PSY 352 MIDTERM EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
immune system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Consists of tissues, organs, and
| | | | | | | |
|processes that protect the body from invasion
| | | | | | |
1. Protects the body against stress-related diseases
| | | | | |
2. May be the mechanism by which stress causes disease
| | | | | | | | |
3. Locates foreign microorganisms, mutant cells, or damaged cells
| | | | | | | |
4. Activates processes to eliminate them
| | | | |
Components of the Immune System - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1. Lymph -
| | | | | | | | | |
tissue of the lymphatic system
| | | |
2. Lymphocytes - type of white blood cells found in lymph
| | | | | | | | | |
Functions of Immune System - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Main function is
| | | | | | | | |
to defend against foreign substances.
| | | | |
Two ways immune system does this:
| | | | |
— Nonspecific (general) response
| | |
— Specific responses
| |
, Phagocytosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-process that removes unwanted
| | | | | | |
invaders as a nonspecific mechanism
| | | |
Inflammation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-restores tissues that have been
| | | | | | | |
damaged by invaders as a nonspecific mechanism.
| | | | | |
Example: Boy falls which initiates acute, then mediators are produced at
| | | | | | | | | |
site of stimulus. Blood vessels dilate and increase permeability. Attract
| | | | | | | | | | |
phagocytes to site of inflammation and activate them.
| | | | | | |
cell-mediated immunity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-T-cells recognize the
| | | | | | |
invader and attack it as a specific immune response
| | | | | | | |
B-cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-secrete ANTIBODIES which are
| | | | | | |
manufactured in response to a specific invader as a specific immune
| | | | | | | | | | |
response
secondary immune response - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Occurs during
| | | | | | |
subsequent exposure to invaders. | | | |
Memory lymphocytes - enable rapid immune response on second
| | | | | | | | |
exposure to invaders. | |
vaccinations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-weakened forms of viruses or
| | | | | | | |
bacteria that are introduced into the body to stimulate the production
| | | | | | | | | | |
of antibodies:
| |
