▶ Nonspecific or Innate Immunity . Answer: 1st and 2nd lines of defense
▶ Specific or Adaptive Immunity . Answer: 3rd line of defense
▶ 1st line of defense . Answer: Barriers: Skin, Mucous Membranes, Gastric
juices, Normal Flora, and Cilia

▶ Cycle of Infection . Answer: Pathogens, Reservoir, Portal of Exit, Mode
of Transmission, Portal of Entry, Host B
▶ B-Cells . Answer: Responsible for production of antibodies, can clone
themselves to tag antigens, can become memory B-cells to remember
antigen(pathogen)
