🗑
Which type of white blood cell secretes the anticoagulant heparin?   basophil  
🗑
The four major signs of an inflammation include all of the following except   odor.  
🗑
Histamine, bradykinin, and leukotrienes stimulate vasodilation and increased blood flow.   True  
🗑
Which of the following terms means to coat bacteria, making them easier to phagocytize by macrophages and neutrophils?   opsonization  
🗑
If you have an immunological memory of a disease, a second exposure to the same pathogen will cause no noticeable illness.   True  
🗑
There are five classes of antibodies. Which one can cross the placenta to provide immunological protection for the newborn?   IgG  
🗑
A virgin lymphocyte pool is a clone of B cells that have not yet been exposed to the antigens that they are "programmed" to recognize.   False  
🗑
B cells that have taken in a large antigen must be stimulated by a helper T cell before they can react to that antigen.   True  
🗑
Antibodies do not destroy antigens directly.   True  
🗑
The antibody type created during the quicker secondary response is mainly IgG.   True  
🗑
Helper T cells are also known as CD8 or T8 cells.   False  
🗑
Cytotoxic T cells directly attack and kill all of the following except   Cytotoxic T cells respond to abnormal body cells, not to free bacteria.  
🗑
An injection of gamma globulin is an example of which of the following classes of immunity?   Artificial passive immunity is produced by an injection of gamma globulin.  
🗑
Epinephrine   Epinephrine, not acetylcholine, dilates bronchioles and increases cardiac output.  
🗑
Which of the four classes of hypersensitivity is a cellular immune response, and not a humoral immune response?   Type IV is a cellular immune response.

🗑
When a white blood cell manages to ooze through the gap between two endothelial cells on its way to attack an invader, we say it has exhibited   diapedesis  
🗑
Interferons have this function:   stimulate neighboring cells to produce antiviral proteins  
🗑

🗑
HIV attaches to the CD-4 membrane protein of these cells:   helper T  
🗑


   

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.
