Question
**Match Each Nickname with the Cell and Briefly Explain Why** | **CELL** | **NICKNAME** | |------------------|---------------------------------------------| | Dendritic cell | Pac-Man | | Lymph node | Desk sergeant/dispatch officer | | CD₄ T cells | Factory | | CD₈ T cells | Activatable chemical warfare unit | | B cells | Product design and building company | | Plasma cells | Billboard display | | Mast cells | Cop on the beat/patrol officer | | Neutrophils | Police department | | | Trash collector | **Explanations:** - **Dendritic Cell - Pac-Man:** Like the video game character that "eats" dots, dendritic cells are known for engulfing pathogens and presenting antigens, which initiates an immune response. - **Lymph Node - Desk Sergeant/Dispatch Officer:** Lymph nodes coordinate immune responses much like dispatch officers manage information and direct personnel accordingly. - **CD₄ T Cells - Factory:** These cells organize and facilitate the immune response, akin to a factory producing necessary components. - **CD₈ T Cells - Activatable Chemical Warfare Unit:** These T cells can become "active" attackers, eliminating infected cells. - **B Cells - Product Design and Building Company:** B cells design antibodies that specifically target pathogens. - **Plasma Cells - Billboard Display:** Plasma cells "display" antibodies, releasing them into the bloodstream to mark pathogens. - **Mast Cells - Cop on the Beat/Patrol Officer:** They patrol tissues, releasing chemicals like histamine in response to threats. - **Neutrophils - Police Department:** They act as a rapid response force, targeting and destroying bacteria and fungi. - **Trash Collector:** This could be an implied reference to macrophages, known for cleaning up cellular debris and pathogens.
