Adaptive Immune System Quiz

What is the main advantage of the adaptive immune system over the innate immune system?

• It is faster to respond

• It is more accurate

• It can remember germs

• It can destroy germs directly

Why can some illnesses only be contracted once in a lifetime?

• The innate immune system becomes stronger

• The adaptive immune system becomes weaker

• The body becomes immune to the illness

• The germs mutate and become harmless

Which cells are part of the adaptive immune system? (select all)

• Mast Cells

• Neutrophils

• T lymphocytes

• Macrophage

• B lymphocytes

Which immune cells can stick around after an infection, giving up partial immunity/immune memory? (select all)

• Mast Cells

• Neutrophils

• T lymphocytes

• Macrophage

• B lymphocytes

Where are T lymphocytes produced?

• Bone marrow

• Thymus

• Spleen

• Lymph nodes

What is the main function of T helper cells?

• Destroy infected cells

• To produce antibodies

• To activate other immune system cells

• Produce Inflammation

What happens when a T cell is presented with an antigen it has a receptor for?

• The T cell starts to multiply

• The T cell becomes a memory cell

• The T cell produces antibodies

• The T cell becomes inactive

Where are B lymphocytes made?

• Bone marrow

• Thymus

• Spleen

• Lymph nodes

Where are T lymphocytes trained? They are presented with antigens for 'self' and any that react will be forced to undergo apoptosis.

• Bone marrow

• Thymus

• Spleen

• Lymph nodes
