Immune Defenses Quiz

What are the two major types of immunity?

• Specific and Non-specific

• Primary and Secondary

• Passive and Active

• Innate and Adaptive

What is the function of histamine in inflammation?

• Inhibits viral replication

• Increases blood flow to the injury site

• Enhances phagocytosis

• Causes cell death by rupture of the cell membrane

What is the function of Interferon in the immune response?

• Increases blood flow to the injury site

• Enhances phagocytosis

• Inhibits viral replication

• Causes cell death by rupture of the cell membrane

What are the four cardinal signs of inflammation?

• Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain

• Fever, Chills, Fatigue, Headache

• Red, Heat, Swelling, Pain

• Cough, Runny Nose, Sore Throat, Sneezing

What is the main function of fever in the immune response?

• Inhibits microbe growth

• Increases the effects of Interferons

• All of the above

• Speeds up cellular/tissue repair

What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity?

• Innate immunity has a slower response speed than adaptive immunity

• Innate immunity is caused by exposure to microbes, while adaptive immunity is caused by genetics

• Innate immunity is present at birth, while adaptive immunity develops over time

• Innate immunity is specific, while adaptive immunity is non-specific

What are the two distinguishing features of adaptive immunity?

• Inflammation and fever

• Basophils and eosinophils

• Specificity and memory

• Neutrophils and monocytes

Which cells are utilized in the 3rd line of defense in immunity?

• Neutrophils and monocytes

• Lymphocytes (T & B)

• NK cells

• Basophils and eosinophils

What is the function of antibodies in the immune response?

• Neutralize pathogens and prepare them for uptake and destruction by phagocytes

• Cause agglutination and enhance inflammation

• Immobilize bacteria and activate complement cascade

• All of the above

Which type of immunity involves T-cells and is directed by B-cells?

• Innate Immunity

• Antibody-mediated Immunity (AMI)

• Cell-mediated Immunity (CMI)

• Passive Immunity
