Question
Answer
Which of the following substances is produced by plasma cells (mature B cells)?   immunoglobulins  
🗑
The cell markers present on the surface of all cells that indicate "self" or "non-self" are called   epitopes  
🗑
The classification of immunoglobulin responsible for allergic reactions by stimulating Mast Cells to release histamine is   IgE  
🗑
The primary immune system organ which produces stem cells, many of which will eventually mature into various types of lymphocytes, is(are) the   bone marrow  
🗑
The chemical message substances released from Helper T cells which not only regulate B cell maturation and proliferation, but also differentiation of immature T cells into mature cytotoxic and regulatory T cells are   lymphokines  
🗑
Type IV - Delayed Hypersensitivity   Contact dermatitis for latex, adhesive, topical medication, or cosmetic sensitivity  
🗑
Type III - Immune Complex Disease   Acute inflammation and local tissue damage due to the clumping of normally circulating antigen-antibody complexes. Ex: systemic lupus erthematosus  
🗑
Type I - Immediate/Allergic   Typical allergic reactions such as hay fever. May result in anaphylaxis  
🗑
Type II - Cytotoxic Reactions to Self   The body's own tissue is recognized as foreign and the immune system is activated. Results in slow destruction of cellular membranes of normal tissues. Ex: blood transfusion reactions, myasthenia gravis  
🗑
The most appropriate position to place a person in if he/she is experiencing anaphylatic shock is   supine with feet elevated  
🗑
Passive Natural Immunity   D. Transplacental, colostrum, and/or breast milk antibody exposure from mother to fetus/baby  
🗑
Passive Artificial Immunity   Inoculation of antibody or antitoxin  
🗑
Active Natural Immunity   Natural contact and infection with an antigen (environmental exposure)  
🗑
Active Artificial Immunity   Inoculation of antigen (vaccination); live or dead antigen  
🗑
antigen   Any foreign substance in the body that does not have the characteristic cell surface markers of that individual and is capable of eliciting an immune response  
🗑
The neuroendrocrine organ essential for regulation of the immune system is the   Pituitary  
🗑
The immune organ where T cells differentiate from their origin of lymphoid stem cells and mature is(are) the   thymus  
🗑
Primary organs of the immune system   bone marrow and thymus  
🗑
secondary organs of the immune system   lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, adenoids, appendix  
🗑
Tissues of immune system   peyers patches  
🗑
cells of immune system   luekocytes, lymphocytes (NK cells), other phagocytes  
🗑
granulocytes   neutro-, eosino, baso-phils  
🗑
the _____ filters and destroys old RBCs   spleen  
🗑
What is the spleens immune role?   filters blood antigens  
🗑
monocytes produce what   macrophages  
🗑
______ bring in Ag thru the blood to the spleen   macrophages  
🗑
the spleens ______ destroy antigens   T cells  
🗑
the spleen's ______ produce and antibody vs the antigen   B cells  
🗑
mature B cells differentiate into   plasma cells  
🗑
any substance capable of triggering an immune response is a _______   antigen  
🗑
epitopes-   anything on the antigen that the antibody identifies and attaches to  
🗑
what happens if an epitope is misinterpreted where self is identified as nonself   auto immune disease  
🗑
proteins present on the surface of all cell bodies   self markers/ MHC  
🗑
what allows the immune system cells to recognize and communicate with one another?   MHC  
🗑
growth and reproduction of stem cells are controlled by proteins called:   growth inducers and differentiation inducers  
🗑
the most numerous of WBCs; die after phagocytosis and contribute to pus formation   neutrophils  
🗑
These cells clean up after neutrophils and kill any damaged but not dead backteria or too large for neturophils   monocytes  
🗑
weak phagocytes that participate in allergic disorders; destroy parasites   eosinophils  
🗑
histamine is produced by what cells   basophils  
🗑
basophils-   similar to mast cells; produce histamine;  
🗑
NK cells are what type   lymphocytes  
🗑


   

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.
