Hormones are biological chemicals that are found in plants and animals. Hormones are produced by living cells.
They are used to send messages to other cells. These messages can be sent to nearby cells or to far-away cells. If a cell wants to send a message to a nearby cell, it puts the hormone into the tissue around it. If an animal's cell a message to a far-away cell, it puts the hormone into the blood. When a hormone is put in the blood it goes to all parts of the animal's body. Sometimes the cell that gets the message can even be the same cell that made the hormone (and sent the message.)
The cell or tissue that gets the message is called the target cell.
Many different kinds of cells can send a message. There are some kinds of cells whose main job is to make hormones. When many of these cells are together in one place, it is called a gland. Glands are groups of cells that make something and release it (put it outside the cell). Some glands make hormones.
Endocrine means something that is made by cells and released into the blood or tissue. So endocrine glands form hormones and release them into the blood or tissue. The opposite word is exocrine and means released outside of the body. An example of exocrine is sweat glands or saliva glands. When people say endocrine they usually mean glands that make hormones.

What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
What medical term specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to specific antigens?
all wbc produce antibodies to attach the the pathogens antigens.
When germs enter the body what are antibodies produced by?
Antibodies are produced by B cells, which are a type of white blood cell. When germs enter the body, B cells are activated to produce specific antibodies that can help target and neutralize the invading germs.
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 are B cells plasma cells and antibodies a part of?
B cells, plasma cells, and antibodies are all part of the immune system. B cells are a type of white blood cell that produce antibodies when activated by antigens. Plasma cells are a mature form of B cells that secrete large amounts of antibodies. Antibodies are proteins produced by B cells that help to neutralize pathogens and foreign substances in the body.
Which cells are important in preventing a disease from recurring?
White blood cells produce antibodies to diseases. The antibodies enter the bloodstream and prevent a specific disease from recurring. One type of white blood cells, called B cells, manufacture and release the antibodies. Another type, called T cells, does the job of penetrating the infected cells so that the antibodies can do their work.
These white blood cells produce antibodies to fight microbes?
B Lymphocytes
What white blood cells produce antibodies and function in the immune response?
There are 5 different types of white blood cells and all produce antibodies as a function of immune response. The five types are neutrophils, esoinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. They all respond to different threats to our body's health.
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
What medical term specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to specific antigens?
all wbc produce antibodies to attach the the pathogens antigens.
What are specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to destory specific antigens?
plasma cells
A person with type A blood has antibodies to?
Type A blood will produce antibodies against B antigens.
Can kidneys release antibodies?
No, Kidneys only filter waste from the blood. Antibodies are made by special kinds of white blood cells to.
What wraps around harmful bacteria and produce antibodies to combat diseases?
white blood cells
What makes antibodies in the body?
Yes, by certain white cells in the blood. Some of these cells produce free floating antibodies while others present their antibodies on their surface receptors. These different systems fight infection by different kinds of organisms.
A blood cell that fights disease?
White blood cells produce antibodies against a virus so you don't get it again.
What are specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies coded to destroy specific antigens?
the B-cells.
