The function of the immune system is to recognize self from nonself and defend the body agai

he distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, mobility, replicability, and cooperation a

mong different cells or cellular products. Specificity and memory are characteristics of lymph
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0

ANS: A l 0
The sites of blood cell development, or hematopoiesis, follow a definite sequence in the embr

yo and fetus. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolk sac during the second month of gestation.

l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
a. yolk sac, liver-spleen, bone marrow.

b. yolk sac, bone marrow, liver/spleen.

c. liver-spleen, yolk sac, bone marrow. l0 l0 l0 l0

ANS: A l 0
, The first blood cells are primitive red blood cells (erythroblasts; RBCs) formed in the islets of
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
the yolk sac during the first 2 to 8 weeks of life. Gradually, the liver and spleen replace the y
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
olk sac as the sites of blood cell development. By the second month of gestation, the liver be
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
comes the major site of hematopoiesis, and granular types of leukocytes have made their initi
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
al appearance. The liver and spleen predominate from about 2 to 5 months of fetal life. In the
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l
0fourth month of gestation, bone marrow begins to produce blood cells. After the fifth fetal m
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0

l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
a. to reduce inflammation. l0 l0
b. to lyse parasites in the circulatory system.
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
c. antigen recognition. l0
d. phagocytosis.
ANS: D l 0
Various phagocytic cells continually circulate throughout the blood, lymph, gastrointestinal sy
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
stem, and respiratory tract. When trauma occurs, the neutrophils arrive at the site of injury and
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l
can be found in the initial exudate in less than 1 hour. Monocytes are slower in moving to the i
0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
nflammatory site. Macrophages resident in the tissues of the body are already in place to deal
l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0 l0
with an intruding agent. Additional macrophages from the bone marrow and other tissues can b
