Summary Introduction
Introduction: Immunity is the process of defense performed by an individual’s body in response to a foreign agent that invades the body. Innate immunity is a kind of immunity that is seen in individuals from birth. All animals possess innate immunity that is their first line of defense against any antigen. Adaptive immunity develops after encountering infectious agents.

- Lymphocytes that develop immunocompetence in the thymus are __________lymphocytes. We put everything in our mouth since our childhood. Therefore our mouth is full of live bacteria. These bacteria are potentially dangerous if they cross our gut wall into our blood circulation. Fortunately we are protected from them by our gut's mucosal lining and the cells (macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T lymphocytes) in the lymphoid tissue called [a] (enter two words). This structure play a crucial role for the development of food tolerance or food [b] (enter one word), coeliac disease and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.arrow_forwardThey type of acquired immunity that results from the inoculation of immune serum is called: a. natural acquired passive b. naturally acquired active c. artificial acquired active d. artificial acquired passivearrow_forwardSuppose a person recovers normally from viral infections, but then gets the same viral infections over and over again- unlike the rest of us.
