| foreign microbes that cause disease | Pathogens |
| Identify a specific pathogen | virus, bacteria, fungus |
| immune cells that engulf and destroy pathogens | white blood cells |
| body system that fights pathogens | immune system |
| found on pathogens and stimulate an immune response | antigens |
| describe an immune response to a pathogen | - recognizes foreign microbes, antibodies flag for destruction, WBC's enfulf and destroy pathogen and create more antibodies |
| created IN THE BODY to flag pathogens for destruction | antibodies |
| contents of a vaccine | dead or weak pathogen (which still stimulates an immune response) |
| when the body responds to harmless antigens causing an immune response | allergies |
| true or false: antibodies have specific receptors to interact with specific pathogens | true- each pathogen has different shaped antigens and requires different shaped antibody receptors to be able to respond |
