Are you preparing for PNB 2265 (Physiology) Exam 2? Stop guessing what will be on the test. This 42-page digital question bank covers every high-yield topic from the second exam—including detailed correct answers and explanations. Designed to mirror exam difficulty, this resource helps you learn faster, retain more, and walk into your test with confidence. What’s Inside (Organized by Exam Blueprint): Section 1: Non-Specific (Innate) Immunity Physical barriers, phagocytes, immunological surveillance (NK cells) Interferons, complement system, inflammatory response Histamines, kinins, prostaglandins, opsonins Fever, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) Section 2: Specific (Adaptive) Immunity B cells vs. T cells (Helper, Cytotoxic, Suppressor) Antibody-mediated (humoral) vs. cell-mediated immunity MHC Class I & II, antigen processing & presentation Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgE, IgM, IgA, IgD) Primary vs. secondary immune response, active vs. passive immunity Cytokines (IL-1, IL-2, TNF, perforin, lymphotoxin) Section 3: Lymphatic System Lymph, lymphatic vessels, nodes vs. nodules Thymus, bone marrow, spleen, GALT/MALT Leukocytes (neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, lymphocytes) Section 4: Pulmonary Physiology Upper vs. lower respiratory tract, conducting vs. respiratory zone Alveoli (Type I & II cells), surfactant, respiratory membrane Mechanics of breathing: Boyle’s law, diaphragm, intercostals Lung compliance, elasticity, surface tension Gas exchange: Dalton’s law, Henry’s law, partial pressures (O₂ & CO₂) Oxygen transport (hemoglobin, cooperative binding) Carbon dioxide transport (bicarbonate, chloride shift) Ventilation-perfusion coupling, chemoreceptors (central & peripheral) COPD, emphysema, asthma, pneumothorax, respiratory acidosis/alkalosis Section 5: Gastrointestinal (GI) Physiology Motility, secretion, absorption Peristalsis vs. segmentation, phasic vs. tonic contractions Layers of the alimentary canal (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa) Zymogens, brush border enzymes Why This Guide Works: Correct answers provided – no searching, no confusion Clear Q&A format – perfect for self-testing and active recall Clinical correlations – understand how concepts apply to real diseases (asthma, COPD, HIV/AIDS, autoimmune disorders) Memory aids – includes helpful analogies (bank wall vs. surveillance camera) Perfect For: University of Connecticut (UConn) PNB 2265 students Pre-med, nursing, and health science majors Anyone needing to master immunity, respiration, and digestion for physiology exams Format: Digital PDF (Instant Download) – 42 pages, ready for tablet annotation or printing

PNB 2265 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
|ALL GRADED A+


Non-Specific (innate) Immune System Analogy - ANS.... -Bank wall to keep robbers
out


Specific (adaptive) Immune System Analogy - ANS.... -Surveillance camera to
identify specific bank robber


Role of Immune Responses - ANS.... -Defend/protect against infection by
microbes, immune surveillance, elimination of damaged cells


Negative Aspect of Immune - ANS.... -Allergies/hypersensitivity, autoimmune
diseases, and organ transplant reactions


Microbes - ANS.... -Viruses, bacteria, fungi, other parasites (specific immune
protects against this)


Non-Specific Defenses - ANS.... -(Protect against foreign matter without having to
specifically recognize its identity) Physical barriers, phagocytes, immunological
surveillance, interferons, complement system, inflammatory response, fever


Physical Barriers - ANS.... -Prevent approach and deny access to pathogens
(epithelium, secretions, duct of sweat gland, hair, skin and mucous membranes,
variety of protective chemicals, ciliated mucosa, acidity of the skin, gastric HCl,
enzymes, lysozyme of saliva

,Phagocytes - ANS.... -Remove debris and pathogens (fixed macrophage,
neutrophil, free macrophage, eosinophil, monocyte)


Immunological Surveillance - ANS.... -Destroys abnormal cells, for example NK
cells attach to abnormal cells and lyse them


Interferons - ANS.... -Increase resistance of cells to viral infection (slow/INTERFERE
with the spread of a disease),
-interferons are released by activated lymphocytes, macrophages, or virus-
infected cells


Complement System - ANS.... -(Series of enzymes( Attacks and breaks down cell
walls, attracts phagocytes
-For ex, a bunch of complement attaches to the cell wall of a pathogen and then
lyses it


Inflammatory Response - ANS.... -Multiple effects
-Blood flow increased
-Phagocytes activated
-Increased capillary permeability
-Complement activated
-Clotting reaction walls of the region
-Regional temperature increased
-Specific defenses activated

,Chemical Alarms Released into ECF that Medicate Inflammation - ANS.... -
Histamines, Kinins, Prostaglandins, Complement, Other Cytokines


Histamines - ANS.... -Released by mast cells, promote vasodilation and increased
capillary permeability


Kinins - ANS.... -(Ex. Bradykinin) Cleaved from kininogin protein, similar effects to
histamine but also induces CHEMOTAXIS OF LEUKS and stimulate neutrophils to
RELEASE ENZYME that then generate more kinins, INDUCE PAIN


Prostaglandins - ANS.... -Make BV more sensitized to effects of the other
inflammatory mediators and INDUCE PAIN


Complement - ANS.... -Protein that lyses microorganisms, enhances phagocytosis
by opsonization, intensifies inflammatory response


Other Cytokines - ANS.... -Mediators/signals for inflammation, play roles in
specific defense mechanisms


Opsonins - ANS.... -Proteins that attract phagocytosis


Fever - ANS.... -Mobilizes defenses, accelerates repairs, inhibits pathogens (body
temp rises above 37.2 in response to pathogens), increases metabolic rate of cells


Lymphatic System Consists of - ANS.... -Lymph, lymphatic vessels, lymphoid
tissues, lymphoid organs

, Lymph - ANS.... -A colorless fluid containing white blood cells, that bathes the
tissues and drains through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream


Lymphatic Vessels - ANS.... -Carry lymph, capillaries are blind-ended located at
vascular capillary beds, can be afferent and efferent


Primary Lymphoid Organs - ANS.... -Thymus and bone marrow ("lymphoid tissue")


Thymus - ANS.... -Primary lymphoid organ where T lymphocytes mature


Bone Marrow - ANS.... -Primary lymphoid organ that produces all lymphocytes,
where the B cells amture


Functions of the Lymphatic System - ANS.... -Body fluid homeostasis and immune
system


Lymph Nodes - ANS.... -Capsule of fibrous tissue, partitions (differentiated from
nodules), where 99% of antigens are removed and processed (FILTERS), contain
macrophages


Dendritic Cells - ANS.... -Found in certain tissues, if activated migrate to lymph
nodes to present antigen


Lymphatic Nodules - ANS.... -Lymphocytes densely packed in loose CT, found in CT
under the epithelium of respiratory, digestive, and urinatry tracts NO FIBROUS
CAPSULE
