antibodies
What is a scientific word for foreign chemicals?
'Foreign' chemicals which get into the blood and provoke an immune response are called antigens.
The foreign or nonself proteins that trigger immune responses are called?
An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.
Preventing anyone not directly involved with the emergency response operation from entering the affected area is called?
denial of entry

Antigen

What will a bacterium entering the body through a small cut in the skin do?

Why is the inflammatory response called a general defense?
The inflammatory response is called a general defense because the response is similar regardless of the pathogen. It is a fundamental response of the body to injury and disease."Because the inflammatory response is the same no matter what the pathogen, it is called the body's general defense." Quoted from: Texas Science Explorer Grade 7 (textbook), published by Prentice Hall "Because the inflammatory response is the same no matter what the pathogen, it is called the body's general defense."

An important defense against diseases in vertebrate animals is the ability to eliminate inactivate or destroy foreign substances and organisms explain how the immune system achieves the following?
Provides an immediate nonspecific immune response I think this is talking about the physical barriers that stop a foreign substance from entering the body. Mucous, skin, hair... those are physical barriers that stop foreign substances from entering the body. Activates T and B cells in response to an infection There are two types of T cells, helper cells which help B cells, and Killer Cells which kill foreign substances. The T cells are activated when a phagocyte eats a foreign substance and takes it to the spleen to identify what the foreign substance is. The T cells make an antigen that binds to the foreign substance so the B cells can "kill" the foreign invader. Responds to a later exposure to the same infectious agent Sam process except it is more faster then previously. The immune system creates memory B cells that remember the foreign substance and it begins immune responses to fight off the infectious agent. Distinguishes self from non self It is all about the antigens. If the person has an antibody for a flu or something, it will fight that flu that has the antigen for the flu. If it has an antibody for something that is self that is called an autoimmune response which is not good at all.
What is a cell that is responsible for the ability of an organism to produce a rapid antibody response against a foreign protein when it is encountered years after the first encounter called?
These are the memory cells.
