Helper T cells
Specific immunological response?
adaptive immune response
What mobilizes the adaptive defenses and provokes an immune response?
Antigens
What part of the adaptive immune response involves B cells?
Humoral
What types of microbes do adaptive immune responses combat?

What is innate defenses mean?
recognizes all antigens ( anything that induces a specific and adaptive immune response)

Regional lymph nodes where they present to T cells, activating the adaptive immune response.
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.
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.
What immune response that involves T cells and B cells to attack viruses fungi organ transplants or cancer cells?
It is called the adaptive defense and consists of antibodies and lymphocytes, often called the humoral response.
What are three characteristics of the adaptive immune response?
