To review:
Match the term memory cells with the most closely related description given below:
Rapid secondary response.
Responsible for cell-mediated immunity,
Produce antibodies.
Aid in immune surveillance.
Contains developing T cells.
Immunoglobulins.
Responsible for antibody-mediated immunity.
Production of lymphocytes.
Saclike chamber of the thoracic duct.
Largest lymphatic organ in the body.
Introduction:
The B cells of the body forms the humoral immune response in the individual. The immature B cells on receiving the signals (for example from the helper T cells) differentiates into two different types of cells, namely, plasma and the memory B cells.

- What is Neuroglia ?arrow_forwardWhy do Schwann cells insulate nerves?arrow_forwardmultiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease in which the patient's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that form the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. what types of symptoms would you expect from such a disease? why? would Schwann cells or oligodendrocytes be affected? explainarrow_forward
- Match the neuroglia with the correct function: A. Satellite cells B. Schwann Cells C. Oligodendrocytes D. Ependymal E. Microglia F. Astrocytes 1. Cells that produce the myelin in the PNS. 2. Cells that produce myelin in the CNS 3. Phagocytes that dispose debris like dead brain cells and bacteria 4. Anchors and braces neurons with cellular projections 5. Cells have cilia that help circulate the cerebrospinal fluid 6. Cells help cushion and protect neurons in the PNS 7. Cells serve as a medium for diffusion between capillaries and neurons 8. Cells line cavities of the brain and spinal cordarrow_forwardDefine memory cells.arrow_forwardWhat are the two immune cells that are temporarily regulated in a peripheral injury response by CNS?arrow_forward
- A damaged axon in the PNS may be able to regenerate only if the cell body is intact. why do you think that the cell body must be intact for regeneration to occur?arrow_forwardName the outer covering of nerve fibres.arrow_forwardNeuroglia (a) conduct electrical impulses, (b) are nerve stem cells, (c) are support cells that aid neurons, (d) are an abnormal growth of neural tissue.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a mad scientist seeking to invent a death ray produces a beam that destroys a person’s ciliary, pterygopalatine, and submandibular ganglia (and nothing else). List all the signs that would be apparent in the victim. Would the victim die, or would the scientist have to go back to the laboratory to try again?arrow_forwardDescribe Presynaptic Mechanisms?arrow_forwardExplain the Growth of Neurons?arrow_forward
