The hormones secreted by the thymus are called?
The gland produces thymosins, which are hormones that stimulate the development of antibodies. The thymus also produces T-lymphocytes which are white blood cells that fight infections and destroy abnormal cells.
Protects the body destroys bacteria and tumor cells?
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 does the t cells and b cells do?
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
Are cytotoxic T cells a type of T cell clone?
Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.
What does T in T cells stand for?
The T in T-cells stands for the thymus gland. Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow are either become B-cells or they are matured in the thymus gland and are "trained" to be either Natural Killer T-cells, CD4 (Helper T-cells), CD8 (Suppressor T-cells).
What gland produces hormones that stimulate the production of T-cells?
Thymus gland
What gland produces hormones that stimulate the production T cells?
Thymus gland
Which chemicals are secreted by T-helper cells to stimulate b-plasma cells to divide?
These chemicals are called CYTOKINES.
How do helper T cells contribute to the body's defense against pathogens?
Helper T cells help to activate T-cytotoxic cells and B-cells. For instance, if you become infected with a pathogen, a macrophage can consume that pathogen and then present parts of it on its own MHC (Major Histocompatability Complex) receptors. T helper cells then detect this and if this is a pathogen previously encountered, it can stimulate T-cytotoxic cells to begin attacking infected cells, and stimulate B-memory cells to begin rapidly dividing into B-plasma cells to produce anitbodies.
What substances do T cells produce to destroy cells infected by a virus?
T cells recognize these proteins and produce certain substances (cytokines) that destroy the infected cells.

Helper T cells help to activate T-cytotoxic cells and B-cells.

T helper cells then detect this and if this is a pathogen previously encountered, it can stimulate T-cytotoxic cells to begin attacking infected cells, and stimulate B-memory cells to begin rapidly dividing into B-plasma cells to produce anitbodies.
Do T lymphocytes stimulate B lymphocyte production?
Specific response - 2 main types (cell mediated and antibody mediated immunity) may accompany or follow non specific reactions e.g. inflamation, but both rely on the actions of B and T lyphocytes. B cells make protein antibodies (gammaglobulins) that react against foreign proteins (antigens). T cells multiply and attack the pathogen. Cell Mediated Immunity - once a T cell recognises an antigen it multiplies rapidly. Helper T cells activate B cells to make antibodies, macrophages engulf the microbes along with any debris. Killer T cells attack the microbes and any infected body cells using strong powerful proteins (lymphokines). Suppressor T cells inhibit the response of other cells to the invading nicrobes.
Lack of reactivity of T cells and B cells to your own proteins is know as what?
Tolerance of self-antigens.
How does white blood cells fight cells help us fight diseases?
Chuck Norris round house kicks them. Can you stanky legg?
Why dont blood cells and antibodies from the immune system try to destroy the toxic prion proteins?
prions are refolded versions of normal proteins, so the B and T cells see them as "normal" and thus ignore them.
Specialized globular proteins that attack foreign proteins and pathogens is known as what?
They are known as killer T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests foreign proteins/pathogens that enter the body. They work in conjunction with another type of white blood cell called Helper T cells which do the actual targeting of the pathogen/protein.
What hormones are produced by thymus gland?
The hormones the thymus produces are:o TF - thymic factoro Thymosino THF - thymic humoral factoro Thymopoietin.These hormones stimulate the development and maturation of white blood cells which are called T cells.thymosin
