Do white blood cells initiate the clotting process?
No, platelets and factors in the plasma are responsible for clotting. White blood cells mediate immunity.
Distinguish between natural immunity and artificial immunity?
Natural immunity occurs through contact with a disease. There are two types of natural immunity. Actively acquired and passively acquired. Actively acquired - When the body has already experience an infection by that pathogen Passively acquired - Antibodies pass across placenta providing a newborn baby with immunity against disease. Antibodies are also present in breatsmilk. Artificial immunity develops through delibereate action such as vaccine. There are two types: Actively acquired and passively acquired Actively acquired - This is by vaccination at a suitable time in the person's life, not when they are infected. eg TB vaccine Passively acquired - The vaccine contains ready-made antibodies which provide immediate relief by destroying the antigens. This is given when the person has been infected with the antigen and has no preivous immunity eg tetanus
What Type of t cells are involved in cellular immunity?
red blood cells
What do white blood cells do to develop immunity from pathogens?
have sex
What is red blood cells responsible for?
they are responsible for running blood through your body
What are the blood cell?
White blood cells ( WBC), Red blood cells( RBC), and finally platelets. White blood cells are the cells that are responsible for the immunity of the cells, while red blood cells contain the oxygen containing pigment heamoglobin, and platelets are fragments of cells that are responsible for clotting.
Do white blood cells initiate clotting process?
No, platelets and factors in the plasma are responsible for clotting. White blood cells mediate immunity.
Two blood cells chiefly responsible for the acquired immune response?
Lymphocytes
Do white blood cells initiate the clotting process?

What are The cells directly responsible for cellular immunity?
White blood cells, more specifically B-lymphocytes.
What cells responsible for immunity?
tea helps fight off infections as well as gut bacteriatea helps fight off infections as well as gut bacteria
What are blood cells involved in immunity?
T cells
What are the cells in blood?
Three maion cells are: -Red Blood Cells (carries CO2 away) -White Blood Cells (fights infections by making antibodies) -Platelets (Form scabs and blood clots) They are all suspended in the plasma which carries the Oxygen.
What type of blood cell is responsible for immunity?
Specific immunity is also known as adaptive immunity or acquired immunity active or passive. There are two types of specific immune responses; humoral and cell mediated. Humoral immunity is mediated by B Lymphocytes that produce antibodies; forms of B lymphocytes are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE. They primarily attach bacterial invaders Cellular immunity is mediated by T Lymphocytes and combat intracellular infections (such as viruses), monitor cellular disruptions like tumors or foreign tissues, and fight fungal infections.
What cells types are specifically responsible for cell mediated immunity?
The b cells are specifically responsible for cell mediated immunity.
What are t cells responsible for?
Cell-mediated immunity.
