Where do immature T-cells mature into effector T-cells and memory T-cells?
thymus, which is a small organ that is located in the chest.
Plasma cells develop from transformed b cells or t cells?
ativated B cells forms effector cells which are called plasma cells
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
What types of memory cells are developed in the immune response?
There are two major cell populations that are responsible for "memory" in the immune system T and B cells. B cells produce antibodies that neutralize antigens, blockade the pathogens receptors, or otherwise mess with the ability of these pathogens to function. T cells can develop into central memory or effector memory cells, each type is defined by how long they hand around in the body and how easy it is for them to respond to re-infections. T cells, depending on their type, will either help direct the immune response (T helper cells) or can killers (cytotoxic or killer T cells). Once these cells encounter their specific antigen they will divide and go about their business protecting our bodies. Once the they're no longer needed for clearance their numbers fall and only a fraction of the cells generated stay alive. These cells (T or B) can respond much faster and in greater numbers than original response. This is why you rarely ever get sick with the same disease twice.
How do T-Cells fight infection?
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
Where do immature T-cells mature into effector T-cells and memory T-cells?
thymus, which is a small organ that is located in the chest.
Plasma cells develop from transformed b cells or t cells?
ativated B cells forms effector cells which are called plasma cells
How do memory cells differ from effector cells?
Memory cells live longer than effector cells and are responsible for the secondary immune response
What does humoral immunity involves?
The cells which are involved in the production of antibodies are known as B cells. These are effector cells which will secrete anybodies and activate the antigens.
What is meant by T cell priming?
The first contact of a T or B cell with its specific antigen is called priming. It causes differentiation into effector T or B cells.
Cells that carry out a response to a stimulus are called?
effector
How are helper t cells activated?
It is a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, but it has no ability to ingest or destroy invading bacteria. It activates other white blood cells or antibodies to react with the invading organism.
What are Th1 and Th2?
Th1 and Th2 are part of your adaptive immunity. They are the effector T cells with specific function. Th1 acts directly on macrophages to make it able to defeat pathogens and Th1 activates B cells.
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
Protects the body destroys bacteria and tumor cells?
T cells are made in the red bone marrow but specialize into t cells outside the marrow in the thymus, hence the T in Tcells. two types of t cells are cytotoxic effector cells and helper t cells. think of cytotoxic t cells as the drunk guy in the bar that wants to fight everyone (and is a good fighter by the way) and the helper t cells are the friends who show him who to fight and provides him with the weapons to fight. CTC can attach to and destroy cells carrying antigens Helper T cells 1. present antigen to CE cells and plasma B cells to activate them into action and 2. produe powerful immune protein called cytokins which can stimulate the lymphocyte cell disvision.
What is the effector response?
Effector response is the phenomenon that occurs after the immune system recognizes a foreign organism. A variety of cells and molecules are then recruited to mount an appropriate response to eliminate or neutralize the organism.
What effector cells are innervated by somatic motor neurons?
cardiac muscles and smooth muscle
