In some individuals, the immune system attacks substances such as grass pollen that are usually harmless, resulting in
an allergic reaction
a form of cancer
an insulin imbalance
a mutation
Cells of the immune system are able to respond to the presence of invading organisms because they recognize the
antigens present on the invaders
antibodies present in invading pathogens
DNA pattern in the nuclei of viruses
antibiotics released from microbes
A substance which causes an immunological reaction when introduced into the body of man is
glucose
insulin
an antibody
an antigen
Lymphocytes are blood cells that are most closely associated with
antibody production
oxygen transport
clot formation
carbon dioxide transport
An infection in the body might result in a sudden
decrease in the activity of antigens produced by the mitochondria
decrease in the amount of DNA present in the nuclei of cells
increase in the activity of white blood cells
increase in the number of red blood cells
Newborn infants nursing from their mother receive milk containing antibodies against diseases to which the mother is immune. The infants, however, remain immune to those diseases for only a short time. This situation is an example of
active immunity
passive immunity
an oral vaccine
a phagocytic activity
True/False: Your body cannot make antibodies for pathogens that you have never been in contact with.
True, because your body needs to encounter the pathogen at least once in order to create the antibodies.
False, because you can make antibodies via immunizations given by a doctor.
As part of the immune system, white blood cells fight germs. Another name for white blood cells is...
Rhinovirus
Leukocytes
Glands
Nodes
Leukocytes are found in lots of places, including an organ in your belly that filters blood and helps fight infections known as the:
Heart
Spleen
Kidneys
Brain
Lymph nodes are found in the:
Neck
Armpits
Groin
All of the options
What is the lifespan of adaptive immunity (specific immunity)?
It only remains for a short time
It always lasts throughout the person's life
Its lifespan can be either lifelong or short
None of the above
Which Immunity is involved with remembering specific pathogens?
Innate Immunity
Adaptive Immunity
What is the difference between Adaptive Immunity and Innate Immunity?
Innate is non specific and Adaptive is specific
Innate has several barriers
Innate uses several lymphocytes while Adaptive uses 2 types
All of the above
What do chemical barriers include?
Tears, breast milk, sweat, saliva, stomach acid
Tears, breast milk, sweat, stomach acid, and feces
Tears and urine
Hair, breast milk, sweat, saliva, stomach acid
What role do mucus and stomach acid have in common?
Acting as barriers to pathogens
Stopping particles from being transmitted further into your body
Fighting off and/or trapping bacteria to prevent infections
What are the major types of cells of Adaptive (Specific) Immunity?
Natural Killer Cells
Neutrophils and Basophils
T cells and B cells
Eosinophils and Macrophages
Which cells are NOT part of Adaptive (specific) Immunity?
Phagocytes
B cells
T cells
None of the above
The response to an infection. Causes the area to redden, swell, and feel warm.
Fever
Mucus
Dilation
Inflammation
Chemical that causes the blood vessels around the infection to dilate (expand) so that more blood can flow to the infection
Stomach acid
Mucus
Epithelial cells
Histamines
Which is NOT considered FIRST line of defense?
Helper T-Cells
Skin
Hair
Mucous Membranes
The innate immune system is...
Always working and doesn't require any special preparation
Needs to be "primed" before it can work to its full effectiveness
Very specific and only defends against a specific pathogen
Not very effective at preventing intruders
