What is clonal selection responsible for?
Clonal selection is responsible for the proliferation of clones of effector and memory cells specific for an encountered antigen
Cells that carry out a response to a stimulus are called?
effector
Memory B cells remember pathogens?
does memory b cells remember pathagens
How do prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells?
jh
How do transitional cells differ from epithelial cells?
They stretch
Where do immature T-cells mature into effector T-cells and memory T-cells?
thymus, which is a small organ that is located in the chest.
What is clonal selection responsible for?
Clonal selection is responsible for the proliferation of clones of effector and memory cells specific for an encountered antigen
How long do lymphocytes live?
What is the length of life for Lymphocytes?
Cells that carry out a response to a stimulus are called?
effector
Do memory cells aid the immune system?
YES! Memory cells, play a huge role in your immune system. While the primary response may not use memory cells, it does produce them, in the form of Memory B and Memory T cells.Memory B Cells have receptors for the antigen built into their membranes. When the antigen binds to these receptors, they activate the B cells. This causes the cell to undergo rapid divisions that produce more memory B cells and plasma cells (Effector B cells). The plasma cells go on to make antibodies to neutralize the pathogen, while the additional memory B cells can become activated and produce more plasma cells. This is called a humoral response.Memory T Cells work differently. These cells have a different type of receptor, that requires the antigen to be presented on an MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecule on an infected host cell. If an antigen for that receptor is encountered these cells can in turn activate Cytotoxic (killer/effector) T cells to destroy the host cell. This is call a cell mediated response.In short, memory cells are a vital part of you immune system that allow for a faster response the second time you get infected. This is why you don't feel sick the second time you get a cold.
Plasma cells develop from transformed b cells or t cells?
ativated B cells forms effector cells which are called plasma cells
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
What is the effector response?
Effector response is the phenomenon that occurs after the immune system recognizes a foreign organism. A variety of cells and molecules are then recruited to mount an appropriate response to eliminate or neutralize the organism.
What effector cells are innervated by somatic motor neurons?
cardiac muscles and smooth muscle
In the reflex arc the muscle or gland that responds to a motor impulse is called?
Effector. Memory Aid = The Effector really should be called the Effectee, since it's the one getting effected. Its cheesey but helped me memorize it...
What does humoral immunity involves?
The cells which are involved in the production of antibodies are known as B cells. These are effector cells which will secrete anybodies and activate the antigens.
What blood cell can become an antibody-secreting cell is?
The cell which can secret antibody are called B-Lymphocytes. Those cells are generally called as B-Cells.
