Nonspecific Defenses
13.
line defense:
a.
block pathogen using
b.
block pathogen using
14.
line defense:
a. ______________________________: caused by damage to tissue
b. _____________________________: increases phagocytosis & denatures enzymes
c.
d.
: protein to bring immune cells to injury site
white blood cells
e. ______________________________: eats foreign particles, damaged cells & microbes
f. ____________________________: eats only microbes
g. ____________________________: kills virus-infected cells
15. Specific Defenses:
line defense
16. _______________________ immune response: uses B cells
a. Purpose =
b. _____________________ on the B cell binds to the _____________________ of the pathogen.
c. The ______________ divides & differentiates to form _______________ cells in order to mass produce
_________________.
d. _______________________ are formed for future defense.
17. _______________________ immune response: uses T cells
a. Purpose =
b. ________________ engulfs pathogen, then wears pathogen’s ________________ on its surface
c. ___________________ releases cytokines when it binds with the
carried by the ___________
d. Cytokines stimulate
.
e. _____________________________ kill infected cells.
Immune Disorders
HIV/AIDS causes the immune response to fail because:
1.
2.
A food/pollen allergy is a hypersensitive 3.______________ immune response that is triggered by the release of
4._______________ by 5.____________ cells, resulting in 6.______________ and 7.______________. Plant
allergy occurs when the plant’s 8.________________ combines with 9.______________________, causing
10.______________ to kill 11._________________, resulting in 12.__________________, 13.____________,
and 14.________________.
