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 part of the adaptive immune response involves B cells?
Humoral
What is the component of adaptive immune system?
Lymphocytes(T and B cells)
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
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
Are toll-like receptors considered part of the innate immune system or the adaptive immune system?
Toll-like receptors are part of the innate immune system.
