1. What is the immune system?

A complex network of cells, tissues, organs, and the substances they

make that helps the body fight infections and other diseases.
2. What are the types of immunity?
There are two types of immunity: active and passive.
3. What are antibodies?
a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a
specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances
which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and
foreign substances in the blood.
4. What are pathogens?
a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
5. What is a virus?
an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule
in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is
able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
6. What are Bacteria?
a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which
have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus,
including some that can cause disease.
7. Tell me two parts of the immune system
There are 2 main parts of the immune system: The innate immune
system. You are born with this. The adaptive immune system
8. Tell me the types of granulocytes
are neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Granulocytes,
specifically neutrophils, help the body fight bacterial infections.
9. Tell me the types of agranulocytes.
A type of white blood cell. Monocytes and lymphocytes are
agranulocytes.
10. What is the function of lymphocyte?
Lymphocytes are white blood cells uniform in appearance but
varied in function and include T, B, and natural killer cells. These
cells are responsible for antibody production, direct cell-mediated
killing of virus-infected and tumor cells, and regulation of the
immune response.
11. What is the function of Natural Killer?
Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate
immune system that control several types of tumors and microbial
infections by limiting their spread and subsequent tissue damage.
12. What is an autoimmune disease?
are conditions in which your immune system mistakenly attacks
your body
13. Describe a normal immune response
The normal immune response can be broken down into four main
components: pathogen recognition by cells of the innate immune
system, with cytokine release, complement activation and
phagocytosis of antigens. the innate immune system triggers an
acute inflammatory response to contain the infection.
14. Describe what happen during an autoimmune disease?
Autoimmune disease happens when the body's natural defense
system can't tell the difference between your own cells and foreign
cells, causing the body to mistakenly attack normal cells. There are
more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases that affect a wide
range of body parts.
