What is the name give to Blood cells which are a part of the bodys defence against invading microbes?
Leukocytes, commonly known as White Blood Cells(WBC) are body's defence against invading microbes.
Which structure regulates passage of molecules into and out of cells?
The cell membrane is a membrane separating the inside of the cell from the outside environment. This structure is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane.
Fluid located in the spaces between the cells?
The fluid located in the space between the cells is known as extracellular fluid.
Which substance carries glucose from the small intestine to all the other cells in the body?
A process known as diffusion. The plasma in your blood.
Where in the cell can you find the cell membrane?
The Plasma Membrane (also known as Cell Surface Membrane) is found in cells of plants and animals.
What causes the body to produce antibodies?
B cells, about one-eighth of the circulating lymphocytes, mature into plasma cells. Plasma cells are responsible for the production and secretion of antibodies, soluble proteins that are also known as immunoglobulins.
What type of white blood cells make antibodies?
There are two types of white blood cell. The kind which secrete antibodies to kill microbes are called lymphocytes. The other type, which engulf microorganisms, are called phagocytes.*Specifically, the type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) that produces antibodies would be plasma cells. After a B cell (a type of lymphocyte) undergoes clonal selection, the result is the formation of a clone of B cells that consists of plasma cells and memory B cells. Plasma cells secrete antibodies and memory B cells do not secrete antibodies.
Which White blood cells that activate plasma cells?
Plasma Cells are, in fact White Blood Cells - they are a special group of Lymphocytes. Plasma Cells are also known as "Effector-B Cells" and are activated by the presence of antigens in the body
What is also known as B lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes play a role in body's natural defense. They are comprised of B cells and T cells. T cells are cellular mediators of immunity whereas B cells differentite into immunoglobulin-synthesizing plasma cells. If T cells are fighters, B cells like to 'prepare' by synthesizing antibodies to the invading antigens.
What is the protein or molecule that makes antibodies when you are sick called?
A type of white blood cell known as a lymphocyte create antibodies. Lymphocytes are further divided into T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer cells.
The cells known as lymphocytes?
secrete antibodies into blood and lymph fluids
What surrounds cells and it from its environment?
It's enclosed by a barrier known as plasma membrain.
The plasma cell produces thousands of antibodies per second What type of intracellular structure would you expect to be very prominent within the cell?
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) This is a membranous network of tubes and sacs. Smooth ER synthesizes lipids, processes toxins and drugs in the liver cells, and stores and releases calcium ions in muscle cells. Rough ER manufactures membranes, and ribosomes on its surface produce proteins that are secreted, inserted into membranes, or transported in vesicles to other organelles.
B cells are primarily activated by the activities of A antigens B macrophages C helper T cells D antibodies E plasma cells?
Antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes. An antibody is a class of proteins produced by B lymphocytes, sometimes known as B cells. To neutralize diseases or foreign substances like poisons, these antibodies bind to them. For instance, an antibody can attach to a virus, preventing it from infecting a healthy cell and spreading. B cells can enlist the aid of other cells in the fight against an infected cell. Central BioHub offers thousands of B cells collected from patients and healthy donors for research.

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.
The plasma membranes of all known cells are largely composed of what class of macromolecules?
lipids
What type of cell's have a cell membrane?
All cells have a cell memebrane. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
