This type of immunity can be called nonspecific and refers to the bodies defenses that are present since birth.

• resistance

• adaptive immunity

• acquired immunity

• innate immunity

A form of innate immunity - oil that bathes the skin forming a protective film over the skin. This oil inhibits growth of pathogens.

• keratin

• sebum

• mucous

• lacrimal apparatus produces tears

Proteins in blood plasma and on cell membranes that interact as a system to respond to a microbe in the body. These proteins respond to binding of antibodies to the cell membrane of invading microbe.

• compliment system

• immune system

• innate immunity

• Interferon

choose all of the parts of the bodies first line of defense

• Skin in layers with the top layer being dead dry cells that shed off removing pathogens

• Mucous membranes in the nose, respiratory and digestive tract

• Tears which wash away microbes in the eyes

• Specialized cells which have a memory of past pathogens

• Cytoxic T cells and cytoxins

The second line of defense includes which of the following?

• inclusions

• Non-specific phagocytes

• inflamatory response

• cilia

• White blood cells such as neutrophils

A cellular structure used in phagocytosis filled with digestive enzymes such as protease.

• vesicle

• Phagosome

• Phagolysosome

• Lysosome

Proteins that initiate an immune response. These proteins may initiate chemotaxis, fever, pain, and T- cell production.

• Keratin

• Mycotoxins

• Cytokines

• Transferrins

This process increases blood flow to an area that is damaged, due to increased blood vessel size and is responsible for redness and edema in the area

• vasodilation

• vasoconstriction

• margination

• emigration

A part of the innate immunity. The bodies defensive response caused by microbial infection, physical damage or chemical agents. Showing redness, swelling, and phagocytes coming to the area to engulf the microbe.

• phagocytosis

• edema

• cytotoxicity

• Inflammation

This type of immunity is acquired during one's lifetime. It is induced by antigens that invade the body.

• innate immunity

• adaptive immunity

• nonspecific immunity

• normal microbiota
