COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS
ANSWERS VERIFIED A+
◉ immune response.
Answer: the collective and coordinated response of cells and molecules
to the introduction of a foreign substance
◉ vaccine.
Answer: a preparation of microbial antigen, often combined with
adjuvants, that is administered to individuals to induce protective
immunity against microbial infections
◉ innate immunity.
Answer: response mechanisms that exist before infection, are capable of
rapid responses to microbes, and react in essentially the same way to
repeated infections
◉ adaptive immunity.
Answer: the form of immunity that is mediated by lymphocytes and is
stimulated by exposure to infections agents
◉ specific immunity.
,Answer: another name for adaptive immunity
◉ lymphocyte.
Answer: type of white blood cell that produces antibodies that help
destroy pathogens
◉ antigen.
Answer: Any foreign molecule that is specifically recognized by
lymphocytes and elicits an immune response
◉ antibody.
Answer: Protein that is produced by lymphocytes and that attaches to a
specific antigen.
◉ b lymphocyte.
Answer: a lymphocyte derived from bone marrow that provides humoral
immunity
◉ humoral immunity.
Answer: specific immunity produced by B cells that produce antibodies
that circulate in body fluids
◉ cell-mediated immunity.
Answer: type of immunity produced by T cells that attack infected or
abnormal body cells
, ◉ t lymphocytes.
Answer: provide cell-mediated immunity and are processed by the
thymus gland
◉ active immunity.
Answer: immunity that develops as a result of natural or deliberate
exposure to an antigen
◉ passive immunity.
Answer: immunity in which antibodies are given to a person rather than
produced within the person's own body
◉ sensitized.
Answer: individuals who have been exposed to a foreign substance
◉ hypersensitivity disease.
Answer: disease caused by abnormal or excessive immune reactions
◉ opsonization.
Answer: coating antigen with an antibody and enhances phagocytosis
◉ lymphocyte repertoire.
