16
Q

Two types of Acquired Immunity

A

Active Acquired Immunity
Passive Acquired Immunity

17
Q

Antibodies that are actually produced within the person’s body

A

Active Acquired Immunity

18
Q

Immunity that results from a vaccine

A

Artificial Active Acquired Immunity

19
Q

The person receives antibodies that were produced by another person or by more than one person

A

Passive Acquired Immunity

20
Q

This acquired immunity is temporary

A

Passive Acquired Immunity

21
Q

Acquired by an acquired immunity fetus when it receives antibodies un utero; infant receives colostrum

A

Natural Passive Acquired Immunity

22
Q

Acquired when acquired immunity a person receives antibodies contained in antisera or gamma globulin

A

Artificial Passive Acquired Immunity

23
Q

Defined as material that can artificially induce immunity to an infectious disease

A

Vaccine

24
Q

Deliberately exposes a person to a harmless version of pathogen or toxin

A

Vaccination

25
Q

The process of weakening of pathogens

A

Attenuation

26
Q

This should not be given to immunosuppresed individuals

A

Attenuated Vaccines

27
Q

Vaccines made by pathogens that have been inactivated viruses or viral antigens; killed by heat or chemicals

A

Inactivated vaccines

28
Q

Also known as acellular vaccine

A

Subunit Vaccine

29
Q

Major cell types that participate in immune responses

A

B-lymphocytes
T-lymphocytes
Nk cells
Macrophages

30
Q

These cells of immune system produces antibodies

A

B-lymphocytes

31
Q

These cells of immune system are usually found in cander patients

A

Nk cells

32
Q

These cells of immune system aids in tissue repair

A

Macrophages

33
Q

Two major categories of T-cells

A

Helper T-cells
Cytotoxic T-cells

34
Q

Also known as T-helper cells, Th cells, and CD4 cells

A

Helper T cells

35
Q

Also known as T-cytotoxic cells, TC cells, and CD8 cells

A

Cytotoxic T cells

36
Q

Primay function is secretion of cytokines

A

Helper T cells

37
Q

This T CELLS destroy infected host cell, foreign cells, or tumor cells

A

Cytotoxic cells
