MIMG 185 Midterm 1 Exam with |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




verified detailed solutions |!! |!!




Week 0 |!! |!!




What are physiologic barriers? - correct answer✔✔- Temperature, pH,
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




oxygen tension, soluble factors |!! |!! |!!




What are soluble factors? - correct answer✔✔- Lysosyme, interferons,
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




complement

|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




bacterial peptidoglycans |!!




What do interferons do? - correct answer✔✔- Antiviral effects, produced by
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




infected cells
|!! |!!




What are the complement? - correct answer✔✔- Series of proteins that
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




form a cascade on exposure to sialic acid, leading to bacterial lysis
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!

|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




Monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils |!! |!!




How does Phagocytosis works? - correct answer✔✔- Engulfs
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




particles/organisms via receptors, degrades them in lysosomes |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Receptor is nonspecific
|!! |!! |!!

,What does the receptor for Phagocytosis bind on bacteria? - correct
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




answer✔✔- Receptor binds lipopolysaccharides |!! |!! |!!




Which cells go through endocytosis? - correct answer✔✔- All cells
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- How cells bring fluids and nutrients (macromolecules) into their insides
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What is the inflammatory response? - correct answer✔✔- Vasodilation
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




causing increase in blood vessel diameter
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Increase in capillary permeability
|!! |!! |!! |!!




- Exudates (plasma proteins) released
|!! |!! |!! |!!




- Influx of phagocytic cells from blood into tissue
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What is the process in which phagocytic cells reaches site of infection to
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




cause inflammation? - correct answer✔✔- Margination - adherence to
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




capillary wall |!!




- Extravasation - exit from capillary
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Chemotaxis - migrations towards area of inflammation
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What are the soluble mediators involved in inflammation? - correct
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




answer✔✔- Acute phase proteins, Histamine, Kinins |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What do Acute phase proteins do? - correct answer✔✔- Released by the
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




liver, binds polysaccharides, initiate complement cascade
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What do Histamines do? - correct answer✔✔- Released from injury,
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




stimulate vasodilation |!!




What do Kinins do? - correct answer✔✔- Released following injury,
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




stimulates vasodilation, stimulate pain receptors in skin
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!

,What are the receptors involved in innate immunity used for and where do
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




they come from?
|!! |!! |!!




Give an example - correct answer✔✔- To discriminate between pathogens
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




and self |!!




- Uses germline-encoded receptors that recognize patterns
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Toll-like receptors (TLR): binding of these receptors activates the innate
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




cell



What is Acquired Immunity and what can it detect? - correct answer✔✔-
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




Adaptive immunity, specific |!! |!!




- Anamnestic response: memory response - more rapid and stronger
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




responses the 2nd time |!! |!! |!!




- Detects subtle changes in protein, carbohydrates, and lipids
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




* Innate response would not differentiate between two different bacteria,
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




but acquired will |!! |!!




How is acquired response specific? - correct answer✔✔- Must detect self
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




versus non-self |!!




- Must differentiate forms of non-self
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What are Antigens (Ag) and what molecules do the immune response
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




responds to? - correct answer✔✔- Antigen: molecule or structure against
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




which the immune response is directed to
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Immune response only sees bio-organic molecule, would not see glass or
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




a coke bottle
|!! |!! |!!




What can alter the antigenic university? - correct answer✔✔- Mutations
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




causing genetic change can rapidly alter Ags on pathogens
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!

, What are the main players in acquired immunity and what do they have? -
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




correct answer✔✔- Key players: lymphocytes B and T cells
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- They have receptors for antigens and are able to distinguish self from
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




non-self

- Receptors help remove Ag from the body
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What is found on the B cell receptor? - correct answer✔✔- B cell receptor
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




are Antibodies (Ab)
|!! |!!




- Abs can be found on the cell surface or in secreted forms (in
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




blood/lymph) --> able to bind antigen at a site away from the cell |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What is found on the T cell receptor (TCR)? - correct answer✔✔- Only
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




found on the T cell surface |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Receptor that is never secreted so cannot respond to antigens away
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




from it |!!




- TCR binds antigen on surface of other cells and cell surface proteins
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What is the Clonal Selection Theory for Antibody production? - correct
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




answer✔✔- Only a particular B cell makes a particular Antibody |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Each cell produces Abs of a single specificity
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Ab is displayed on cell surface
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Specificity of Ab is generated randomly
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




- Any cell making self-reactive Abs is eliminated
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




What is Clonal Expansion and how does it occur? - correct answer✔✔-
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




Cells (Mature B cells) reacting to antigen and proliferates (clonal
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




expansion)

- When cells proliferate, some become plasma cells and others become
|!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!! |!!




memory cells |!!
