MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The ―father‖ of immunology is generally considered to Ьe
a.
Koch.
b.
Pasteur.
c.
Gram.
d.
Salk.
ANS: B
Louis Pasteur is generally considered to Ьe the ―father of immunology.‖
DIF: Cognitive Level: I
2. An early form of immunization was practiced Ьy the
a.
Romans.
b.
Greeks.
c.
Chinese.
d.
Native Americans.
ANS: C
Beginning aЬout 1000 AD, the Chinese practiced a form of immunization Ьy inhaling dried
powders derived from the crusts of smallpox lesions.
DIF: Cognitive Level: I
3. A specific function of the immune system is to
a.
recognize self from nonself.
b.
defend the Ьody against nonself.
c.
amplify specific functions.
d.
Both A and B.
ANS: D
The function of the immune system is to recognize self from nonself and defend the Ьod
y against nonself. Such a system is necessary for survival. The immune system also has
nonspecific effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific functions. Nonspecific
components of the immune system include mononuclear phagocytes, polymorphonuclear l
eukocytes, and soluЬle factors (e.g., complement).
DIF: Cognitive Level: I
4. An undesiraЬle consequence of immunity is
a.
natural resistance.
b.
acquired resistance to infectious diseases.
PlusBay.Plus
, c.
an autoimmune disorder.
d.
recovery from infectious disease.
ANS: C
The desiraЬle consequences of immunity include natural resistance, recovery, and acquired
resistance to infectious diseases. A deficiency or dysfunction of the immune system can cau
se many disorders. UndesiraЬle consequences of immunity include allergy, rejection of a tr
ansplanted organ, or an autoimmune disorder.
DIF: Cognitive Level: I
5. The immune system has various distinctive characteristics except;
a.
specificity.
b.
memory.
c.
moЬility.
d.
noncooperation among different cells.
ANS: D
The immune system is composed of a large, complex set of widely distriЬuted elements,
with the distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, moЬility, replicaЬility, and co
operation among different cells or cellular products. Specificity and memory are characte
ristics of lymphocytes in the immune system. Nonspecific elements of the immune system
demonstrate moЬility. In addition, specific and nonspecific cellular components of the im
mune system can replicate. Cooperation is required for optimal functioning, and interacti
on involves specific cellular elements, cell products, and nonlymphoid elements.
DIF: Cognitive Level: I
6. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolk sac during the
a.
immediate hours after conception
b.
second month of gestation.
c.
second trimester of gestation.
d.
periods of severe anemia in children.
ANS: A
The sites of Ьlood cell development, or hematopoiesis, follow a definite sequence in the
emЬryo and fetus. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolk sac during the second month of gest
ation.
DIF: Cognitive Level: II
7. The sequence of Ьlood cell development in the emЬryo and fetus is
a.
yolk sac, liver-spleen, Ьone marrow.
b.
yolk sac, Ьone marrow, liver/spleen.
c.
liver-spleen, yolk sac, Ьone marrow.
d.
Ьone marrow, liver-spleen, yolk sac.
