Bio 2260 Final Exam UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
, A patient recovering from a bacterial infection A white blood cell that engulfs and digests foreign particles or microbes
demonstrates phagocytic cells like the one pictured
above. Which of the following best describes these cells?
During a physical exam, swollen lymph nodes are To filter lymph and provide a site for immune cell activation
palpated in a patient with a recent infection. What is the
primary function of a lymph node in the immune
response?
After exposure to a new pathogen, a patient's immune It develops specific responses and memory against particular pathogens
system develops a specific memory response. Which
feature makes the adaptive immune system "adaptive"?
A portion of a patient's immune cells are observed Clonality
forming identical copies of one another following antigen
exposure. Which characteristic allows this replication?

the main role of the molecules shown above in this
process?

affecting antibody production. Which cells are primarily
responsible for mediating antibody responses?

of antigen is presented from these intracellular
pathogens?
A newborn is diagnosed with a condition involving failure Thymus
of T cell development. What organ is primarily
responsible for T cell maturation?
A patient diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder shows It reduces the risk of autoimmune reactions
a failure in the immune system's ability to tolerate self-
antigens. What concept describes the protective
mechanism that is malfunctioning?
A patient with suspected immune organ dysfunction is Spleen
being assessed. Which of the following is NOT
considered a primary lymphoid organ where immune
cells develop?
In a patient battling tuberculosis, what is the primary role They digest and display antigens to T cells
of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) during the immune
response?
