== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Innate Immunity''' β The non-specific, immediate defense system that is present from birth. * '''Phagocyte''' β A type of cell (like a Macrophage) that "Eats" bacteria and dead cells. * '''Macrophage''' β The "Big Eater"; a large white blood cell that patrols tissues and alerts the rest of the immune system. * '''Neutrophil''' β The most common white blood cell; they are short-lived "Soldiers" that rush to the site of an infection. * '''Natural Killer (NK) Cell''' β A specialized cell that can detect and kill your own cells if they have become infected by a virus or turned into cancer. * '''Inflammation''' β The process of redness, heat, swelling, and pain used to bring more immune cells to an injured area. * '''Cytokine''' β A chemical "Signal" used by immune cells to talk to each other. * '''The Complement System''' β A group of proteins in the blood that can "Punch holes" in the shells of bacteria. * '''PAMPs (Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns)''' β The generic "Molecules of Danger" that innate cells are programmed to recognize. * '''Dendritic Cell''' β The "Messenger" cell that eats a germ and then carries its parts to the Adaptive system to "Train" them. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
