What else can I help you with?
What is an adaptive immune system?
An adaptive immune system is a series of specialized, systemic cells and processes which remove or counter pathogenic growth.
Which structure is not a component of the adaptive immune system?
tissues
What types of microbes do adaptive immune responses combat?
The adaptive immune system was developed in higher vertebrates to combat pathogens and antigens. These can include viruses, bacteria, and anything else that can cause the immune system to launch an immune response.
Which cell of the immune system is absolutely required for an adaptive immune response?
T helper cells
What mobilizes the adaptive defenses and provokes an immune response?
Antigens
What does it mean to say that the adaptive immune response has "memory"?
When we say the adaptive immune response has "memory," it means that the immune system can remember specific pathogens it has encountered before. This allows the immune system to respond more quickly and effectively if the same pathogen enters the body again in the future.
What immune system is activated if the innate immune system is unable to control the infection?
The adaptive immune system is activated if the innate immune system is unable to control the infection.
Which system in the body does HIV damage?
Acquired Immune System or Adaptive immune System
What part of the adaptive immune response involves B cells?
Humoral
What is the component of adaptive immune system?
Lymphocytes(T and B cells)
What is the function of Dendritic cells and macrophages in the lymph nodes?
Dendritic cells and macrophages play crucial roles in the immune response within lymph nodes. Dendritic cells act as antigen-presenting cells, capturing and processing antigens from pathogens and then presenting them to T cells to initiate an adaptive immune response. Macrophages help in phagocytosing pathogens and debris, while also presenting antigens to T cells, thereby facilitating the activation and differentiation of these immune cells. Together, they orchestrate the immune response by enhancing communication and coordination between innate and adaptive immune systems.
Which cell of the immune system is absolutely required for an adaptive immune response in that it helps activate both humoral and cellular immune responses?
Helper T cells
