in tomorrow for the answers and part two "Molecules" *if* this part one 
matching quiz post comes across formatted ok on Lactnet.


IMMUNE BENEFITS OF BREASTMILK 

Match the component to the correct action

COMPONENT                   ACTION

*WHITE BLOOD CELLS*

B  lymphocytes              a) May act as phagocytes, ingesting                 
                                    bacteria in baby’s digestive system.

                                b) Kill infected cells directly or send         
                                            out chemical messages to mobilize 
Macrophages                 other defenses. Proliferate in the                  
                                    presence of pathogens. Manufacture          
                                        compounds that can strengthen a 
child’s                                                 own immune response.
                            
Neutrophils                 c) Give rise to antibodies targeted                 
                                    against specific microbes.

                                d) Kill microbes outright in the baby’s     
T  lymphocytes              gut, produce lysozyme and activate                  
                                other components of the immune system.
