Medical Terminology Immune

Any organism that causes disease like a virus or bacteria is called:

• Antibiotics

• Antibody

• Pathogen

• Phagocyte

A molecule that the immune system recognizes either as part of the body or as coming from outside the body:

• Antigen

• Antibodies

• Antibiotics

• Antipaths

A protein produced by B cells of the immune system that destroys pathogens is called:

• Antigens

• Antibodies

• T-cells

• Lymphocytes

The body's ability to destroy pathogens before they can cause disease is called:

• Tolerance

• Immunity

• Vaccine

• Inflammatory response

What is the molecule located on the outside of a pathogen that the immune system recognizes?

• Lymphocyte

• Antigen

• Pathogen

• Inflammation

What function do memory cells have in our body?

• They help our immune system remember pathogens

• They store information in our short-term memory

• They send chemical signals from our blood to the brain

• All of the above

What are the 4 types of pathogens that could cause illness?

• animals, bacteria, fungi and plants

• bacteria, fungi, nucleus, parasites

• bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites

• bacteria, plants, fungi, parasites

The healthy human immune system responds to pathogens with both specific and nonspecific processes. Which of the following models represents a nonspecific response?

• 
• 
• 
• 

After an initial infection, B-cells recognize the measles virus. How is this helpful in human immune response?

• 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 viruses.

What is the body's first line (non-specific) of defense against infection by foreign organisms?

• antibodies

• lymph nodes

• white blood cells

• the skin
