The very first protective force of the immune system __________.

__________ are one of the earliest immune cells to arrive and respond to a new infection.

Some cells, like __________, will consume a pathogen, break down its parts into small pieces, and then present those pieces to other immune cells to help find specific cells that will be able to recognize and bind to the pathogen.

Proteins called __________ are able to bind very specifically to certain structures on the outside of a cell and/or pathogen.

In the textbox below, insert images of your completed graphic organizer.

DO NOT upload a file, please insert images into the textbox. You can do this by clicking the blue "+" sign on the right side of the textbox and choose "Image". Click and drag the image to resize it so it is big enough to clearly be able to see/read your writing.

it conducts both endocrine and exocrine function
it secretes hormones that control many other glands
it does not produce hormones, but it does send signals to other cells telling them when to produce hormones
it is not considered a real endocrine gland, because it is part of the brain
it is the largest gland
it is the only gland in the endocrine system to produce hormones
[MARK ALL THAT APPLY!]

Mark all TRUE statements below!
Endocrine glands are all located in the abdomen.
Hormones are substances secreted by cells that act to regulate the activities of other cells in the body.
Hormones play important roles in some of the feedback loops our bodies use to maintain homeostasis.
All humans have the same endocrine glands as one another.
Some hormones are amino-acid based, while others are steroid-based.
A hormone carries one signal that has the same effect in all of the cells that receive the signal.
Most glands that secrete hormones are considered to be part of the integumentary system.
lack of development of typical male reproductive characteristics
pineal
chronically high blood sugar levels
pituitary
lack of expected general growth and development
thyroid
very low rate of metabolism (breaking down food to absorb nutrients is slower than normal)
testes
One role of helper T cells is to stimulate B cells to continue producing antibodies.
Macrophages tend to respond to a new infection before B cells respond to that infection.
Macrophages can "eat" (ingest) many bacteria in a relatively short time period.
After an infection is dealt with, many of the responding immune cells will die.
