Adaptive immunity
Ability to recognize and remember specific antigens and mount an attack on them
28
Adenoids
Mass of lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx
29
Antibody
Protein produced by B cells to destroy antigens
30
Antigen
Substance that the body recognizes as foreign; evokes an immune response
31
Axillary nodes
Lymph nodes in the armpit
32
B cell (B lymphocyte)
Lymphocyte that matures into a plasma cell to secrete antibodies
33
Cell mediated immunity
T cells that respond to antigens and destroy them
34
Cervical nodes
Lymph nodes in the neck region
35
Complement system
Proteins in the blood that help antibodies and kill their target
36
Cytokines
Proteins secreted by cytotoxic T cells to aid in antigens destruction
37
Cytotoxic T cell (CD8 + T cell)
Lymphocyte that directly kills antigens
38
Dendritic cell
Antigen presenting cell; shows T and B cells what to attack
39
Helper T cell ( CD4 + T cell)
Lymphocyte that aids B cells and stimulates T cell
40
Humoral immunity
B cell produce antibodies after exposure to specific antigens; type of adaptive immunity
41
Immunity
Body’s ability to resist foreign organisms and toxins that damage tissue and organs
42
Immunoglobulins
Antibodies secreted by plasma cells in response to the presence of an antigen
43
Immunotherapy
Use of immune cells, antibodies, or vaccines to treat or prevent disease
44
Inguinal nodes
Lymph nodes in the groin region
45
Interferons
Proteins secreted by T cells and other cells to aid and regulate the immune response
46
Interleukins
Proteins that stimulate the growth of B and T lymphocytes
47
Interstitial fluid
Fluid in the spaces between cells; becomes lymph in lymph capillaries
48
Lymph
Thin, watery fluid within lymphatic vessels and collected from tissues throughout the body
49
Lymph capillaries
Tiniest lymphatic vessels
50
Lymphoid organs
Lymph nodes,spleen, and thymus gland
51
Lymph node
Collection of stationary solid lymphatic tissue along lymph vessels
52
Lymph vessels
Carrier of lymph throughout the body
53
Macrophage
Large phagocyte found in lymph nodes and other tissue of the body
54
Mediastinal nodes
Lymph nodes in the area between the lungs in the thoracic cavity
55
Mesenteric nodes
Lymph nodes in the mesentery
56
Monoclonal antibody
An antibody produced in a laboratory to attack antigens and to destroy cells
57
Natural immunity
Protection that an individual is born with to fight infection
58
Para-aortic nodes
Lymph nodes near the aorta in the lumbar area of the body
59
Plasma cell
Lymphocyte that secretes antibodies; matures from B lymphocytes
60
Right lymphatic duct
Vessel in the chest that drains lymph from the upper right part of body; empties into large neck vein
61
Spleen
Organ in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen that destroys worn out RBCs, activates lymphocytes, and stores blood
62
Suppressor T cell (Treg)
Lymphocyte that inhibits the activity of B and T cells
63
T cell ( T lymphocyte)
Lymphocyte that acts directly on antigens to destroy them or produces chemicals toxic to antigens
64
Toxin
Poison; a protein produced by certain bacteria, animals, or plants
65
Vaccination
Exposure of an individual to an antigen that provoked an immune response that will destroy any cell with the antigen and will protect against infection
66
Vaccine
Weakened or killed microorganisms toxins, or other proteins given to induce immunity to infection or disease
