Result of inflammation that inhibits microbial growth and increases metabolic rate
The more specific portion of bodily defenses
The vital cells of the immune system
Antigens that only have one type of antigenic determinate and have no immunogenicity
Component of lymphatic system that produces, programs, and matures T-cells
These cells will find and phagocytize an antigen, attach the epitopes to their MHC complex and present it to helper T- cells in lymph nodes
Home to the lymphocytes in a lymph node
An immunodeficiency that targets Helper T-cells, which in turn depresses all immunity
Proteins on each cell surface that marks that cell as belonging to your body
Process of complement attaching to invaders to mark them as targets
A type of both B and T cells that are programmed to recognize an antigen so that if it returns, the immune response is quicker and more intense
Vessels that carry the lymph
A foreign invader in the body

T-cells that attach and chemically bombard an antigen; the "weapon" of cellular immunity
These lymphatics carry lymph towards the lymph nodes
Type of chemicals used by phagocytic cells of the innate defense system
Lymphocytes programmed in the bones that are responsible for producing antibodies
The "front-line" defense of immune system. non-specific portion
