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
White blood cells are an important part of the human immune response. Two types of white blood cells, neutrophils and macrophages, act as phagocytes. Phagocytes perform which of the following functions in the human body?
They produce antibodies.
They bind to antigens and develop into plasma cells
They form a barrier against pathogens.
They engulf and destroy bacteria
What is the scientific name of the causes of infectious diseases?
Germ
Pathogen
Intruder
Disease
Whats another name for White Blood Cells?
Lymphocytes
Leukocytes
Plasma Cells
Memory Cells
This sticky fluid traps any pathogens that try and get in our body
Mucous Lining
Blood
Stomach Acid
Skin
What are two examples of chemical barriers?
Lysosomes in our eyes
Skin
White Blood Cells
Stomach Acid
What are memory T Cells?
The kills infected body cells
They help the immune system respond quicker if the same pathogen enters the body again
They signal B Cells
They cause Inflammation
A white blood cell that makes antibodies
T cell
bacteria
B cell
mast cell
Which type of microbe is the smallest?
Bacteria
Viruses
Fungi

Inflammation is designed to be a protective mechanism
true
false
Which of the following is NOT a sign of inflammation?
redness
heat
swelling
fever
What type of immune response is inflammation?
Specific
Non-specific
What is the function of a B lymphocyte?
Helps coordinate the function of other immune cells and directly attacks various infected cells and tumors
Plays a major role in allergic response by producing histamine; also produces heparin to control blood clotting
Functions specifically to combat parasitic infection, they also help to promote inflammation and play a role in allergic reactions
Produces antibodies, which target specific pathogens by binding to the antigens presented on their surfaces
Young white blood cell found in the blood stream which gives rise to a mature phagocytic cell once it migrates to tissues
