What Is the Specific Response Targeting a Specific Pathogen

Any organism that causes disease like a virus or bacteria is called:

• Antibiotics

• Antibody

• Pathogen

• Phagocyte

Part of the body's defense against pathogens in which cells of the immune system react to each kind of pathogen with a defense targeted specifically at that pathogen is called:

• Protective Barrier

• Inflammatory Response

• Adaptive Immune Response

• Stomach acid

A molecule that the immune system recognizes either as part of the body or as coming from outside the body:

• Antigen

• Antibodies

• Antibiotics

• Antipaths

A protein produced by B cells of the immune system that destroys pathogens is called:

• Antigens

• Antibodies

• T-cells

• Lymphocytes

The body's ability to destroy pathogens before they can cause disease is called:

• Tolerance

• Immunity

• Vaccine

• Inflammatory response

Which of the following is a way to spread infectious diseases?

• Touching contaminated objects

• Not washing hands regularly

• Being near infected people

• All of these are ways

When the body encounters a pathogen, antibodies are created that are specific to that pathogen. The next time the body encounters the pathogen, the response will be:

• Slower

• Faster

What function do CD4 T cells have?

• Inject pathogens with toxins

• Create antibodies

• Coordinate immune response

• Eat pathogens

What function do phagocytes have?

• They help our immune system remember pathogens

• They eat invading cells

• They control your immune response

• All of the above

What are the 5 types of pathogens that could cause illness?

• animals, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and plants

• bacteria, fungi, worms, nucleus, parasites

• bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa and parasites

• bacteria, plants, fungi, Kardashians, parasites
