Multiple-Choice Questions (21 Questions)
Q1. Immunology is best defined as the study of:
A. Microorganisms only
B. Blood cell formation
C. The body’s defense mechanisms
D. Genetic inheritance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Immunology focuses on how the body recognizes and defends itself
against foreign substances, including pathogens and abnormal cells.
Q2. Which of the following is considered a foreign substance capable of
inducing an immune response?
A. Hormone
B. Antigen
C. Antibody
D. Cytokine
, Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An antigen is any substance recognized as foreign that can stimulate
an immune response.
Q3. Which immune system component is responsible for producing antibodies?
A. T lymphocytes
B. Macrophages
C. B lymphocytes
D. Neutrophils
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: B lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells, which produce
antibodies.
Q4. The primary function of antibodies is to:
A. Destroy viruses directly
B. Tag antigens for destruction
C. Produce cytokines
D. Activate T cells
