How are vaccinations able to help us develop immunity?
Exposure to disease creates antibodies which make us immune
Exposure to antibodies which makes us the disease immune to us
Exposure to immunity's which make us antibodies to the disease
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.
The immune system works with all of the following system EXCEPT...
the integumentary
the lymphatic
the muscular
the cardiovascular
What is the function of antibodies within the immune system?
Antibodies kill off any antigen that enters the body.
Antibodies are only made when you are given a vaccination for specific antigens.
Antibodies bind to specific antigens to flag for destruction.
Antibodies are part of an external defense mechanism.
What happens after the second time you are exposed to a pathogen?
The body will not be able to fight off the pathogen quickly, because it knows how to get into the body easier.
The body's immune system will react the same was as it did during the first exposure.
The body can only be exposed to a pathogen a second time if you do not have a vaccine.
The body will know how to fight off the pathogen quickly, because memory cells have been created after the first encounter.
How do T cells differ from B cells?
T cells fight pathogens by killing pathogens directly, while B cells fight pathogens by making antibodies.
T cells only make memory cells, and B cells only make antigens
T cells fight pathogens by making antibodies, while B cells fight pathogens by killing pathogens directly.
T cells can only fight off pathogens the body has encountered once, and B cells can fight off any pathogen the body comes across.

Body cells are dividing at an uncontrolled rate.
The body is reacting to foreign antigens that are not dangerous to most people.
T cells and B cells in the body cannot be activated.
