What’s the term for the body’s response to infection or tissue injury?
Inflammatory response
Which immune system involves physical and chemical barriers to prevent tissue injury or infection?
Innate
Pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of use are classic signs off
Inflammation
Which process begins when chemicals are released from an infected site and blood vessels dilate to allow neutrophils into tissues, where the neutrophils kill bacteria with chemicals in their cytoplasm?
Phagocytosis
Which of the following can be a protective mechanism of the immune system but can cause tissue damage?
Inflammation
Which cell type changes to macrophages as it migrates to various tissues and organs and when it interacts with cytokines?
Monocytes
Macrophages that are derived from multiple tissue types make up which type of system?
Mononuclear phagocytic system.
Which cell type activates phagocytes by releasing interferon-y
Natural killers
what’s another name for cytokines that elicit other cellular reactions?
Interferons
what’s another name for a group of proteins found in the blood that are integral in both the innate and adaptive immunity systems?
complement system
Which of the following produces antibodies?
B lymphocytes
which term refers to the binding of complement proteins to the antigen that promotes phagocytosis?
Opsonization
which cell type is responsible for the adaptive immune system?
Lymphocytes
which body organ produces mature b lymphocytes?
Bone marrow
Which body organ produces mature t lymphocytes?
thymus
Which immunoglobulin functions in fetal and neonatal immunity by passive transfer from the placenta and colostrum?
IgG
What’s the result of antigens binding with antibodies and forming insoluble complexes?
Precipitation
what’s the end result of the complement system being activated by antibodies
Opsonization
The ability to differentiate between antigen receptors for foreign antigens and the animals’ own antigen cell is referred to as
