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.

Which type of blood cell is responsible for thrombus formation?
A fragment of a blood cell called a megokaryocte, is responsible for blood clotting. This fragment is called a platelet.
What type of transport is responsible for oxygen entering into blood cell?
the answer to apex is passive.
What is the role of T cells in a human body?
T cells are part of the adaptive immunity. There are two major types of T cells: CD4+ T helper cells and CD8+ T cytotoxic cells. T helper cells primarily function in humoral immunity whereas T cytotoxic cells are important in cell mediated immunity. T helper cells produce cytokines to activate other immune system components like macrophages, B cells, etc. whereas T cytotoxic cells primarily kill infected cells.
What shape are blood cells?
It depends on d type of cell;white blood cell and blood platelets are amoeboid in shape;red blood cell is round and biconcave in shape
What type of blood cell has the lowest percentage in a blood cell?
The plasma has the lowest percentage of the component in our body.
Which type of blood cell is responsible for thrombus formation?
A fragment of a blood cell called a megokaryocte, is responsible for blood clotting. This fragment is called a platelet.
Which element provides immunity in your body?
There is no one element which provides immunity in the human body. The human immune system is complex and relies on a huge number of factors, which are maintained by a varied and normal diet. If you mean element in terms of object or item, the white blood cell is the main type of cell responsible for maintaining immunity. However, there are a number of types of white cell, and indeed a variety of other substances such as free C-reactive proteins in the blood which mediate immunity.
Which of the formed elements is responsible for your blood type?
The red blood cells (erythrocytes) are responsible for your blood type. Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of proteins on the red blood cell membrane.
Which type of blood cell is responsible for gas exchange in the circulating blood?
red blood cells
Which blood cell type is responsible for the general inflammatory response?
neutrophils
Which type of blood cell has a major role in immunity to infectious disease?
White blood cell (WBC) has a major role. It fights with the germs of infections in the body.
What is the role of cells in the human body?
T cells are a type of lymphocyte in the body that are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Basically this means they are not antibodies but are responsible for activation of phagocytes to fight off diseases.
Which type of wbc provides immunity by producing antibodies?
Yes, Lymphocytes are responsible for immunity. But if you take dabur chyawanprash will definietly help you in improving immunity.
B cells and T cells are two types of?
B cells and T cells are two types of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell found in cell mediated immunity.
Do red blood cells produce anitbodies?
No. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. Antibodies are produced by a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell.
What type of transport is responsible for oxygen entering into blood cell?
the answer to apex is passive.
What is the type of lymphocyte involved in nonspecific immunity?
natural killer cell
