Match the following terms with their functions:

Monocytes = Travel in blood & will mature into macrophages in tissues where they become phagocytic cells Phagocytosis = Ingestion of microbes or other substances by a phagocyte Chemotaxis = Release of chemical signals (cytokines) by pathogen attract phagocytes Adherence = Attachment of phagocyte to surface of the pathogen Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their outcomes:

Ingestion = Endocytosis of pathogen forming a phagosome that merges with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome inside the phagocyte Digestion = Pathogen is digested inside a phagolysosome Capsule (pathogen too big to be engulfed) = Capsule (pathogen too big to be engulfed) Mycolic acid (a waxy lipid) = Inhibits Signup and view all the answers

Opsonization = Complement proteins coat surface of pathogen Inflammation = Complement proteins bind mast cells Cytolysis = Complement proteins create a membrane attack complex (MAC) Immunology = Study of host defenses against foreign substances (antigens) Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their meanings:

Antigen (Ag) = Substance that stimulates a certain immune response in the form of antibody production Antibody (Ab) = Protective proteins made by the host in response to certain antigens Humoral Immunity = Fights invaders and threats outside of the cell (extracellular Ag’s) Cell-Mediated (Cellular) Immunity = Attacks antigens that have entered the cell (intracellular Ag’s) Signup and view all the answers

Match the following T cell types with their functions:

Helper T cells (TH cells) = Activate TC cells involved in cell-mediated immunity Cytotoxic T cells (TC cells) = Destroy target cells on contact Regulatory T cells (TR cells) = Suppresses/turns-off immune response when it is not needed Delayed Hypersensitivity T cells (TD cells) = Produces a delayed and exaggerated immune response Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their descriptions:

Opsonization = Promotes attraction/attachment of phagocyte to pathogen Inflammation = Increase blood vessel permeability; chemotactic attraction of phagocytes Cytolysis = Creates a hole/channel in pathogen’s cell wall/cell membrane Immunology = The study of host defenses against foreign substances (antigens) Signup and view all the answers
