Lymphatic vessels empty into lymph nodes
Lymph from the right-lower limb passes into the right jugular or subclavian vein
Lymph from the jugular and subclavian trunks empties into the cisterna chyli.
All of these are correct.
The tonsils
consist of large groups of lymphatic nodules
protect against bacteria
can become chronically infected.
decrease in size in adults
All of these are correct.
Lymph nodes
filter lymph.
are where lymphocytes divide and increase in number.
contain a network of reticular fibers.
contain lymphatic sinuses.
All of these are correct.
Which of these statements about the spleen is not correct?
The spleen has white pulp associated with the arteries
The spleen has red pulp associated with the veins.
The spleen destroys defective red blood cells.
The spleen is surrounded by trabeculae located outside the capsule.
The spleen is a limited reservoir for blood.
The thymus
increases in size in adults.
produces lymphocytes that move to other lymphatic tissue.
is located in the abdominal cavity.
All of these are correct.
Which of these is an example of innate immunity?
Tears and saliva wash away microorganisms.
Basophils release histamine and leukotrienes.
Neutrophils phagocytize a microorganism.
The complement cascade is activated.
All of these are correct.
Neutrophils
enlarge to become macrophages.
account for most of the dead cells in pus.
are usually the last cell type to enter infected tissues.
are usually located in lymphatic and blood sinuses.
Macrophages
are large, phagocytic cells that outlive neutrophils.
develop from mast cells.
often die after a single phagocytic event
have the same function as eosinophils.
All of these are correct.
Which of these cells is the most important in the release of histamine, which promotes inflammation?
monocyte
macrophage
eosinophil
mast cell
Which of these conditions does not occur during the inflammatory response?
Which of these conditions does not occur during the inflammatory response?
chemotaxis of phagocytes
entry of fibrinogen into tissues from the blood
vasoconstriction of blood vessels
increased permeability of blood vessels
Antigens
are foreign substances introduced into the body
are molecules produced by the body
stimulate an adaptive immune system response
All of these are correct
B cells
are processed in the thymus
originate in red bone marrow.
once released into the blood remain in the blood.
are responsible for cell-mediated immunity
All of these are correct
Helper T cells
respond to antigens from macrophages
respond to cytokines from macrophages
stimulate B cells with cytokines.
All of these are correct.
Antibodies
prevent antigens from binding together.
promote phagocytosis.
inhibit inflammation.
block complement activation.
block the function of opsonins.
The secondary antibody response
is slower than the primary response.
produces fewer antibodies than the primary response.
prevents disease symptoms from occurring.
occurs because of cytotoxic T cells.
The type of lymphocyte responsible for the secondary antibody response is the
memory B cell.
B cell.
T cell.
helper T cell.
The largest percentage of antibodies in the blood are
IgA
IgD
IgE

Antibody-mediated immunity
works best against intracellular antigens
regulates the activity of T cells.
cannot be transferred from one person to another
is responsible for immediate hypersensitivity reactions
The activation of cytotoxic T cells can result in
lysis of virus-infected cells.
production of cytokines
production of memory T cells.
All of these are correct.
