UAMS Immunology Exam 1 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Study of host reactions when foreign Immunology
substances are introduced
Study of non-cellular components in the Serology
blood (antigen and antibody)
Substance that induces an immune Antigen
response
Glycoprotein; made in response to antigen Antibody
Antibody binding site Epitope
The ability of an organism to resist a Immunity
particular infection or toxin by the action of
specific antibodies or sensitized white
blood cells
The Role of the ___________________ (2 Immune System
words):
*Confer health by effective elimination of
infectious agents
*Designed to interact with environment to
protect the host against pathogenic
invaders
*Recognize and respond to tissue
grafts/newly introduced proteins
*Defend against tumors

, Properties of the _______________ (2 Immune System
words)
*Distinguish between self and non-self
*Two overlapping systems
*Specificity
*Diversity
*Clonal selection
*Memory
*Regulation
________________ confers health by Immunological homeostasis
responding and controlling infection with
moderation.
Immune response is ABSENT from the host, Deficiency: Hyporeactivity
leading to illness
*SCID-severe combine immmunodeficiency
(bubble baby)
*HIV/AIDS-Destruction of T helper cells
leads to vulnerability of host by
opportunistic infections
AUTOIMMUNITY/ALLERGIES Dysregulation: Hypereactivity/Hypersensitivity
Immune system reacts by error resulting in
active response that damages host tissue
*Rheumatoid arthritis
*Allergies
IMMUNOPATHOLOGY/IMMUNOPROLIFE
RATIVE
Absence of protective response or
excessive uncontrolled response
*Multiple myeloma
What are the two overlapping immune Innate/Natural and Adaptive/Acquired
systems?
*"Non-specific" recognition of substances Innate/Natural Immunity
(obviously) different from self
*Always present in healthy individuals
*First line of defense
*Examples: epithelial barriers, phagocytes,
and inflammation components
