replicate within body cells.

32
Q

Iron-binding proteins inhibit the growth of certain bacteria by __________

A

reducing the amount of available iron.

33
Q

Examples of Iron-binding proteins are

A

  • lactoferrin (found in milk, saliva, and mucus)
  • ferritin (found in the liver, spleen, and red bone marrow),
  • hemoglobin (found in red blood cells).
34
Q

_______ is a defensive response of the body to tissue damage.
S/s are redness, pain, heat, and swelling
-can also cause the loss of function in the injured area,
depending on the site and extent of the injury.

A

Inflammation

35
Q

What part of the internal defense
-Commonly occurs during infection and inflammation
-Abnormally high body temperature occurs because the hypothalamic thermostat is reset.
-Elevated body temperature intensifies the effects of interferons, inhibits the growth of some microbes, and speeds up body reactions
that aid repair.

A

Fever……

36
Q

Inflammation helps restore what?

A

tissue homeostasis

37
Q

The branch of science that deals with the responses of the body to antigens is called?

True/False

Most memory cells eventually die after the immune response has been completed

A

FALSE

Effector cells die

58
Q

True/False
Effector cells do not actively participate in the initial immune response to the antigen. However, if the same antigen enters the body again in the future, the thousands of these cells are available to initiate a far swifter reaction than occurred during the first invasion.

A

False

Memory cells do not actively participate in the initial immune response to the antigen.

Q

True/False
Most memory cells do not die at the end of an immune response. Instead, they have long life spans. Often lasting for decades.

True

60
Q

__________ (meaning antibody generator) causes the body to produce specific antibodies and/or specific T cells that react with it.

Antigen

61
Q

IgA, 
IgM,
IgE.
IgD,
63
Q

What Antibody indicates a recent invasion, because they appear first and are relatively short-lived?

A

IGM

64
Q

Resistance of the fetus and newborn to infection stems mainly from maternal ___ antibodies that cross the placenta before birth
and ____ antibodies in breast milk after birth.

A

65
Q

Resistance of the fetus and newborn to infection stems mainly from maternal ___ antibodies that cross the placenta before birth and ____ antibodies in breast milk after birth.

A

66
Q

B or T

_____ cells can recognize and bind to antigens in lymph, interstitial fluid, or blood plasma

A

B

67
Q

B or T

____ cells only recognize fragments of antigens that are processed and presented in a certain way.

A
