7: Immunity
What are antigens? - Correct answer-foreign substances, microbes, or component of
cells that stimulate immune response
What is an antibody? - Correct answer-specific protein produced in the humoral
response that binds to an antigen
What is an autoantibody? - Correct answer-antibodies against self antigens, attaches
own body
What does the lymphatic system do? - Correct answer-filter body fluids, remove foreign
matter, immune response
What are the structures of the lymphoid systems? - Correct answer-Lymph nodes
Spleen
Tonsils
Intestinal lymphoid tissue
Lymphatic circulation
What are the components of the Immune Cells? - Correct answer-Macrophages and
Lymphocytes
What do tissues do in the immune system defense? - Correct answer-Immune cell
development
Bone marrow-Origination of all immune cells
Thymus-Maturation of T lymphocytes
How does the body know which are self antigens? - Correct answer-Human leukocyte
antigen (HLA) system or complex is a gene complex encoding the major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins in humans. These cell-surface proteins are
responsible for the regulation of the immune system in humans.
What do macrophages secrete? - Correct answer-monokines, interleukins
Where do T lymphocytes differentiate? - Correct answer-Thymus
Which lymphocytes are responsible for antibodies? - Correct answer-B lymphocytes
Where are B lymphocytes perched to in the body? - Correct answer-spleen and
lymphoid tissue
