- 1Lymphocytesspecific white blood cells
- 2Phagocytesnon-specific white blood cells,e.g. macrophage
- 3Immune Responsebody's reaction to a foreign antigen
- 4T-Lymphocyte (T-Cell)types of WBC whose membrane are covered with receptors
- 5T-Killer Cells (Cytotoxic T-cells)search for and attack pathogens and infected cells
- 6B Lymphocyte (B-cell)WBC type, covered in antibodies and can bind to antigens to form the antibody-antigen complex
- 7Passive Immunityintroduction of antibodies into individuals from an outside source
- 8Active Immunitystimulating the production of antibodies by the individuals' own immune system
- 9Natural Active Immunityindividual becoming infected with a disease by normal circumstances
- 10Vaccinationintroduction of the appropriate disease antigens into the body
- 11Artificial Active Immunityinducing an immune response in an individual without them suffering the symptoms of the disease
- 12Herd Immunityas many people as possible are vaccinated in a population to make it difficult for the pathogen to spread
- 13Monoclonal Antibodyan antibody produced by a single clone of cells
- 14Human Chorionic Gonadatrophin (HCG)hormone made by a mother around 4 days after conception
- 15Plasma Cellsidentical to the B-cell they are dividing from
