T cells detect viruses. There are two kinds of T cells - killer T cells and helper T cells. Killer T Cells go to the antigen and attack it.

B cells reproduce and become plasma cells which join as antibodies and help other cells to "see" the antigen and destroy it.]]> 2019-03-11 14:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/71346/czsxg7nnjhl9/wish/339972772 Function of Lymph Nodes 71346 https://padlet.com/71346/czsxg7nnjhl9/wish/339974539 They filter out harmful particles through vessels called the lymphatic system]]> 2019-03-11 14:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/71346/czsxg7nnjhl9/wish/339974539 Graves' Disease 71346 https://padlet.com/71346/czsxg7nnjhl9/wish/339976685 This disease causes the thyroid to be overactive.

Humans have two legs, and cats have four legs, so since four is more than 2, there is more exposure to disease and infections, etc., with a cat. Finally, humans can get the Systemic Lupus (cats cannot) and cats get the Immunodeficiency disorder (humans cannot). But, cats and humans both have lots in common. Both immune systems fight of antigens, include lymph nodes and bone marrow, have T cells and B cells, and if they both have weak immune systems there can be a negative effect with both.]]> 2019-03-11 14:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/71346/czsxg7nnjhl9/wish/339982291 Bibliographies 71346 https://padlet.com/71346/czsxg7nnjhl9/wish/340002029 "Immune System."
