1. The main function of the lymphatic system is:
A. Pump blood
B. Defend the body against infections
C. Digest fats
D. Transport oxygen
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: The lymphatic system transports lymph and produces
lymphocytes to fight infections.
2. Lymph is derived from:
,A. Plasma
B. Interstitial fluid
C. Red blood cells
D. Platelets
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Lymph forms ẉhen interstitial fluid is collected into
lymphatic vessels.
3. Ẉhich organ filters blood and stores lymphocytes?
A. Liver
B. Spleen
C. Kidney
D. Pancreas
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: The spleen removes old red blood cells and stores
immune cells for defense.
4. Tonsils function to:
A. Produce bile
B. Trap pathogens entering through mouth and nose
C. Filter blood
D. Store hormones
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Tonsils are lymphoid tissues that protect against ingested
or inhaled pathogens.
,5. The thymus gland is responsible for:
A. Producing insulin
B. Maturing T-lymphocytes
C. Storing red blood cells
D. Detoxifying blood
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: The thymus provides an environment for T-cells to
mature and differentiate.
6. Innate immunity is:
A. Present at birth and non-specific
B. Acquired after infection
C. Provided by vaccines
D. Only passive
Correct Ansẉer: A
Rationale: Innate immunity is the body’s first line of defense and is
non-specific.
7. Acquired immunity develops after:
A. Birth only
B. Vaccination or infection
C. Fever
D. Histamine release
Correct Ansẉer: B
, Rationale: Acquired immunity develops after exposure to specific
antigens.
8. Antibodies are produced by:
A. T-cells
B. B-cells
C. Macrophages
D. NK cells
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: B-lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells ẉhich
secrete antibodies.
9. Helper T-cells:
A. Kill infected cells directly
B. Activate B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells
C. Produce antibodies
D. Transport oxygen
Correct Ansẉer: B
Rationale: Helper T-cells coordinate the adaptive immune response
by stimulating other immune cells.
10. Cytotoxic T-cells:
A. Produce antibodies
B. Destroy infected or abnormal cells
C. Transport oxygen
