What infects and destroys T cells of the immune system?
HIV infects and destroys T cells of the immune system, leading to a weakened immune response and susceptibility to opportunistic infections.
Which types of T cells are a critical component of the immune system because it stimulates and enhances the activity of other components of the immune system?
T -helper cells
Which T cell inhibits the activity of other T cells?
Regulatory T cells (Treg) suppress the action of other T cells. This inhibits immune responses to self-antigens, aiming to prevent the immune system from attacking normal self cells.
What are the immune system's antibody factories?
T cells and B cells
Which cell activate the immune system?
T cells
Where are t-cells located in the body?
There in the Immune System
What kind of cell does HIV infect?
HIV infects cells in the central nervous system and the immune system. HIV's main target cell is the T helper lymphocyte. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system, by coordinating the actions of other immune system cells. A large reduction in the number of T helper cells seriously weakens the immune system3
Which immune system components contribute to the immune defense by coordinating defenses and by killing infected cells on contact?
T cells are the components of the immune system that coordinate immune defenses and kill infected cells on contact.
What is not a part of the innate immune defenses?
which of these is not apart of the body immune system
How does the thymus in the lymphatic system assist the immune system?
The thymus matures T lymphocytes (T cells) which identify foreign antigens. This is also where T cells that would be able to bond with self-antigens (would attack the bodies healthy cells) are weeded out and destroyed.
What are the three main cells that make up the immune system?
phagocyte is the main cell of immune system
What is one way in which the lymphatic system work together with the immune system?
The immune system produces B cells and T cells. These cells are stored in the lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system.
