1.- the protection provided through transfer ofantibodies from mother to fetus is an example of
- active immunity
- autoimmunity
- cell-meditate immunity
- clonal selection
- passive immunity
2.- in mammalian defenses against invading pathogens,all of these are considered nonspecific defense mechanismsexcept
- the inflammatory response
- acquire immunity
- mucous membrane
- the skin
3.- antigens are
- proteins that consists of two light and two heavy chainpolypeptide chains
- proteins that are not your own
- proteins on the surface of B-cell membranes
- proteins on the surface of macrophage membranes
- proteins on the surface of T-cell membrane
4.- generally speaking vaccinations are effective incombatting future infections because they induce the productionof
- neutrophils
- helper T cells
- mutation in the host genome
- memory cells
5.- most allergy medicines contain antihistamines thatblock the actions of histamine. These drugs reduce cold symptoms bydirectly
- lysing virus-infected cells and preventing further propagationof the pathogen
- blocking or reducing the inflammation response in mucousmembrane
- recruiting macrophages to the nasal epithelium
- stimulating components of the immune system through the releaseof cytokines
- stimulating the production of a specific antibodies
6.- the quick response of the immune system to a secondinfection is due to the ____, a feature of the immune system asdemonstrated by the success of vaccines
- activation of macrophage cells
- innate immune system
- suppression of supervisor cells
- new cytotoxic T cell
- adaptive immune system
7.- which immune system can respond to any pathogen,even those that have never been encountered before ?
- cell-mediated
- adaptive
- innate
- inflammatory response
- antibody-mediate
8.- as part of the inflammatory response, ______ engulfand destroy invading bacteria
- antibodies
- dead skin cells
- Histamines
- mast cells
- macrophages
9.- Eutherian mammals are uniquely definedby
- the young developing in a pouch
- having a placenta
- having fur
- longer gestation periods because of more highly developedplacentas
- laying eggs
