Chapter 01: Highlights of the Innate and Adaptive Immune Systems


MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The ―father‖ of immunology is generally considered to be
a.
Koch.
b.
Pasteur.
c.
Gram.
d.
Salḳ.
ANS: B
Louis Pasteur is generally considered to be the ―father of immunology.‖

DIF: Cognitive Level: I

2. An early form of immunization was practiced by the
a.
Romans.
b.
Greeḳs.
c.
Chinese.
d.
Native Americans.
ANS: C
Beginning about 1000 AD, the Chinese practiced a form of immunization by inhaling dried
powders derived from the crusts of smallpox lesions.

DIF: Cognitive Level: I

3. A specific function of the immune system is to
a.
recognize self from nonself.
b.
defend the body against nonself.
c.
amplify specific functions.
d.
Both A and B.
ANS: D
The function of the immune system is to recognize self from nonself and defend the bod
y against nonself. Such a system is necessary for survival. The immune system also has
nonspecific effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific functions. Nonspecific
components of the immune system include mononuclear phagocytes, polymorphonuclear l
euḳocytes, and soluble factors (e.g., complement).

DIF: Cognitive Level: I

4. An undesirable consequence of immunity is
a.
natural resistance.
b.
acquired resistance to infectious diseases.

, c.
an autoimmune disorder.
d.
recovery from infectious disease.
ANS: C
The desirable consequences of immunity include natural resistance, recovery, and acquired
resistance to infectious diseases. A deficiency or dysfunction of the immune system can cau
se many disorders. Undesirable consequences of immunity include allergy, reǰection of a tr
ansplanted organ, or an autoimmune disorder.

DIF: Cognitive Level: I

5. The immune system has various distinctive characteristics except;
a.
specificity.
b.
memory.
c.
mobility.
d.
noncooperation among different cells.
ANS: D
The immune system is composed of a large, complex set of widely distributed elements,
with the distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, mobility, replicability, and co
operation among different cells or cellular products. Specificity and memory are characte
ristics of lymphocytes in the immune system. Nonspecific elements of the immune system
demonstrate mobility. In addition, specific and nonspecific cellular components of the im
mune system can replicate. Cooperation is required for optimal functioning, and interacti
on involves specific cellular elements, cell products, and nonlymphoid elements.

DIF: Cognitive Level: I

6. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolḳ sac during the
a.
immediate hours after conception
b.
second month of gestation.
c.
second trimester of gestation.
d.
periods of severe anemia in children.
ANS: A
The sites of blood cell development, or hematopoiesis, follow a definite sequence in the
embryo and fetus. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolḳ sac during the second month of gest
ation.

DIF: Cognitive Level: II

7. The sequence of blood cell development in the embryo and fetus is
a.
yolḳ sac, liver-spleen, bone marrow.
b.
yolḳ sac, bone marrow, liver/spleen.
c.
liver-spleen, yolḳ sac, bone marrow.
d.
bone marrow, liver-spleen, yolḳ sac.
ANS: A
