A&P2-ClassNotes P39 Immune Sys #8/Test 3

        Help!  

Question
Answer
COMPLETE ANTIGENS:   are antigens that have at least two ANTIGEN DETERMINANT SITES-one for each of the antigen binding sites of an antibody molecule  
🗑
ANTIGENIC DETERMINANT SITES are the portions of the:   antigen that are exposed and will react with an antibody  
🗑
HAPTENS are:   PARTIAL ANTIGENS  
🗑
PARTIAL ANTIGENS are molecules that:   are two small to initiate an immune response on thier own  
🗑
Partial antigens can link with a CARRIER to:   create a complete antigen  
🗑
A complete antigen is a:   combination that will activate body defenses  
🗑
The carrier may contribute:   An antigenic determinant site  
🗑
The antibodies produced will attack both:   the antigen and its carrier molecule (ie:poisen ivy, cosmetics, etc...)  
🗑
Most antigens have multiple antigenic determinents and:   either antibodies or lymphocytes can attach to them  
🗑
Self-antigens are not antigenic to us, but:   form a basis for transfusion reactions & implant rejections in others  
🗑
MHC stands for:   MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX  
🗑
MHC proteins are glycoproteins that:   are on our cell membranes & specifically mark those membranes as self  
🗑
HLA stands for:   HUMAN LEUKOCYTE ANTIGENS  
🗑
HLA's are part of the :   MHC system  
🗑
Healthy cells have MHC peptides that:   are produced from the breakdown of normal cellular proteins & processes  
🗑
Classes of MHC proteins include:   CLASS 1 MHC & CLASS 11 MHC  
🗑
Class 1 MHC - all body cells except:   RBC's  
🗑
Class 1 MHC is the class that:   activates cytotoxic T-cells  
🗑
CLASS 11 MHC is located on the surface of:   mature B-cells, some T-cells and macrophages.  
🗑
The Class 11 MHC is used to allow cells to:   recognize one another during a battle  
🗑
The IMMUNE SYSTEM is ______ specific.   antigen  
🗑
The Immune system is systemic, not isolated to:   initial infection site.  
🗑
The immune sys is equipped with memory after:   initial attacks  
🗑
There are several forms of immunity and they all:   involve defensive T-cells & B-cells.  
🗑
T-cells cannot react to antigens in:   solution and B-Cells cannot cross a cell membrane.  
🗑
Why do you need both T & B cells?   T cells cannot react to antigens in solution and B-cells cannot cross a cell membrane.  
🗑
The t-cells defend against:   abnormal cells as well as antigens within cells  
🗑
B-cells defend against pathogens:   outside the cell that are within the body fluids  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
