Human Body Systems (Immunity & Brain)

Labels 1-4 in the diagram below designate the lobes of the human brain. Which lobe corresponds to label #4?

• Parietal

• Occipital

• Frontal

• Temporal

Which lobe corresponds to label #2? (L.14.26, DOK 1)

• Parietal

• Occipital

• Frontal

• Temporal

Which lobe corresponds to label #3? (L.14.26, DOK 1)

• Parietal

• Occipital

• Frontal

• Temporal

Which lobe corresponds to label #1? (L.14.26, DOK 1)

• Parietal

• Occipital

• Temporal

• Frontal

What part of the brain corresponds to label #5? (L.14.26, DOK 1)

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Pons

• Medulla Oblongata

What is the body’s first line of defense against infection by foreign organisms? (L.14.52, DOK 1)

• Antibodies

• Lymph Nodes

• Skin

• White Blood Cells

How do human diseases caused by bacteria and diseases caused by viruses react to antibiotics? (L.14.52, DOK 2)

• Neither responds to antibiotics

• Both respond to antibiotics

• Viral diseases respond to antibiotics, but bacterial diseases do not

• Bacterial diseases respond to antibiotics, but viral diseases do not

White blood cells are an important part of the human immune response. Two types of white blood cells, neutrophils and macrophages, act as phagocytes. Phagocytes perform which of the following functions in the human body? (L.14.52, DOK 2)

• They produce antibodies.

• They bind to antigens and develop into plasma cells.

• They form a barrier against pathogens.

• They engulf and destroy bacteria.

After an initial infection, B-cells recognize the measles virus. How is this helpful in human immune response? (L.14.52, DOK 2)

• The B-cells use this recognition to defend the body against other pathogens, such as bacteria.

• The B-cells more quickly recognize and respond to any other virus that invades the body.

• The B-cells produce antibodies more quickly if the measles virus is encountered again.

• The B-cells transfer this recognition to T-cells, which will then devour the virus.

Many species of bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics because the antibiotics have been so widely used. Now, bacteria that used to be killed by antibiotics are more difficult to treat. What is the best way to proceed in dealing with this public health problem? (L.14.52, DOK 2)

• Antibiotics should no longer be used.

• Antibiotics should be made available to anyone without a prescription.

• Antibiotics should only be prescribed to people with bacterial infections.

• Anti-viral medication should now be used instead of antibiotics.
