🗑
What cells recognize antigens and initiate the immune response?   show
🗑

show lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, appendix  
🗑
show the bone marrow  
🗑
show B cells - bone marrow; T cells - thymus  
🗑
show they become immunocompetent  
🗑
show by the appearance of specific cell-surface proteins that enable the lymphocytes to respond (by binding) to a particular antigen  
🗑
After differentiation, what do the B and T cells do after they leave the bone marrow and thymus?   show
🗑
What is triggered when an antigen binds to the specific cell-surface receptors of a T or B cell?   show
🗑
What event causes the lymphocyte to proliferate rapidly, forming a clone of like cells, all bearing the same antigen-specific receptors?   show
🗑
In the presence of certain regulatory signals, what kind of cells form in members of the clone ?   show
🗑
In the case of B cell clones, some become what type of cells?   show
🗑
In the case of B cell clones, some become memory B cells and some form antibody-producing what?   show
🗑
show humoral immunity  
🗑
show T cell clones  
🗑
show Because some contain cytotoxic T cells, effector cells that directly attack virus-infected tissue cells)  
🗑
Which cells contain helper T cells that help activate the B cells and cytotoxic T cells?   show
🗑
Which cell clones contain memory cells?   show
🗑
What are suppressor T cells found in T cell clones?   show
🗑
Which cells are said to mediate cellular immunity because they act directly to destroy cells infected with viruses, certain bacteria or parasites, and cancer cells, and to reject foreign grafts?   show
🗑
What happens in the absence or failure of thymic differentiation of T lymphocytes?   show
🗑
What has been found to be correlated with age and the relatively immune-deficient status of the elderly?   show
🗑
What is enclosed within a fibrous capsule, from which connective tissue septa (trabeculae) extend inward to divide the node into several compartments?   show
🗑
show the cortex  
🗑
show germinal centers  
🗑
show rapidly dividing B cells  
🗑
show primarily T cells that circulate continuously  
🗑
show the medulla  
🗑
How are the cells arranged in the medulla of the lymph gland?   show
🗑
show macrophages  
🗑
show they play an essential role in 'presenting' the antigens to the T cells  
🗑
How does lymph enter the node?   show
🗑
What does lymph do after it enters the node thru afferent vessels?   show
🗑
How does lymph leave the node after circulating thru the sinuses?   show
🗑
show more afferent vessels  
🗑
show to keep the lymph flow stagnant somewhat within the node to allow time for the generation of an immune response and for macrophages to remove debris from the lymph before it reenters the blood vascular system  
🗑

show Antigens and antibodies are placed in wells in a gel and allowed to diffuse toward one another.  
🗑
In the Ouchterlony double-gel diffusion technique, if an antigen reacts with an antibody, a thin white line forms called a what?   show
🗑
What are antigens?   show
🗑
AFter the antigens are broken down inside the cell, where are they transported?   show

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.
