Interstitial fluid
Excess fluid found b/t cells collected by the lymphoid system & returns it to the bloodstream.
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
Edema:
Fluid build up in the interstitial spaces
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
Lymphoid nodules:
-Masses of lymphoid tissue not surrounded by a capsule
-Distributed in the connective tissue of the mucous membranes
-Tonsils are 3 sets of lymphoid nodules:
-pharyngeal
-palatine
-lingual
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
monocytes & macrophages produce these; proteins that assist in regulation of the immune response by increasing B-cell production & stimulating red bone marrow to produce ,more WBCs
Infection:
monocytes & macrophages produce these; proteins that assist in regulation of the immune response by increasing B-cell production & stimulating red bone marrow to produce ,more WBCs
Presence of a pathogen
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
Pathogen
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses

a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
The body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as non specific defense .
Interferon
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
Healthy cells to make antiviral proteins
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
Phagocytes:
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
phagocytes are WBCs that surround & destroy pathogens & unwanted debris in the body
foreign substances in the body
Antigen:

Antibodies:
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
Proteins in the body that produce a response to a specific antigen
foreign substances in the body
Monokins:
foreign substances in the body
monocytes & macrophages produce these; proteins that assist in regulation of the immune response by increasing B-cell production & stimulating red bone marrow to produce ,more WBCs
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
Lymphocytes:
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
Lymphocytes are the major WBCs involved in specific defenses
foreign substances in the body
Autoimmune disease:
foreign substances in the body
Body attacks its own antigens
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
Allergy:
Excessive immune response that involves igE antibodies
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
Anaphylaxis:
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
-Life threading allergic reaction
-Blood vessel dilate quickly
-Blood pressure drops to fast for organs to adjust
foreign substances in the body
Epinephrine
foreign substances in the body
Effective treatment of anaphylaxis, causes vasoconstriction which increases BP

Different with each type of cancer
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
Celiac disease:
a disease causing agent such as a bacterium, virus, toxin, fungus or protozoan in or on the body
Immune reaction to eating gluten
Eating gluten triggers an autoimmune reaction that causes that person’s body to attack the small intestinal mucosa
the body’s mechanisms that protect itself against pathogens in general, also known as nonspecific defenses
