T cells are made in the red bone marrow but specialize into t cells outside the marrow in the thymus, hence the T in Tcells. two types of t cells are cytotoxic effector cells and helper t cells.
think of cytotoxic t cells as the drunk guy in the bar that wants to fight everyone (and is a good fighter by the way) and the helper t cells are the friends who show him who to fight and provides him with the weapons to fight.
CTC can attach to and destroy cells carrying antigens
Helper T cells 1. present antigen to CE cells and plasma B cells to activate them into action and
2. produe powerful immune protein called cytokins which can stimulate the lymphocyte cell disvision.
What else can I help you with?
How are tumor cells cells from normal cells?
They divide infinitely without slopping. So they increase in size
What kind of tumor is an abnormal mass of essentially normal cells?
A benign tumor is an abnormal mass of essentially normal cells that does not spread to other parts of the body.
What is a dense mass of abnormal cells called?
A mass of abnormal cells is a tumor. Sometimes this is cancer and sometimes not.
What happens when the cells reproduce out of control?
When cells reproduce out of control, it can lead to the formation of a mass of cells called a tumor. If the tumor is benign, it is not cancerous and typically does not spread to other parts of the body. However, if the tumor is malignant, it is cancerous and can invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis.
How does a natural killer cell defend the body against infection?
Natural killer cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly kill infected cells and tumor cells. They promote the immune response by releasing chemicals that attract other immune cells to the site of infection. By targeting and destroying infected cells, natural killer cells help the body eliminate pathogens and limit the spread of infection.
What protects the body destroys bacteria and tumor cells?
antibodies
What type of therapy that destroys cells by injecting anticancer drugs directly into the affected tissue?
The type of therapy that destroys cells by injecting anticancer drugs directly into the affected tissue is called intratumoral chemotherapy. It is a localized treatment approach that aims to target and kill cancer cells within a specific tumor site. This method can be effective in reducing tumor size and preventing cancer spread.
How are tumor cells different cells?
Mitosis is not regulated in tumor cells
How are tumor cells different from normal cells?
Cell division is not regulated in tumor cells.
What is the medical term meaning tumor of immature bone cells?
An osteoblastoma is a tumor of immature bone cells.
What is the medical term meaning compression of surrounding cells by the tumor cells?
The medical term for compression of surrounding cells by tumor cells is "mass effect." This occurs when a tumor grows and displaces nearby tissues or organs, causing them to become compressed or distorted. It can lead to various symptoms depending on the location and size of the tumor.
How do maligant tumor cells differ to benige tumor cells?
Malignant tumor cells are cancerous, tend to grow rapidly, spread to other parts of the body, and can be life-threatening. Benign tumor cells are non-cancerous, grow slowly, do not invade nearby tissues, and are typically not life-threatening.
Can brain tumor cells transit through blood vessels?
Some can, not all. If the tumor contains cells that can it will metastasize.
What tumor cells travel to another part of the body and form a new tumor what is the process called?
Metastasis
What is the technical term for a lump of cancerous cells?
It is called as malignant tumor.
What is the medical term meaning mass of tissue made of the diseased cells during cancer?
A mass of diseased cells is a tumor.
What is the medical term meaning benign tumor made up of mature fat cells?
A lipoma is a benign tumor of fat cells.
