1–3 Which of the following pairs is mismatched?
a. innate immunity: highly specialized defenses
b. secondary immune response: immunological memory
c. hematopoiesis: bone marrow
d. phagocytosis: uptake and killing of microbes

1–4 All of the following are examples of chemical barriers of innate immunity except .
a. lactic acid
b. normal microbiota
c. lysozyme
d. fatty acids
e. proteases.

1–5 When effector lymphocytes secrete , an inflammatory response ensues.
a. lysozyme
b. defensins
c. lymph
d. sebum
e. cytokines.

1–6 The thin layer of cells that makes up the interior lining of the blood vessels is called the
.
a. mucosa

1

,b. epithelium
c. endothelium
d. connective tissue
e. lymphoid tissue.

1–7 Identify the incorrect statement regarding hematopoiesis.
a. Hematopoiesis is a continuous process that occurs throughout one’s lifetime.
b. The location for hematopoiesis differs with age.
c. Self renewal is necessary to replenish the supply of hematopoietic stem cells.
d. Most hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow after birth.
e. Leukocytes, but not erythrocytes, must go through hematopoiesis in order to develop.

1–8 The progenitors of macrophages are .
a. megakaryocytes
b. dendritic cells
c. monocytes
d. neutrophils
e. erythrocytes
f. M cells.

1–9 act as cellular messengers by delivering degraded pathogens to lymphoid organs.
a. Plasma cells
b. Dendritic cells
c. Large granular lymphocytes
d. Mast cells
e. Basophils.

1–10 Another name for a large granular lymphocyte is a .
a. plasma cell
b. helper T cell
c. monocyte
d. natural killer cell
e. eosinophil.

1–11 Effector cells that secrete antibodies are known as .
a. natural killer cells
b. cytotoxic T cells
c. helper T cells
d. M cells
e. plasma cells
f. regulatory T cells.

1–12 Spherical regions in lymph nodes containing areas that are packed densely with
proliferating B cells are called .
a. efferent vessels
b. germinal centers

2

, c. red pulp zones
d. periarterial lymphoid sheaths
e. medullary sinuses.

1–13 The is (are) the lymphoid organ(s) that filter(s) the blood.
a. spleen
b. tonsils
c. Peyer’s patches
d. appendix
e. adenoids.

1–14 cells persist long after an individual has been vaccinated.
a. Neutrophil
b. Plasma
c. Memory
d. M
e. Mast.

1–15 During an infection, are mobilized in large numbers from the bone marrow.
a. dendritic cells
b. memory cells
c. macrophages
d. neutrophils
e. B cells.

1–16 In most cases, adaptive immune responses rely on the initial activation of in
secondary lymphoid tissue:
a. macrophages
b. T cells
c. B cells
d. dendritic cells
e. epithelium.

1–17 All of the following statements are characteristic of secondary immune responses except
.
a. Secondary immune responses are activated when primary immune responses fail to
completely eradicate an infection.
b. Secondary immune responses are restricted to adaptive immune responses.
c. Memory cells are activated rapidly during secondary immune responses.
d. Secondary immune responses are orders of magnitude greater than primary immune
responses.
e. During a secondary immune response to a booster vaccine, it is possible to experience a
primary immune response to an unrelated vaccine component encountered for the first time.

1–18 Identify the four classes of pathogens that provoke immune responses in our bodies and
give an example of each.
