ANS: m 5 C
Beginning about 1000 AD, the Chinese practiced a form of immunization by inhaling dried

powders derived from the crusts of smallpox lesions.

3. A m5 specific function of the immune system is to
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


a. recognize self from nonself. m5 m5 m5


b. defend the body against nonself.
m5 m5 m5 m5


c. amplify specific functions. m5 m5


d. Both A and B. m5 m5 m5




ANS: m 5 D
The function of the immune system is to recognize self from nonself and defend the bod
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


y against nonself. Such a system is necessary for survival. The immune system also has
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


nonspecific effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific functions. Nonspecific
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


components of the immune system include mononuclear phagocytes, polymorphonuclear
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m


leukocytes, and soluble factors (e.g., complement).

4. An undesirable consequence of immunity is
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


a. natural resistance. m5


b. acquired resistance to infectious diseases.
m5 m5 m5 m5

, c. an autoimmune disorder.
m5 m5


d. recovery from infectious disease. m5 m5 m5




ANS: m 5 C
The desirable consequences of immunity include natural resistance, recovery, and acquired
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


resistance to infectious diseases. A deficiency or dysfunction of the immune system can cau

5. The immune system has various distinctive characteristics except;
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


a. specificity.
b. memory.
c. mobility.
d. noncooperation among different cells. m5 m5 m5




ANS: m 5 D
The immune system is composed of a large, complex set of widely distributed elements,
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


with the distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, mobility, replicability, and co
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


operation among different cells or cellular products. Specificity and memory are charact
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


eristics of lymphocytes in the immune system. Nonspecific elements of the immune syste
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


m demonstrate mobility. In addition, specific and nonspecific cellular components of the
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


immune system can replicate. Cooperation is required for optimal functioning, and intera
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5

b. second month of gestation. m5 m5 m5


c. second trimester of gestation. m5 m5 m5


d. periods of severe anemia in children.
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5




ANS: m 5 A
The sites of blood cell development, or hematopoiesis, follow a definite sequence in the
m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5


embryo and fetus. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolk sac during the second month of ges

tation.
