| Function of the immune system | Defense against infection |
| A homeostatic protective response | Immunological reaction |
| Foreign proteins | Antigens |
| Active acquired immunity | Antibodies synthesized by the body in response to antigen stimulation |
| Antibodies produced in one individual and transferred to another | Passive acquired immunity |
| These attack and destroy invading antigens | Antibodies |
| Formation of a specific antibody for each antigen | Property of specificity |
| Ability to remember the specific antigen and make appropriate antibody | Property of memory |
| Infant obtains this from the mother | Natural immunity |
| These substances inhibit the inflammatory response | Steroids |
| In an older adult, the immune response is? | hypoactive |
| This is an example of an autoimmune response disease found mostly in women | Rheumatoid arthritis |
| An autoimmune response | Antibodies are formed against the body's own antigens |
| Anaphylactic Reaction | An antigen-antibody response that causes the release of histamine, cuasing vasodilatation and increased capillary permeability. |
| Signs of an anaphylatic reaction | Urticaria, diffuse erythema, periorbital edema. |
| An autoimmune disease that attacks multiple organs | Systemic Lupus Erythematous |
| Lymphadenopathy | Lymph nodes in at least two extra inguinal sites stay swollen for at least 3 months |
| Ways to prevent tranmission of the HIV virus | Use of condoms, maintain monogomy, |
| Immunodeficiency | A condition where the body is unable to defend itself from an invading microorganism |
| Type of immunity acquired when a person is vaccinated | Passive immunity |
| When a person is exposed to an antigen through an illness, the body develops these. | Antibodies |
| Destroys unneeded red blood cells and stores blood for the body's use in an emergency | Spleen |
| Part of the lymphatic system and located in the cervical spine, axilla, inguinal regions | Lymph nodes |
| A type of white blood that has trapped a microorganism | T cell |
| Single most important cell of the lymphatic system | White blood cell |
| A network of vessels that assists in circulating body fluids | Lymphatic system |
| Are microscopic, closed ended tubes | Lymphatic capillaries |
| walls of the lymphatic capillaries are comprised of this | Single layer epithelial cell |
| This is the site of most B cell and T cell production | Bone marrow |
| Both the lymph nodes and spleen provide the body with filtration. The main difference is? | Spleen filters blood; lymph nodes filter lymph fluid |
