Question
Answer
What does the immune system protect against?   show
🗑
show Self markers, Non-self markers, self tolerance  
🗑
Which is the identification is molecules on the surface of human cells that are unique to an individual, thus identifying the cell as “self” to the immune system?   show
🗑
show Non-self markers  
🗑
show Self-tolerance  
🗑
What are two major categories of immune mechanism?   show
🗑
show provides a general, nonspecific defense against anything that is not “self”  
🗑
Adaptive immunity acts as what?   show
🗑
What are the primary cells used for innate immunity?   show
🗑
show lymphocytes called T cells and B cells  
🗑
What is cytokines?   show
🗑
show Mechanical and chemical barriers  
🗑
show skin and mucous membranes  
🗑
show Inflammation  
🗑
What do inflammation mediators include?   show
🗑
show substances that attract white blood cells to the area of infection in a process called chemotaxis  
🗑
show heat, redness, pain, and swelling  
🗑
What is systemic inflammation?   show
🗑
show Phagocytosis  
🗑
show process by which immune cells (neutrophils) squeeze themselves through the wall of a blood vessel to get to the site of injury/infection  
🗑
show chemical attraction of cells to the source of the chemical attractant  
🗑
What is diapedesis?   show
🗑
show Neutrophil  
🗑
What are macrophages?   show
🗑
What are examples of macrophages?   show
🗑
show lymphocytes that kill tumor cells and cells infected by viruses  
🗑
show protein synthesized and released into the circulation by certain cells if invaded by viruses to signal other, nearby cells to enter a protective antiviral state  
🗑
show group of enzymes that produce a cascade of reactions resulting in a variety of immune responses  
🗑
What marks foreign cells for destruction by phagocytes?   show
🗑
What is the third line of defense?   show
🗑
show B lymphocytes (B Cells) and T lymphocytes (T Cell)  
🗑
show B-cell Mechanism (produce antibodies that attack pathogens)  
🗑
What pathogens are more directly classified as cell-mediated immunity (cellular immunity)?   show
🗑
When are lymphocytes densest?   show
🗑
show IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD  
🗑
show antibody that naïve B cells synthesize and insert into their own plasma membranes; it is the predominant class produced after initial contact with an antigen  
🗑
What is IgG?   show
🗑
show major class of antibody in the mucous membranes of respiratory and GI systems and in saliva and tears  
🗑
What is IgE?   show
🗑
show small amount in blood; precise function unknown  
🗑
What is the primary response of antibodies?   show
🗑
What is the secondary response of antibodies?   show
🗑
show lymphocytes that go through the thymus gland before migrating to the lymph nodes and spleen  
🗑
Pre T-cells develop into ___ while in ___?   show
🗑
Thymocytes stream into blood and are carried to T-dependant zones where?   show
🗑
show effector T cells and memory T cells  
🗑
Effector T cells do what?   show
🗑
What are cytotoxic T cells?   show
🗑
show regulate the function of the B cells, T cells, phagocytes, and other leukocytes  
🗑
show regulatory T cells that suppress lymphocyte function, thus regulating immunity and promoting self-tolerance  
🗑
show proteins (immunoglobulins) secreted by activated B cell  
🗑
show genetic mechanisms put innate immune mechanisms in place during development in the womb  
🗑
show resistance developed after birth  
🗑
show Natural immunity results from nondeliberate exposure to antigens; Artificial immunity results from deliberate exposure to antigens, called immunization  
🗑
Natural and artificial immunity may be what?   show
🗑
What is active immunity?   show
🗑
What is passive immunity?   show
🗑
show B cells are antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity; T cells are cell mediated (cellular) immunity  
🗑
show Recognition of antigen; Activation of lymphocytes; Effector phase (immune attack); Decline of antigen causes lymphocyte death (homeostatic balance); Memory cells remain for later response if needed  
🗑
Immune system is regulated to some degree by what two systems?   show
🗑
show blood cells, skin cells, mucosal cells, brain cells, liver cells, and other types of cells and their secretions  
🗑


   

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.
