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.

, 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 system also has
nonspecific effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific functions. Nonspecific
components of the immune system include mononuclear phagocytes, 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 acquired
resistance to infectious diseases. A deficiency or dysfunction of the immune system 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 elements, with
the distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, mobility, replicability, and cooperation
among different cells or cellular products. Specificity and memory are characteristics of
lymphocytes in the immune system. Nonspecific elements of the immune system demonstrate
mobility. In addition, specific and nonspecific cellular components of the immune system can
replicate. Cooperation is required for optimal functioning, and interaction involves specific
cellular elements, cell products, 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
