| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which body system is responsible for allergic reactions? | Immune System |
| Which is NOT a symptom of an allergic reaction? Itchy Mouth, Tightness in throat, Fever | Fever |
| Is there a cure for allergies? | no |
| A serious allergic reaction that comes on quickly and has the potential to be deadly is called: | Anaphylaxis |
| Which is NOT an example of an Autoimmune disease? Rheumatoid arthritis, Anaphylaxis, Multiple Sclerosis | Anaphylaxis |
| During an allergic reaction, antibodies bound to antigen (allergen) trigger Mast cells to release what? | Histamine |
| An immune response that causes tissue damage is called a(n) | allergy (hypersensitivity) |
| Lymph nodes are clustered in key areas including all but which? axillary region, hands, neck, groin | hands |
| Vaccines should be used at your own risk because of their link to autism (true or false) | FALSE |
| This works by triggering a primary immune response so that your body has memory cells and can react quickly to an actual pathogen if ever exposed. | vaccines |
| This immune response is larger and stronger. | The adaptive immune system in response to a second exposure to the same antigen |
| These white blood cells mature in the bone marrow and produce antibodies to attack extracellular antigens | B cells |
| These white blood cells mature in the Thymus and attack cells infected with intracellular antigens. | T cells |
| This immune system reacts immediately after an infection of an antigen | Innate or non-specific immunity. |
| This immune system can take 14 days to respond to an infection from an antigen the first time. | adaptive immunity |
| Why does your body respond so much faster the second time you are exposed to the same antigen? | Your adaptive immune system produced memory cells. |
| A foreign molecule that causes an immune response | antigen |
| Fever, swelling, redness are what type of immune response? | 2nd barrier, innate or non-specific immunity |
| Your skin, mucus membranes, secretions are all part of which immune response? | 1st barrier, innate or non-specific immunity |
| B and T cells are part of which immune response | 3rd response, specific or adaptive immunity |
| Being antigen specific, having memory and systemic are attributes of which immune system? | Adaptive immune system |
| It is important to maintain a high level of vaccination in a community to protect those who cannot receive vaccines. What is this immunity called? | Herd immunity |
