|
What is the function of white blood cells?
protect body against infection, attack and destroy bacteria
|
What is the sequence of the inflammatory process?
Vascular response, Cellular response, Tissue repair and replacement
|
What is an autoimmune disease?
when the immune system attacks the body's own cells
|
What is natural acquired active immunity?
Immunity that the body learns to make or receive, immunity through infection with the antigen. Ex. Chicken Pox
