Adaptive Immunity Part 1

Which is NOT a component of the adaptive immune system?

• B cells

• T cells

• Antibodies

• Neutrophils

Which is a way that the adaptive immune system is different from the innate immune system?

• It includes physical defenses such as mucous

• It has the potential to make memory for future infection

• It provides rapid response upon initial infection

• It is made largely of the complement system

Which word best describes the adaptive immune system?

• specific

• rapid

• conserved

• complement

Which aspect of the immune system does a vaccine seek to activate?

• Innate

• Adaptive

The generation of unique B and T cell receptors

• is totally random

• is directed by the innate system

• relies on inherited genetics

• is driven by antibodies

In a lymph node, a lymphocyte is purposely killed by the immune system. This lymphocyte likely

• produces antibodies

• binds to self

• binds to a pathogen

• interacts with dendritic cells

Antibodies are produced by

• B cells

• T cells

• Dendritic cells

• Macrophages

T cells mature in the

• Bone marrow

• Thyroid

• Lymph node

• Thymus

B cells mature in the

• Bone marrow

• Thyroid

• Lymph node

• Thymus

A protein produced by B cells that is capable of binding to surface molecules on viruses and bacteria

• complement

• defensins

• antibody

• antigen
