Lymphocytes and plasma
Lymphocytes and plasma:
Plasma cells are nothing but fully functional B lymphocytes. These are mainly involved in the production of antibodies.
Lymphoid cells are responsible for the production of immunity. These cells are part of lymphoid tissue and consist of following types of cells:
(1) Lymphocytes: These are white blood cells also known as leukocytes. These cells provide immune response against harmful foreign substances (antigens).
(2) T-cells (T-lymphocytes): These cells originate from bone marrow and mature in the thymus gland. T-cells attack those body cells invaded by pathogens or cancerous cells to protect the body.
T-cells are of two types: (i) Helper T-cells help to coordinate the immune system of the body.
(ii) Cytotoxic T-cells breakdown pathogens that attack cells.
(3) B-cells (B-lymphocytes): These cells originate and mature in the bone marrow. These cells encounter harmful pathogens and release plasma cells and memory cells.
(i) Plasma cells produce antibodies that attack and inactivate harmful pathogens.
(ii) Memory cells produce additional antigens to provide more protection to the body.
(4) Macrophages: These are enlarged monocytes (white blood cells). These cells engulf microbes and harmful particles.
(5) Reticular cells: These cells form networks of reticular fibers made from collagen and glycoprotein’s. Lymphocytes and other cells reside within those networks.

immunology: Indicate what step is correct (Select all that apply) Lymphocytes travel through the body in the lymph as well as the blood Lymphocytes leave the blood through the walls of fine capillaries in 2ry lymphoid organs After spending some time in the LN, lymphocytes leave in the efferent lymph Lymphocytes return to blood at the subclavian vein A lymphocyte after encounter an antigen to which its receptor binds, stops recirculating. The spleen has no connection to the lymphatic system...
Immune system (select the BEST CORRECT statement) When activated by an antigen, B lymphocytes undergo clonal expansion and give rise to both memory cells and plasma cells. Secreted antibody molecules are derived from B cell receptors through an alternative splicing mechanism that removes the receptor’s transmembrane domain. Although B cell receptors are expressed on the surface of B lymphocytes, they function in the tethering and trapping of foreign antigens and are not linked to intracellular signaling cascades. All of the...
Question 22 1 pts How do naïve and mature lymphocytes differ? Mature lymphocytes cannot bind to antigens Naive lymphocytes can differentiate to become either B or T cells; Mature lymphocytes are cells that have made that decision and cannot switch back. O Mature lymphocytes have not encountered an antigen before Nalve lymphocytes have not encountered an antigen before Naive lymphocytes cannot bind to antigens

Question 16 1 pts Most lymphocytes are characterized as taking part in adaptive immunity, but one class of lymphocytes is named "Innate Lymphocyte." Why? Innate lymphocytes require antigen binding to function Innate lymphocytes are active in the skin and mucous membranes Innate lymphocytes don't require antigen binding to function Innate lymphocytes are always active Innate lymphocytes participate in general responses that are the same for every pathogen
If an antigen mutates, will the same lymphocytes recognize it? Why or why not? 5. HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) specifically targets the helper T-lymphocytes, causing the destruction of these cells. Given the role of helper T-lymphocytes, why does this disease increase a person’s susceptibility to infectious diseases?
