Study Guide: Immunity System

Which of the following cells is not involved with innate immunity?

The first line of defense in innate immunity is

Which of the following is a phagocytic monocyte that migrates out of the bloodstream?

The immune mechanism that provides a general defense by acting against anything recognized as nonself is termed adaptive immunity

Interferon has been proven effective as a treatment against most cancers

The complement cascade causes phagocytosis of the foreign cell that triggered it

Natural killer cells are a group of lymphocytes that kill many types of tumor cells and cells infected by different kinds of viruses

Molecular markers: [blank_start]antigen[blank_end] Process used by complement to mark microbes for destruction by phagocytes cells: [blank_start]opsonization[blank_end] Cytokine: [blank_start]interferon[blank_end] Pattern-recognition receptors in the membranes of host cells: [blank_start]toll-like receptors[blank_end] Second line of defense: [blank_start]phagocytes[blank_end] Ability to activate an effective response to an antigen: [blank_start]immunocompetence[blank_end] Must engage their target cells by direct contact to cause cell destruction: [blank_start]natural killer cells[blank_end] Another term for innate immunity: [blank_start]non-specific[blank_end] Major category of immune mechanism: [blank_start]innate immunity[blank_end] Name given to each of about 20 inactive enzymes in the plasma and on cell surfaces: [blank_start]complement[blank_end]

Chemicals released from cells to trigger or regulate innate and adaptive responses are [blank_start]cytokines[blank_end].

Natural killer cells are a group of [blank_start]lymphocytes[blank_end] that kill many types of tumor cells and cells infected with different types of viruses.

The ability of our immune system to attack abnormal or foreign cells but spare our own normal cells is [blank_start]self[blank_end] [blank_start]tolerance[blank_end].

Phagocytosis is a specific defense mechanism

Diapedesis si the movement of neutrophils out of the bloodstream and around the tissue cells to the site of the injury

Innate immunity is also knows as adaptive immunity

Sebum and mucus are part of the body's first line of defense

The primary cells involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells

B cells and T cells are examples of

Cell-mediated immunity involves

The T cell subsets that are clinically important in diagnosing AIDS are

The specific cells that secrete antibodies are

T cells are sensitized by

Complement can best be described as

The chemical messengers that T cells release into inflamed tissues are called

Antibodies are proteins of the family called [blank_start]immunoglobolins[blank_end]

[blank_start]IgM[blank_end] is the predominant class of antibody produced after initial contact with an antigen

The first vaccination was against the [blank_start]small[blank_end] [blank_start]pox[blank_end].

Some vaccines use [blank_start]attenuated[blank_end] (weakened) pathogens.

[blank_start]Active[blank_end] [blank_start]immunity[blank_end] generally lasts longer than passive immunity.

Abnormal antigens or [blank_start]tumor[blank_end] [blank_start]markers[blank_end] are present in the plasma membranes of some cancer cells in addition to self-antigens.

Helper T cells and suppressor T cells help regulate [blank_start]adaptive[blank_end] [blank_start]immunity[blank_end] function by regulating B cell and T cell function.

A fetus receives protection from the mother through [blank_start]natural[blank_end] [blank_start]passive[blank_end] immunity.

A vaccine provides [blank_start]artificial[blank_end] [blank_start]active[blank_end] immunity.

T cells do which of the following?

B cells do which of the following?

Which of the following kills invading cells by drilling a hole in their plasma membrane?

What is a rapidly growing population of identical cells that produce large quantities of specific antibodies called?

Which of the following is a form of passive natural immunity?

Hypersensitivity of the immune system to an environmental antigen is known as an [blank_start]allergy[blank_end].

Drugs used to relieve the symptoms of allergies are called [blank_start]antihistamine[blank_end].

A [blank_start]lymphotoxin[blank_end] is a powerful poison that acts directly and quickly to kill any cell it attacks.

Antibody-mediated immunity is sometimes referred to as [blank_start]humoral[blank_end] immunity.

Antibodies are proteins of the family called [blank_start]immunoglobulins[blank_end].

Complements attacks antigens by [blank_start]cytolysis[blank_end].

The chemical messengers released by T cells are called [blank_start]cytokines[blank_end].

Vaccinations are [blank_start]active[blank_end] forms of gaining immunity.
