Cell that produces huge numbers of the same antibody (immunoglobulin)

Plasma cell

How do plasma cells assist with humoral immunity

Plasma cells produce interferons

Slows or stops B and T cell activity once infection has been conquered

Regulatory T cell

The _____ duct drains lymph from the right arm and the right side of the head and thorax

Right lymphatic

The inflammatory process begins with release of chemicals, which do all of the following EXCEPT

Stimulate release of lysosome

The process by which antibodies bind to specific spots on bacterial exotoxins (toxic chemicals secreted by bacteria) to block their harmful effects is called

Neutralization

Harmful or disease-causing microorganisms from which nonspecific defense protect the body are called

Pathogens

Which of the following is NOT an autoimmune disease

AIDS

Redness, heat, swelling, and pain are the four most common indicators of

Acute inflammation

Which antibody-antigen interaction results when a foreign blood type is transfused and clumped

Agglutination

A lymph node is indicated by

B

The thymus is indicated by

B

Lymph fluid and some plasma proteins originate (escape) from the

Blood vascular system

B cells develop immunocompetence in the

Bone marrow

The lymphoid organ that destroys worn-out blood cells is indicated by

C (spleen)

What is the chief way the body responds to antigens

Complement fixation

Kills virus-infected cells, cancerous cells, and is involved in graft rejection

Cytotoxic T cell

A lymph capillary is indicated by

D

The peyer's patches are indicated by

D

Excess accumulation of fluid, which impairs the exchange of materials within the tissues, is called

Edema

What does fever accomplish

Fever inhibits bacterial reproduction and speeds the repair process

Which one of the following is NOT one of the antibody classes

IgB

Regardless of whether it matures into a B cell or a T cell a lymphocyte that is capable of responding to a specific antigen by binding to it is said to be

Immunocompetent

What inhibits viruses from entering and attacking healthy cells

Interferons

The adaptive (specific) defense system

Issues an attack specific to particular foreign substances

The third line of defense involves the adaptive response mediated by

Lymphocytes

May exist in the body for years and enable a quick response to subsequent meetings with the same antigen

Memory cell

Due to a recent respiratory illness from a viral infection, Jennifer has now developed

Naturally acquired active immunity

Lymphocytes are trained to be self-tolerant of

The body's own cells

Which one of the following is NOT true of the constant (C) regions of antibodies

The constant regions form an antigen-binding site

Chemotaxis is best described as

The movement of cells along a chemical gradient
