Answer to Question 1

1

Answer to Question 2

Phagocytes. These scavenger cells travel throughout the body and are the first to defend body tissues against invaders. When a phagocyte recognizes a foreign particle, such as a bacterium, the phagocyte forms a pocket, engulfing the invader. The phagocytes may then attack the invader with an oxidative burst or may otherwise digest or destroy it. Phagocytes also leave a chemical trail that helps other immune cells to find the infection and join the defense.
T-cells. Killer T-cells are lymphocytes that read and remember the chemical messages put forth by phagocytes to identify invaders. The killer T-cells then seek out and destroy all foreign particles having the same identity. T-cells defend against fungi, viruses, parasites, some bacteria, and some cancer cells. They also pose a formidable obstacle to a successful organ transplant because T-cells attack the foreign organ. Another group, helper T-cells, does not attack invaders directly but helps other immune cells to do so.
B-cells
. B-cells respond rapidly to infection by dividing and releasing invader-fighting proteins, antibodies, into the bloodstream. Antibodies travel to the site of the infection and stick to the surface of the foreign particles, killing or inactivating them. Like T-cells, B-cells retain a chemical memory of each invader, and if the encounter recurs, the response is swift.
