What is the body's first line of defense against disease?
skin
blood
antibodies
enzymes
What is the ability to resist the pathogens that cause a particular disease?
defense
immunity
immune system
How are vaccinations able to help us develop immunity?
Exposure to disease creates antibodies which make us immune
Exposure to antibodies which makes us the disease immune to us
Exposure to immunity's which make us antibodies to the disease
This allows us to develop an artificial immunity to a disease without ever getting sick from the disease.
antibiotics
vaccines
blood transfusions
As part of the immune system, white blood cells fight germs. Another name for white blood cells is ....
a. Rhinovirus
c. Glands
b. Leukocytes
d. Nodes
What do antibodies attach to on the pathogen?
Anti inflammatory
Antigens
Antiseptic
Antibodies
A protein produced by B cells of the immune system that destroys pathogens is called:
Antigens
Antibodies
T-cells
Lymphocytes
A chemical that kills bacteria or slows their growth is called:
Antivirals
Vaccine
Antibiotics
Antigen
Immunity that occurs when a person's own immune system produces antibodies in response to the presence of a pathogen like with a vaccination.
Passive Immunity
Active Immunity
Inflammatory Response
Protective barrier like your skin
Immunity in which antibodies are given to a person rather than produced within the person's own body like with a baby and mother.
Passive Immunity
Active Immunity
Vaccination
Inflammatory response
Which of the following is a way to spread infectious diseases?
Touching contaminated objects
Not washing hands regularly
Being near infected people
All of these are ways
An immune response that occurs in the human body is shown above. This activity helps to do which of the following?
Produce antibiotics to control disease
Provide protection against a specific pathogen
Provide protection against all types of pathogens
Eliminate harmful gene alterations
Although vaccines cannot be used to treat a person who is sick, they can help to prevent infections. Vaccinations tell the body to create "memory cells", which will function later to create antibodies against certain pathogens. When a person is vaccinated, what are they injected with?
antibodies to a disease bacterium
live, inactive viruses
weakened viruses or antigens from the virus
blood from a person who has had the disease
A protein that attacks antigens is called:
Antibody
Immune response
Inflammatory Response
Vector
What is the molecule located on the outside of a pathogen that the immune system recognizes?
Lymphocyte
Antigen
Pathogen
Inflammation
The diagram shows a pathogen, what is the arrow pointing to on the surface of the pathogen?
a molecule called an antigen
a molecule called an antibody
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
