How does complement kill foreign microbes?
by causing them to burst
A disorder caused by the body's exaggerated response to foreign chemicals and proteins is a?

Foreign invaders have proteins called?
antigens
Specialized globular proteins that attack foreign proteins and pathogens is known as what?
They are known as killer T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests foreign proteins/pathogens that enter the body. They work in conjunction with another type of white blood cell called Helper T cells which do the actual targeting of the pathogen/protein.
Function of recognition proteins?
they enable cells to communicate with one another. It is possible due to cellular adhesion molecules on the surface of the membrane. They also distinguish foreign cells from self cells.
The group of proteins that normally circulate in the blood in an inactive form and are activated by contact with nonspecific antigens such as foreign blood cells or bacteria?
complement
What group of proteins mark foreign invaders and attract phagocytes to destroy them?
B cells release antibodies that attach to foreign invaders and mark them for destruction by phagocytes.
What is complement system?
The complement system is a major system involved in destroying foreign substances, enhancing both innate and adaptive defenses. 30 blood proteins that circulate in inactive form and they release inflammatory chemicals which amplify all the inflammatory responses. This leads to bacteria and certain other cell types being killed by cell lysis.

What serves as antibodies?
Antibodies are antibodies. They are specific proteins known as immunoglobulins, that have a specific structure. They have an antigen binding region, called the Fab fragment, that is extremely variable, and a tail that binds to antibody receptors, called the Fc fragment that only has a handful of variations. The Fc tail defines what kind of antibody the protein is, (i.e. IgG, IgE, IgM, etc.). Other proteins can bind foreign bodies, the most important of which is the complement system.

How does the innate immune system interact with the adaptive immune system?
The complement system is a series of about 20 proteins that are involved in a cascade effect during an immune response. Complement is generally divided up into 3 pathways: classical, lectin, alternate. The classical pathway involves a complement protein binding to an antigen-antibody complex (and thus its role in adaptive immunity). Whereas in the alternate pathway, complement (C3) binds directly to the foreign cell( usaully bacteria). Thus its repsonse is non specific and therefore is also part of the innate imune system.
What combines with antibodies to dissolve foreign cells?
complement system cells

What is one result of this complement fixation is which appears in the membrane of the foreign cell?
Lesions
