What Substance in the blood that destroys certain kinds of diseases?
Antibodies and white blood cells Antibodies and white blood cells
The cells capable of fighting bacterial infection in the body are?
it is white blood cells
Does your body is protected from disease by red blood cells?
no. white blood cells and antibodies
What are white blood cells essential to resisting disease?
White blood cells resist antibodies which latch on to the germs so that macrophage, another type of white blood cell, can dissolve the germ. White blood cells also become plasma cells which release millions of antibodies.
What cell make antibodies?
White blood cells make antibodies called lymphocytes or B cells
Which cells make antibodies?
B lymphocytes are the white blood cells that produce plasma cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins that recognize foreign materials and help the body destroy or neutralize them. The type of white blood cell that secretes antibodies to kill microorganisms is called lymphocytes. The other kind of white blood cell is called the phagocyte, which kills pathogens by engulfing them (basically, "eating" the microbe).
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
white blood cells
The blood component is responsible for producing antibodies?
White blood cells
What component of blood has large amount of antibodies?
The white blood cells.
Is antibodies the same as white blood cells?
No, not even close. White blood cells are cells that circulate in your blood and lymph. B-cells are a type of white blood cell that start producing antibodies when they are shown what the antibody is needed for. For example, if your body has a bacterial infection, other cells 'pick up' debris from these bacterial cells, and 'show' these debris pieces to the B-cells. These B-cells then transform into 'plasma cells', which start producing antibodies specific for that particular bacteria. Antibodies basically 'stick' to any of that same bacteria that they find around your body, acting as a flag, so that your other immune cells can find it and attack it.
Why do white blood cells produce antibodies?
White Blood Cells prouduce antibodies because when a pathogen (another name for a diease) enters your body white blood cells sends out the right antibodies to kill the pathogen and when it is killed the white blood cells remembers it so if the pathogen ever comes back again they know how to get rid of it this is called immunty
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
