Exercise 2

Based on the vocabulary in the text and the presentation, drag and drop the words/expressions to the correct places. Our immune system is incredibly complicated and absolutely essential for our survival. Without it, our bodies would be unable to fight attacks from     1. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response like bacteria, viruses or parasites. The search for them is never-ending, and once the immune system finds an intruder, it mounts an     2. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response     by sending off white blood cells to fight it. White blood cells begin to multiply and send signals out to other cell types to do the same. One type of white blood cells, called lymphocytes, is tasked with remembering previous invaders and recognising them if they come back to attack again. They also produce     3. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response     and destroy compromised cells in the body. When an antibody is produced, a copy remains in the body, thanks to which the body is ready and waiting to destroy a particular virus next time it arrives. This is called     4. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response.     It includes external barriers of our body such as skin,     5. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response     of the throat and gut, and immunological memory of antibodies to different pathogens. Since viruses constantly     6. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response,     this internal library of antibodies is updated non-stop throughout our whole life. The complexity of the immune system creates a potential for different abnormalities such as     7. 1. antibodies, 2. mutate, 3. autoimmune diseases, 4. pathogens, 5. mucous membranes, 6. immunity, 7. immune response     or immunodeficiencies. The immune system is invalid then, either targeting healthy cells or not functioning properly, if at all.
