Why is the action of phagocytes considered a nonspecific response?
It is not involved with the production of any specific type of lymphocyte
Which type of immunity defends against any type of invader?
Nonspecific
Are T and b cells are two types of phagocytes?
No, T and B cells are not phagocytes. T cells are a type of lymphocyte involved in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are another type of lymphocyte responsible for producing antibodies. Phagocytes are a different type of immune cell that engulf and digest pathogens.
What is the difference between a lymphocyte and a macrophage?
B lymphocytes secrete free antibodies, which provide immunity to virusesT lymphocytes are coated with bound antibodies, they provide immunity to foreign cellsmacrophages generally eat debris, but when activated by lymphocytes they concentrate on eating whatever matches the type of antibody the lymphocyte makes
Is a mast cell a lymphocyte or a phagocyte?
A mast cell is not a lymphocyte or a phagocyte. It is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, particularly in allergies and anaphylaxis, by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators.
Type of leukocyte?
Lymphocyte
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 part of the immune system can most effectively eliminate influenza virus that has infected body cells?
We call this type of immunity adaptive---> natural----> active immunity. Here how it works: Adaptive immunity involves two classes of lymphocyte: B cells and T cells which work together in a coordinated system of adaptive immunity B cells-antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity T cells-cell-mediated (cellular) immunity Adaptive immunity occurs in a series of stages 1. Recognition of antigen (flu virus) 2. Activation of lymphocytes 3. Effector phase (immune attack) 4. Decline of antigen causes lymphocyte death (homeostatic balance) 5. Memory cells remain for later response if needed
What cell type is formed in lymphoid tissue?
Lymphocyte
Which cell type is essential to the immune response?
lymphocyte
The type of white blood cell that produces antibodies?
A type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte, or more specifically a B lymphocyte produces antibodies.
What type of immunity produces antibodies?
specific immunity
