 Like all other body systems, the immune system helps the body maintain homeostasis.  Which statement best describes how the immune system does this?  

• it protects other organs and tissues from infection and disease
• it breaks down food to provide cells with nutrients
• it gathers information through the senses and controls all other body systems
•  it transports oxygen and carbon dioxide

What is the Immune system?

•  The body's defense system
• A system that gives support and structure 
• A system that helps you breathe
• None of the above

What do antibodies attach to on the pathogen?

• Anti inflammatory
• Antigens
• Antiseptic
• Antibodies

Pathogens are recognized by their...

• antigens
• antibodies
• killer t-cells
• B-cells

True/False: Your body cannot make antibodies for pathogens that you have never been in contact with.

• True, because your body needs to encounter the pathogen at least once in order to create the antibodies.

• False, because you can make antibodies via immunizations given by a doctor.
