Definition
Term
show The body's defenders against these tiny but mighty enemies are two systems, simply called he innate and the adaptive defense systems. Together make up this.  
🗑
Innate Defense System   show
🗑
Non-Specific Defense System   show
🗑
show The resulting highly specific resistance to disease is called immunity (immun=free).  
🗑
show Harmful or disease-causing microorganisms.  
🗑
Lysozyme   show
🗑
Natural Killer Cells   show
🗑
Inflammatory Response   show
🗑
Histamine   show
🗑
Kinins   show
🗑
Diapedesis   show
🗑
Pus   show
🗑
Phagocytes   show
🗑
show Enhance the innate defenses either by attacking microorganisms directly or by hindering their ability to reproduce. The most important of these are complement proteins and interferon.  
🗑
show Refers to a group of at least 20 plasma proteins that circulate in the blood in an inactive state.  
🗑
Complement Fixation   show
🗑
show Produce lesions, complete with holes, in the foreign cell's surface.  
🗑

🗑
Fever   show
🗑
show (pyro=fire), chemicals secreted by white blood cells and macrophages exposed to foreign cells or substances in the body.

🗑
Humoral Immunity   show
🗑
show Or- cell-mediated immunity because the protective factor is living cells.  
🗑
Antigen   show
🗑
show Non-reactive against "self" antigens under normal homeostatic conditions due to negative selection of T cells in the thymus and identifies and attacks only "non-self" invaders from modified/harmful substances present in the body in distressed conditions.  
🗑
Hapten   show
🗑
show Provoking an immune response involves the binding of penicillin to blood proteins. Which causes this in some people.  
🗑
show Or B cells, produce antibodies and oversee humoral immunity.  
🗑
show Or T cells, are non-antibody-producing lymphocytes that constitute the cell-mediated arm of the adaptive defense system.  
🗑
Immunocompetent   show
🗑
Antigen-Presenting Cells   show
🗑
