The immune reaction, also known as an immune response, is the body's defense mechanism against pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. It involves the activation of immune cells, the production of antibodies, and the release of signaling molecules called cytokines. This complex process helps identify and eliminate the invading threats, while also establishing immunological memory for future encounters.

What is Another name for specific defense system?
The specific defense system is also known as the acquired immune system.
What is the study of the immune system known as?
The study of the immune system is known as immunology. It focuses on understanding how the immune system functions, how it protects the body from pathogens, and how it can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes.
In a reaction in which KCI plus Na yields NaCI plus K the reaction is referred to as a what?
The reaction is referred to as a double displacement reaction, also known as a metathesis reaction, where the cations and anions of two compounds switch places to form new compounds.
Name a reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product?
A synthesis reaction, also known as a combination reaction, is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
What is a fusion reaction also known as?
Since they do not exist yet I do not believe they have any other names. Fusion does exist in nature so a sun or star could be considered a fusion reactor.
What type of immunity has the properties of specificity and memory?
Acquired immunity (also known as adaptive immunity) This immune reaction is quite fast due to the immune memory.
What is the same as hypersensitivity?
Hypersensitivity is also known as allergic reaction, exaggerated immune response, or allergic sensitivity.

What is the name of a surface membrane molecule that causes an immune reaction?
Antigens are surface membrane molecules that cause an immune reaction.
What is the blood cell protein that elicits an immune reaction?
The protein that elicits an immune reaction in blood cells is called an antigen. Antigens are typically foreign substances that trigger an immune response when they are detected by the immune system.
What is Another name for specific defense system?
The specific defense system is also known as the acquired immune system.
What major virus can your immune system not fight?
HIV, also known as AIDS.
Is hives an opportunistic infection?
Hives, also known as urticaria, are not considered an opportunistic infection. Instead, they are a skin reaction characterized by raised, itchy welts and can result from various triggers, including allergies, stress, or medications. Opportunistic infections typically occur in individuals with weakened immune systems, whereas hives are an immune response that can affect anyone, regardless of their immune status.
Is your immune system weakened after a blood transfusion?
Transfusion reaction may also cause a hypersensitivity of the immune system that, in turn, may cause tissue damage within the patient's body.
What is the type of cell that turns off the immune reaction?
The cells, known as T-regulatory cells type 1 (Tr1), are thought to turn off unnecessary immune reactions and to block the action of immune cells that otherwise would attack the body and cause dangerous inflammation.
The light independent reaction are also known as the?
the Calvin cycle
