MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The ―father‖ of immunology is generally considered to be
a. Koch.
b. Pasteur.
c. Gram.
d. Salk.
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. Greeks.
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 body against nonself. Such a system is necessary for survival. The immune s
ystem also has nonspecific effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific f
unctions. Nonspecific components of the immune system include mononuclear phago
cytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, 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 acq
uired resistance to infectious diseases. A deficiency or dysfunction of the immune sys
tem can cause many disorders. Undesirable consequences of immunity include allergy
, rejection of a transplanted 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 el
ements, with the distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, mobility, replicab
ility, and cooperation among different cells or cellular products. Specificity and m
emory are characteristics of lymphocytes in the immune system. Nonspecific eleme
nts of the immune system demonstrate mobility. In addition, specific and nonspecifi
c cellular components of the immune system can replicate. Cooperation is required
for optimal functioning, and interaction involves specific cellular elements, cell pr
oducts, and nonlymphoid elements.
DIF: Cognitive Level: I
6. Hematopoiesis occurs in the yolk 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 yolk sac during the second
month of gestation.
DIF: Cognitive Level: II
7. The sequence of blood cell development in the embryo and fetus is
a. yolk sac, liver-spleen, bone marrow.
b. yolk sac, bone marrow, liver/spleen.
c. liver-spleen, yolk sac, bone marrow.
d. bone marrow, liver-spleen, yolk sac.
ANS: A
