Question 13

An integrated defense system composed of tissues, cells and molecules

Answer 13

immune system

Question 14

Two types of immune responses

Answer 14

innate and adaptive

Question 15

The cells of the immune system are generated in these two PRIMARY lymphoid tissues

Answer 15

bone marrow

thymus

Question 16

Where virtually all the cells of the immune response originate from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells

Answer 16

bone marrow

Question 17

Where one type of immune system cell, the T lymphocyte, develops functionality

Answer 17

thymus

Question 18

Adaptive responses are induced in these three SECONDARY lymphoid tissues

Answer 18

mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)
lymph nodes
spleen

Question 19

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) has pathogens at

Answer 19

mucosal surfaces

Question 20

Lymph nodes has pathogens in

Answer 20

body tissues

Question 21

The spleen has pathogens in

Answer 21

blood circulation

Question 22

This immune response has a broad specificity for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)

Answer 22

innate immune response

Question 23

This immune response has the same intensity every time

Answer 23

innate immune response

Question 24

With this immune response, there is a rapid response (minutes to hours): cells already in body tissues or recruited directly from blood circulation

Answer 24

innate immune response

Question 25

Adaptive immune response has _______ specificity for antigens

Answer 25

high

Question 26

This immune response is stronger and faster upon re-infection

Answer 26

adaptive

Question 27

This immune response initially has a rather slow response (days): cells need to proliferate in secondary lymphoid tissues

Answer 27

adaptive

Question 28

Molecules shared by groups of related microbes that are essential for the survival of those organisms and are not found associated with mammalian cells

Answer 28

pathogens-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS)

Question 29

Cell proliferation in secondary lymphoid tissues is associated with what immune response

Answer 29

adaptive

Question 30

Pattern recognition receptors plays a crucial role in which immune system

Answer 30

innate immune system

Question 31

Two types of immune system circulations in the body

Answer 31

blood circulation | lymphatic circulation

Question 32

The 3 strategies to eliminate pathogens

Answer 32

phagocytosis released molecule kills pathogen cell kills infected cell

Question 33

What occurs during phagocytosis

Answer 33

phagocytic cell engulfs and destroys the pathogen

Question 34

Primary vs. secondary immune response-immunological memory can be associate with which immune response

Answer 34

adaptive immune response
