Immune System Histology

Question 1

What 5 components make up the innate immune response

Answer 1

Epithelial surfaces
Macrophages
Dendritic cells
Natural killer cells
Complement system

Question 2

Innate immune epithelial surface

Answer 2

Prevent entry of pathogens

Question 3

Innate immune macrophages

Answer 3

Receptors on macrophages recognize foreign molecules . The receptors on macrophages ingest and kill the pathogens

Question 4

Cytokines

Answer 4

Contribute to inflammatory response
Dilation of blood vessels
Increase temperature
Blood clotting
Can activate proliferation of T cells

Question 5

Answer 5

Dendritic cells

Question 6

Natural killer cells

Answer 6

Recognize and selectively kill virus infected cells and cancer cells

Question 7

Adaptive immune response components

Answer 7

T lymphocytes
B lymphocytes
Plasma cells = activated B lymphocytes
Antigen presenting cells

Question 8

Two types of adaptive response

Answer 8

Cell mediated response
Antibody response

Question 9

Cell mediated response

Answer 9

T cells kill pathogen infected cells
Help activate B cells
