COMPONENTS OF BLOOD: largest, phagocytosis of large bacterial organisms,
chronic *viral infections* - ANSWER monocytes
COMPONENTS OF BLOOD: "large eaters"; large and long-lived; capture foreign
cells, digest and present protein fragments (peptides) from cells; present antigen to
T-cells - ANSWER macrophages
IMMUNE SYSTEM: first line of defense - ANSWER skin, mucus membranes
,IMMUNE SYSTEM: second line of defense - ANSWER inflammation
IMMUNE SYSTEM: third line of defense - ANSWER immune response
IMMUNE SYSTEM: primary cell for immune response; originates in the liver,
spleen, and bone marrow of the fetus - ANSWER lymphocytes

associated with allergies
found in lung, skin, mucus membranes - ANSWER IgE
ANTIBODIES -- IMMUNOGLOBULIN:
found in the lining of the belly or chest
unknown function(s) - ANSWER IgD
