A protein produced by B lymphocytes (and plasma cells) that is specific to a given antigen.
Antibody
This lines the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body and the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs.
Epithial linings (epithelium)
Produce antibodies - 1 specific antibody
B cells
This system defends the body from infectious diseases
Immune system
Circulate in the blood and move into the body tissue in response to infection
Phagocytic leukocytes
The function of this system is involved in tissue repair and protection against potential pathogens.
Immune System

Lymphocyte
The entire class do the Wobble Dance

Everyone stand up and do the chicken dance.
These account for only 1% of your blood, are continually at war, and flow through the bloodstream to battle viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders that threaten your health.
Leukocytes
Response to injury as a result of different stimuli.
inflammation

phagocytic leukocytes, antimicrobial response, fever
Proteins that recognize foreign substances and attach themselves to them.
