Immune System Vocab
19
Innate: Non-specific response
Acquired: Specific response to pathogens
Lysosome: organelle that contains digestive enzymes
Phagocyte: Type of white blood cell that engulfs pathogen
Antimicrobial proteins: attacks bacteria by disrupting their reproduction
Inflammatory response: local injury where cells release histamines to alert white blood cells
Cell Mediated: sub-category of acquired immunity where leukocytes fight specific pathogens
Humoral Response: sub-category of acquired immunity where B-cells & antibodies identify pathogens
Antigen: surface marker on a cell
Antibody: proteins produced by B-cells that identify a specific antigen
B cells: give rise to antibodies and activate the cell-mediated response
Neutrophils: short-lived phagocytes, yet abundant
Gram negative bacteria: microbes that stain pink and are not easily destroyed by antibiotics
Gram positive bacteria: microbes that stain purple and are readily destroyed by antibiotics & antimicrobial proteins
Virus: a host-specific pathogen that is considered non-living
Lymph nodes: Organs of the lymphatic system scattered throughout the body that harbor white blood cells
Spleen: The organ responsible for filtering blood and removing old and damaged blood cells
Histamine: A chemical produced by injured cells during an inflammatory response
Ecoli: Type of bacteria living in your intestines that helps you with digestion and won’t make you sick unless it enters your blood stream
