adaptive immune response - Answerimmune mechanisms that "learn" to deal with
specific invaders
.airborne transmission - Answera transmission mechanism in which the infectious agent
is spread as an aerosol and usually enters a person through the respiratory tract
.antibodies - Answera substance produced by a B lymphocyte in response to a unique
antigen, which it can then combine with to destroy or control it
.antigen-presenting cells (APCs) - Answera group of immunocompetent cells that
mediate cellular immune response by engulfing, processing, and presenting antigens to
the T-cell receptor. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include macrophages, dendritic
cells, Langerhans cells, and B lymphocytes.
.B cells - Answera type of lymphocyte, developed in bone marrow, that circulates in the
blood and lymph and, upon encountering a particular foreign antigen, differentiates into
a clone of plasma cells that secrete a specific antibody and a clone of memory cells that
make the antibody on subsequent encounters
.biological vector - AnswerA vector that is essential in the life cycle of a pathogenic
organism
.capsule - Answera sheath or continuous enclosure around an organ or structure
.cell membrane - Answera semipermeable phospholipid bilayer that separates the
interior of cells from the outside environment and controls movement into and out of the
cell
.chromosomes - Answera linear strand made of DNA that carries genetic information
(genes)
.cilia - Answerthreadlike projections from the free surface of certain epithelial cells used
to propel or sweep materials across a surface
.common vehicle transmission - Answerthe mode of transmission of infectious
pathogens from a source that is common to all the cases of a specific disease, by
means of a vehicle such as water, food, air, or the blood supply
