Acquired- A type of immunity that develops when a person's immune system responds to a foreign substance
or microorganism, or that occurs after a person receives antibodies from another source.

Adenoid- are lymph tissues that sit in your upper airway between your nose and the back of your throat. 

Antibody- is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called
antigens. 

Axillary- The axillary region is the area between the superior portion of the upper limb and the thorax.

Capillary- The smallest type of blood vessel.

Cell- The smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the
body. 

Complement- combine well with something.

Copy- to produce something that is exactly like another thing.

Cytotoxic-  substance that kills cells, including cancer cells. 

Dendritic- dendritic cells are immune cells that effectively link the innate and adaptive arms of the immune
system. 

Duct- for transfer of air between spaces in a structure.

Fluid- having particles that easily move and change their relative position without a separation of the mass and
that easily yield to pressure 

Helper-  contributes to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose.

Immunity- the immune system's way of protecting the body against an infectious disease. 

Immunoglobulin- Also called antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight
germs, such as viruses and bacteria.

Immunotherapy- a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer.

Inguinal- An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in
the abdominal muscles. 

Interferon-  A natural substance that helps the body's immune system fight infection and other diseases, such as
cancer. 

Interleukin- One of a group of related proteins made by leukocytes and other cells in the body. 

Interstitial- Interstitial has to do with small spaces, called "interstices."

Lymph- Lymph is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels and
intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to be
recirculated.

Macrophage-  A type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and
stimulates the action of other immune system cells.

Monoclonal- Monoclonal antibodies are man-made proteins that act like human antibodies in the immune
system. 

Natural- Natural immunity happens after a person gets sick with a disease. The body may recover after several
days of rest, but re-infections can happen, and may still result to death.

Node-  small bean-shaped structure that is part of the body's immune system.

Paste- a thick, soft, moist substance typically produced by mixing dry ingredients with a liquid.

Plasma- the liquid portion of blood and about 55% of our blood is plasma.

Reading- The act of viewing and interpreting letters, words, sentences, and others.

Small- describes something as little or not of large size.

Spleen-  A small organ inside your left rib cage, just above the stomach. It's part of the lymphatic system.

Suppressor- A type of immune cell that blocks the actions of some other types of lymphocytes, to keep the
immune system from becoming over-active.

System- In medical meaning, a group of related organs that act together to perform a common function.

Thoracic- The thorax is also called the chest and contains the main organs of respiration and circulation.

Tolerance- In medical term, it is a condition that occurs when the body gets used to a medicine so that either
more medicine is needed or different medicine is needed.

Tonsil- a pair of soft tissue masses in the rear of the throat that trap germs that are breathed in.

Toxin- Substance created by plants and animals that are poisonous to humans. Toxin may also include some
medicines that are helpful in small doses, but poisonous in large amounts.

Vaccination- the administration of a vaccine to help the immune system develop immunity from a disease.

Vaccine- used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases.

Vessel- A tube through which the blood circulates in the body.
