Which of the following results when histamine attaches to the H1 receptor? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Smooth muscle contraction, increased chemotaxis, stimulation of prostaglandin
synthesis
Which chemical mediator is responsible for prolonged asthma symptoms such as
bronchoconstriction and inflammation? - CORRECT ANSWER- Leukotrienes
Which of the following are an active modulator of allergic reactions in the immune system? -
CORRECT ANSWER- Eosinophils
directs movement of cells along a chemical gradient attracting eosinophils and neutrophils to
the site of inflammation. - CORRECT ANSWER- Chemotaxis

damage cell membranes, activate second messengers, inhibit protein synthesis
immunity is produced by an individual after natural exposure to an antigen or after
immunization - CORRECT ANSWER- Active
immunity produces immunoglobulins that bind to antigens and neutralize their effects -
CORRECT ANSWER- Humoral
stimulates the proliferation of T cells and B cells during inflammation - CORRECT
ANSWER- Interleukins
Catecholamines decrease which of the following immune system cells during chronic stress?
- CORRECT ANSWER- Natural Killer cells
interfere with insulin signaling leading to insulin resistance in stress, obesity, and Type 2
Diabetes. - CORRECT ANSWER- Pro-inflammatory cytokines
what type of immunity is produced when an immunoglobulin crosses the placenta? -
CORRECT ANSWER- Passive acquired
the normal microbiome - CORRECT ANSWER- The body's surfaces are colonized with a
variety of microorganisms, Surfaces, such as skin and mucous membranes of eyes, upper and
lower GI tracts, urethra and vagina are colonized by a combination of bacteria and fungi that
are unique to a particular location and individual.
If immunocompromised the microbiome can lead to - CORRECT ANSWER- opportunistic
infections or loss of integrity of the body surface areas.
