1. immune system
the tissues, cells, and molecules involved in adaptive immunity, or sometimes the totality of host defense
2. innate immune system
the component of the immune system in animals that is genetically determined and is nonspecific, as
3. elements of the innate immune system include (6)
mucous secretions complement proteins
certain white blood cells (neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells)
4. Adaptive immune system
the component of the vertebrate immune system involving lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) containing a
number of genetically encoded proteins that combine to produce an enormous variety of proteins capable of
5. categories of disease causing microorganisms (4)
virusesbacteriapathogenic fungiparasites
6. The early phases of the host response to infection depend on
innate immunity
7. The early phases of the host response to infection depend on innate immunity in which a variety of innate
recognize and respond to the presence of a pathogen
8. innate immunity utilizes invariant receptors that recognize
common features of pathogens
9. Innate immunity is present in all individuals at all times, does not increase with repeated
exposure to a given pathogen
10. innate immunity discriminates between
a group of related pathogens
11. The adaptive immune response or adaptive immunity is the response of
antigen-specific lymphocytes to antigen, including the development of immunological memory
12. Adaptive immune responses are generated by
clonal selection of lymphocytes
13. Adaptive immune responses are distinct from innate and nonadaptive phases of immunity, which are not
clonal selection of antigen-specific lymphocytes
14. Adaptive immune responses are also known as
acquired immune responses
15. In many cases adaptive immune responses lead to immunologic memory which confers
lifelong protective immunity to reinfection by the same pathogen
