a. Romans.
b. Greeks.
c. Chinese.
d. Native Americans. tx

3. A specific function of the immune system is to
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


a. recognize self from nonself. tx tx tx


b. defend the body against nonself. tx tx tx tx


c. amplify specific functions. tx tx


d. Both A and B. tx tx tx




ANS: D t x


The function of the immune system is to recognize self from nonself and defend the body agai
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


nst nonself. Such a system is necessary for survival. The immune system also has nonspecific
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific functions. Nonspecific components of t
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


he immune system include mononuclear phagocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and solu
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


ble factors (e.g., complement).

DIF: Cognitive Level: I tx tx




4. An undesirable consequence of immunity is
tx tx tx tx tx


a. natural resistance. tx


b. acquired resistance to infectious diseases. tx tx tx tx

, c. an autoimmune disorder.
tx tx


d. recovery from infectious disease. tx tx tx




ANS: C t x


The desirable consequences of immunity include natural resistance, recovery, and acquired resis
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


tance to infectious diseases. A deficiency or dysfunction of the immune system can cause many d
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


isorders. Undesirable consequences of immunity include allergy, rejection of a transplanted org
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


an, or an autoimmune disorder.

5. The immune system has various distinctive characteristics except;
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


a. specificity.
b. memory.
c. mobility.
d. noncooperation among different cells. tx tx tx




ANS: D t x


The immune system is composed of a large, complex set of widely distributed elements, with
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


the distinctive characteristics of specificity, memory, mobility, replicability, and cooperation
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


among different cells or cellular products. Specificity and memory are characteristics of lymp
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


hocytes in the immune system. Nonspecific elements of the immune system demonstrate mobil
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


ity. In addition, specific and nonspecific cellular components of the immune system can replic
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx


ate. Cooperation is required for optimal functioning, and interaction involves specific cellular
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx t


xelements, cell products, and nonlymphoid elements.
