1.
immune system that includes physical protective barriers and variety of leukocytes
2.
tiny hairs that line the nose, trachea, bronchi and lungs
4.
granulocyte which releases cytotoxic granules - dyes pink.
5.
antigen-presenting cells that phagocytose pathogens and present them to T-cells. Known for their unusual shape.
6.
derived from monocytes and stimulate inflammation via cytokine release
7.
leukocytes that engulf and digest pathogens and debris
8.
releases high levels of ROS by phagocytes to kill pathogens in a ‘burst’.
9.
acidic vesicle that contains enzymes like proteases. They play a key role in phagocytosis, but can also transport enzymes out of the cell via exocytosis.
10.
enhances uptake of pathogens by proteins binding to them to induce phagocytosis
11.
released especially by mast cells to fight allergens.
