Degranulation Exam Questions Verified and Provided with Complete A+ Graded
Rationales Latest Updated 2026
Innate immunity
Built-in capacity of the immune system to target pathogens that are seeking to colonize the host
,Adaptive immunity
Acquired ability to recognize and destroy pathogens or their products
Competitive inhibition
Harmless microbes limit available nutrients and sites for infection
Tissue specificity
Organisms cannot colonize the host if the site is not compatible with the pathogen's nutritional
and metabolic needs
Lymphatic system
Circulatory system that drains lymph fluid from extravascular tissues
Lymph nodes
Contain high concentrations of immune system cells like lymphocytes
Diapedesis
Cells pass through a blood capillary to the lymph capillary and solutes are exchanged via this
process
Primary lymphoid organs
, Bone marrow and thymus are
Secondary lymphoid organs
Lymph nodes, spleen, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) are
Spleen
Filters damaged, malformed, or old red blood cells out of the circulatory system
Leukocytes
White blood cells. Includes lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes
Lymphocytes
White blood cells that include b cells and t cells
B cells
Lymphocytes that originates and mature in the bone marrow
T cells
Lymphocytes that originate in bone marrow and mature in the thymus
