T cells and B cells become activated when they bind with recognized antigens.

After becoming immunocompetent, the naive T cells and B cells are exported to the bone marrow where the encounters with antigens occur.

What is meant by the clonal expansion of a B cell? An activated B cell will immediately begin to produce antibodies. An activated B cell divides into cells that give rise to memory B cells and plasma cells. An activated B cell will engulf and digest anything foreign. An activated B cell will kill infected host cells.

Phagocytes are unable to adhere to bacteria that have external capsules concealing their membrane carbohydrates. Our immune system gets around this problem by coating such pathogens with __________. phagosomes toll-like receptors opsonins mucin

opsonins

Complement proteins and antibodies coat a microorganism and provide binding sites, enabling macrophages and neutrophils to phagocytize the organism. This phenomenon is termed ________. chemotaxis diapedesis opsonization agglutination

opsonization

Which of the following is an effect of complement activation? fever tissue repair T cell activation opsonization

opsonization

The antivenom used to treat a venomous snake bite is an antibody produced in an animal such as a horse. Suppose these antibodies are injected into a patient who has been bitten by a venomous snake. How would you classify the resulting humoral immunity? active immunity, artificially acquired passive immunity, artificially acquired active immunity, naturally acquired passive immunity, naturally acquired

passive immunity, artificially acquired

Which of these mechanisms do cytotoxic T (TC) cells use to destroy a target--that is, to deliver a lethal hit? agglutination of target cells producing antibodies perforation of the membrane opsonization

perforation of the membrane

What cells make antibodies? cytotoxic T cells memory T cells memory B cells plasma B cells

plasma B cells

Which of the following is NOT a role of activated complement? prevention of immediate hypersensitivity reactions insertion of MAC and cell lysis enhancement of inflammation opsonization

prevention of immediate hypersensitivity reactions

Fever ________. decreases the metabolic rate of the body to conserve energy causes the liver to release large amounts of iron, which seems to inhibit bacterial replication is a higher-than-normal body temperature that is always dangerous production is regulated by chemicals that reset the body's thermostat to a higher setting

production is regulated by chemicals that reset the body's thermostat to a higher setting

Which of the following examples below describes an autoimmune disease? Antibody binding to acetylcholine receptors of the motor end plate resulting in muscle weakness. Release of bacterial endotoxins that block acetylcholine release result in muscle paralysis .Uncontrolled cell division resulting in cell surface abnormalities recognized by NK cells. Infection and death of T helper cells by a virus, resulting in a loss of adaptive immunity.

Antibody binding to acetylcholine receptors of the motor end plate resulting in muscle weakness.

Which of the following is true of antigens? Antigens are substances that activate the adaptive immune response. Antigens are typically composed of nucleotides. Antigens are produced by the body in response to a foreign invader. Antigens are limited to one antigenic determinant per antigen molecule.

Antigens are substances that activate the adaptive immune response.

Which of the statements below does NOT describe antigens? The parts of antigen molecules that initiate immune responses are called epitopes or antigenic determinants. Antigens exhibit immunogenicity and reactivity. Antigens can include proteins, nucleic acids, lipoproteins, glycoproteins, and certain large polysaccharides. Antigens only come from microbes.

Antigens only come from microbes.

A class I MHC protein presents an antigen. What type of cell is likely presenting and to what type of cell would it be presented? An antigen-presenting cell (APC) would present antigens to a CD8 cell. Any nucleated cell would present antigens to a CD8 cell. Any nucleated cell would present antigens to a CD4 cell. An antigen-presenting cell (APC) would be presented to a CD4 cell.

Any nucleated cell would present antigens to a CD8 cell.

What is the role of interferon in defense against disease? ]activates the complement mechanism protects cells that have not yet been infected by viruses protects cells that have not yet been infected by bacteria activates the inflammatory process

protects cells that have not yet been infected by viruses

During inflammation, fluids will passively diffuse out of blood vessels into the nearby infected tissues. This implies all of the following EXCEPT ________. nearby capillaries have become more permeable the surrounding tissue will swell with excessive fluids B-lymphocytes will differentiate to become plasma cells the increased volume in the infected tissue contributes to pain

B-lymphocytes will differentiate to become plasma cells

Which pair of molecules do NOT directly interact with one another? BCR and TCR CD4 and MHC-II BCR and epitope CD8 and MHC-I

BCR and TCR

Which pair of molecules do NOT directly interact with one another? CD4 and MHC-II BCR and TCR BCR and epitope CD8 and MHC-I

BCR and TCR
