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.

ANS: C
Beginning about 1000 AD, the Chinese practiced a form of immunization by inhaling dried
powders derived from the crusts of smallpox lesions.

DIF: Cognitive Level: I

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.
