right atrium
inferior vena cava
both a & b
Organ that filters lymph & activates the nervous system:
lymph node
lymphatic trunk
kidney
liver

both a and b
both a & c
Which of the following roles is correct?
The Peyer’s patches guard against pathogens in the stomach
The thymus plays its role early in life, allowing T cells to grow and mature
The adenoids capture pathogens in crypts within the ileum
The spleen filters lymph as it returns to the cardiovascular system
Of the following, which is the only example of a specific defense?
species resistance
protection afforded by unbroken skin & mucous membranes
circulating interferons
memory B-cells circulating within the human body
What role in non-specific defense is played by the stomach?
bacteria living within external mucous membranes produce lactic acid harmful to microorganisms
the highly keratinized barrier of the stomach helps keeps out invading microorganisms
mucus & cilia trap particles in this organ & sweep them to the surface of the body
hydrochloric acid & protein enzymes kill pathogens as they pass through this organ
Leukocytes enter an area, phagocytizing microorganisms & mounting an immune response during:
clotting of blood
the inflammatory response
growth & development of B cells

antibodies
antigens
albumins
anthrax
What type of immune cell attacks pathogens directly, secretes toxins or growth inhibitors, and secretes cytokines to enhance the immune response?
T-cells
B-cells
natural killer cells
If memory B cells for a particular pathogen are present, a human is said to be:
in a disease state
immune
immunocompromised
immunomature
Which organisms are responsible for producing the lactic acid which provides a protective acidic chemical environment within the vagina?
viruses
anaerobic bacteria
aerobic bacteria
yeast
Cellular respiration depends on diffusion of gases through a cell membrane in the following organisms:
