immunology kahoots Flashcards
blood leukocytes are made up of granulocytes and agranulocytes. which cell type is not an example of a granulocyte: neutrophil, lymphocyte, basophil, eosinophil?
lymphocyte
all blood cells arise from pluripotent haematopoietic stem cells then differentiate into which two cell types - bone marrow stem cell, myeoblast stem cell, myeloid stem cell, lymphoid stem cell?
myeloid stem cell and lymphoid stem cell
the role of a neutrophil is to engulf foreign invaders - true or false?
true
the thymus is the location for which cell types to develop - b lymphocytes, t lymphocytes, macrophages, all immune cells?
t lymphocytes
primary lymphoid organs are the major sites of lymphocyte development - is a lymph node a primary lymphoid organ?
no
which two organs are considered secondary lymphoid organs - bone marrow, MALT, spleen, skin?
MALT and spleen
which of the following is NOT an example of a non-specific defence mechanism - macrophage, mucus membranes, inflammation, T lymphocytes?
T lymphocytes - highly specialised
which of the following is not considered a professional phagocyte in the innate immune system - neutrophil, macrophage, b lymphocyte, t lymphocyte?
b lymphocyte - is phagocytic, just not a professional
which of the following is not considered a professional antigen presenting cell - b lymphocytes, neutrophil, macrophage, dendritic cell?
neutrophil
which of the following cells are NOT directly involved in the inflammation process - t lymphocytes, mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages?
t lymphocytes
which of the following does not occur in the inflammation process - increased blood vessel permeability, recruitment of phagocytes, vasoconstriction, activation of complement, killing of pathogen, repair of damaged tissues?
vasoconstriction - it’s actually vasodilation that happens
neutrophils find the way to the source of the infection by following PRRs and DAMPs - true or false?
false (they follow PAMPs and DAMPs, trick question)
