Acquired Immunity - Humeral

Question 1

Humeral Immunity

Answer 1

Characterized by discrimination, diversity, and memory with the production of antibodies by B cells in response to antigens

Question 2

Epitope

Answer 2

Part of bacteria that antibodies bind to

Question 3

Production of Antibodies

Answer 3

circulating B cells encounter an antigen and respond by dividing and differentiating into memory cells and plasma cells which produce antibodies

Question 4

IgG

Answer 4

Main antibody found in circulation, able to cross the placenta

Question 5

IgA

Answer 5

Mainly found in secretions, protects mucuosal tissues

Question 6

IgM

Answer 6

forms large complexes with antigens that are easily removed

Question 7

IgD

Answer 7

Has no clear function

Question 8

IgE

Answer 8

Involved in allergy development

Question 9

Antibody Antigen Binding Process

Answer 9

Agglutinaton, Opsonization, Neutralization, and Strengthening of the immune system by triggering release of complements

Question 10

Agglutination

Answer 10

Antibodies bind to antigen epitopes

Question 11

Opsonization

Answer 11

antigen is coated with antibodies and is engulfed by phagocytes

Question 12

Neutralization

Answer 12

antigen is blocked from action by antibodies

Question 13

Strengthening of Immune Response

Answer 13

triggers release of complements
