What is formed in blood to fight antigens?
Antibodies and /or anti - antigen.
What forms in the blood to help fight invading antigens?
White blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, are responsible for helping to fight invading antigens in the blood. These cells produce antibodies that target and neutralize foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses. Additionally, white blood cells can mount an immune response to destroy these antigens and prevent infection.
Do blood types depend on marker molecules?
I believe all of the do EXCEPT for type O. that is why type O is the universal donator. the other bloodtypes have receptor proteins that can call out invading blood types that don't match by the receptors of the different blood. This results in the body attempting to reject and fight the invading blood. it can lead to death. Type O doesn't have receptors so the host blood type cant detect it. there is no rejection.
Does the connective tissue help your immune system?
Yes. Blood is considered to be a special connective tissue and it is how white blood cells are able to move through your body and help fight against antigens.
Which type of blood is the universal recipient?
A universal donor can donate to any blood type. The only universal donor is 0 negative because it doesn't have an antigens. Antigens are things that fight off foreign objects in your body, like white blood cells. A universal recipient can receive any type of blood. The only universal recipient is AB positive.
Which formed element is a leukocyte?
Leukocytes is another name for white blood cell. These formed elements fight infections and other "foreign" invaders. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
The virus that causes AIDS is damaging to the body because it?
targets cells that fight invading microbes
Does white blood cells kill bacteria?
Yes. There are 4 different types of white blood cells that fight infection. T-Lymphocytes: recognise foreign antigens and aid in destroying them granulocytes: white blood cells that contain granules of chemicals that aid in fighting infection monocytes: large white blood cells that become macrophages B-Lymphocytes: produce antibodies and remember antigens that casued infections in the past, or where artificaially acquired with memory, such as in vaccinations. Yes. That is one of their main jobs.
How do white blood cells get to the infection?
White blood cells can get to the site of infection through a process called chemotaxis, where they are attracted to the area by chemical signals released by the damaged tissues or invading pathogens. Once they reach the infection site, white blood cells can engulf and destroy the invading microorganisms to help fight the infection.
What prevents your body from accepting transfusions of certain types of blood?
Antibodies. They are designed to resist, or fight, specific types of antigens. Type AB has no antibodies, which is why they can receive any type of blood. Type A has B antibodies, which means it will fight type B blood as well as type AB. Type B has A antibodies, which means it will fight type A blood, as well as type AB. Type O has A and B antibodies, which is why it can only receive type O blood.
Why does a person with type b can only receive type b or type o blood?
Because the anti-bodies present in type-A blood will cause the patient's body to fight against the alien transfusion. Type O blood contains no antigens, and can be given to other blood-types.
How does the body fight reinfection shortly after it has recovered from the disease?
the antibodies remain in the blood after the infection and destroy the invading microorganisms quickly before they build up into large amounts
