Immune System 1.11 Flashcards
Passive immunity is defined as which of the following?
Protection against a specific pathogen resulting from the production of antibodies in response to the presence of specific antigen
A collection of nonspecific barriers and cellular responses that serve as an inborn first and second line of defense against pathogens
The temporary immunity gained by a body that has acquired antibodies from an outside source
A body’s response to a solution of dead or weakened pathogens introduced to the body for the purpose of stimulating antibody production for that pathogen
The temporary immunity gained by a body that has acquired antibodies from an outside source
The collective swelling, pain, heat, and redness resulting from an innate immune system response is called which of the following?
Inflammation
Antibody-mediated immunity
Passive immunity
Cell-mediated immunity
Inflammation
A person reacts to a bee sting with a life-threatening allergic response that affects the respiratory system. This response is in part due to the prod of antibodies. Which of the following is responsible for this allergic reaction?
Interferon
An autoimmune disease
The innate immune system
