Introduction to Cells of the Immune System definitions Flashcards

Guard cells in the immune system that detect invading microbes using censoring systems.

Cells that eliminate identified microbes, acting as security soldiers in the immune response.

The process of developing blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.

Cells in the bone marrow that differentiate into common myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cells.

A cell type derived from hematopoietic stem cells that differentiates into various blood cells.

A cell type derived from hematopoietic stem cells that differentiates into lymphocytes.

Red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.

Cell fragments important for blood clotting, derived from myeloid progenitor cells.

White blood cells crucial for the immune system, divided into granulocytes and agranulocytes.

A group of leukocytes including neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.

A group of leukocytes including lymphocytes such as T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells.

Lymphocytes part of innate immunity, responsible for destroying infected or cancerous cells.

Lymphocytes part of adaptive immunity, involved in cell-mediated immune responses.

Lymphocytes part of adaptive immunity, responsible for producing antibodies.

Molecules on sentinel cells that detect microbial components and initiate immune responses.
