target cells and then inducing changes in them are ______.

cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells

T cell activation requires _____ cells, which can be considered the scouts of the immune system.

dendritic

Humoral immunity is best at eliminating ______ antigens such as viruses in the bloodstream or tissue fluid, whereas cell-mediated immunity removes ______ antigens such as viruses within host cells.

extracellular; intracellular

Two types of T cells are involved with eliminating antigen. What are they?

helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells

The main "weapon" that a TC cell uses is ______.

induction of apoptosis

Cell-mediated immunity defends against ______.

invaders residing within the cell

Humoral immunity defends against ______.

invaders that are not within the cell

Lymphatic vessels carry ______ to the lymph nodes.

lymph, the extracellular fluid that might carry antigens into the lymph nodes

The primary cellular participants in the adaptive immune responses are

lymphocytes

A B cell in a lymph node is a(n) ______ type of lymphocyte, while a plasma cell is a fully ______ lymphocyte.

mature but naive; differentiated

Memory is an important trait of the adaptive immune processes. Which diseases below will generally only occur in an individual once, priming a protective adaptive immune response that will provide the person with lifelong immunity?

measles, mumps, and diphtheria

Cell-_____ immunity deals with microbial invaders residing within a host cell, such as a virus replicating inside a cell, whereas _____ immunity deals with invaders in the bloodstream and tissue fluids.

mediated; humoral

Both B and T cells can form _____ cells that react quickly if the same antigen is encountered at a later time.

memory

When a B cell receptor (BCR) binds antigen, and the naive B cell is activated by confirmation from a helper T cell, the B cell then begins to ______.

multiply

A secondary adaptive immune response ______.

occurs when an antigen that has already been encountered is encountered again

Differentiated B lymphocytes that produce antibodies are called _____ cells.

plasma

The first adaptive immune response to a particular antigen is called the _____ response.

primary

The primary adaptive immune response ______.

produces "memory" to be used later on in subsequent exposures

While the innate immune system responds to general molecular patterns associated with a variety of microbes, the adaptive response ______.

produces multiple, highly specific individual responses to small subcomponents of individual microbes

The main function of TH cells is ______.

production of cytokines that direct and support other immune system cells

When an antigen is encountered for a second time later in life, there is a ______ antigen-specific immune response called the ______ response.

stronger; secondary

Humoral immunity is generally used to eliminate extracellular antigens such as ______.

toxins, viruses in tissue fluids, and bacteria

A vaccine typically works by ______.

triggering development of a specific adaptive immune response; if the pathogen is encountered later, a memory response provides protection

The main outcome of B cell activation is ______.

triggering the cell to multiply

A prime example of the protective actions of cytotoxic T cells (TC cells) can be found in attacks against ______.

viruses replicating in a cell
