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.

Development of a secondary immune response is based on populations of?
memory cells
What gives a rise to plasma cells during primary immune response?
B-cells differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells in the primary immune response. The memory cells then produce antibodies.In the secondary, memory cells created in the primary differentiate into plasma cells and secrete antibodies immediately. This is a much faster response, explaining why the secondary response causes a person to suffer less or unnoticeably.
Following a primary immune response the cells that give rise to memory cells are?
Both B cells and T cells
Why is it adaptive for memory cells to remain in the immune system after an invasion by pathogens?
As a result of memory cells, on exposure to a second infection by the pathogen the response will be quicker and stronger.
Does the immune system have memory cells?
Yes immune system have memory cells. they flow around the blood.
Which cell types initiate a secondary immune response?
Memory cells
Development of a secondary immune response is based on populations of?
memory 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 are long lived b cell clone members that do not become plasma cells but are capable of an immune response against the same antigen at a later time called?
Memory Cells
After the first exposure to an antigen what carries the record of the exposure in the body?
Memory B cells and memory T cells carry the record of the first exposure to an antigen in the body. These cells are generated during the initial immune response and remain in the body to provide a faster and stronger immune response upon re-exposure to the same antigen.
The immune cell that allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response is called an?
The immune cell that allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response is called a memory cell. Memory cells are small, long-lived lymphocytes.
Does the immune system have memory cells?
Yes immune system have memory cells. they flow around the blood.
What are response cells?
Response cells are cells that respond to the immune system and react to diseases.
Explain how the cells of the immune system evoke and maintain an immune response?
Chuck Norris evokes and maintains an immune response.
