Spleen contains

A

Lymphocytes macrophages RBC

26
Q

This pulp contains abundant RBC and macrophages

A

Red pulp

27
Q

Contains lymphocytes

A

White pulp

28
Q

It guards the entrance of the alimentary and respiratory tracts from invasion by microorganisms

A

Tonsils

29
Q

Several groups of tonsils forming a ring of lymphoid tissue

A

Waldeyer’s ring

30
Q

The components of Waldeyer’s ring

A

Palatine tonsils
Nasopharyngeal tonsils
Lingual tonsils

31
Q

This is gut associated lymphatic tissue

A

Peyer’s patches

32
Q

Clusters of nodules in the ileum

A

Peyer’s patches

33
Q

Macrophages are in ideal position to capture and destroy bacteria preventing them from reaching the intestinal wall

A

Peyer’s patches

34
Q

Develop as outpocketing of developing vein from mesoderm

A

Lymphatics

35
Q

Develops from endoderm

A

Thymus

36
Q

The rest of the lymphoid organs develop from

A

Mesoderm

37
Q

Defense of the body against disease causing agents like transplant, blood transfusion, autoimmune, allergies, aids

A

Immunity

38
Q

Immunity can be divided into two

A

Specific or non-specific

39
Q

These immunity response block the entry or spread of the disease

A

Non-specific response

40
Q

This immunity response is very specific which is tailored to individual treat and possesses antibody mediated B cells and cells mediated t cells

A

Specific

41
Q

What cell is antibody mediated

A

B cells

42
Q

What cell is cell mediated

A

T cells

43
Q

This is an immune response present at birth which is non-specific and does not become efficient upon the second exposure to same organism

A

Innate immunity or non-specific immune response

44
Q

These include skin, mucous membrane, phagocytes, natural killer cell, inflammatory response, interferon, complement, fever

A

Innate immunity or non-specific immune response

45
Q

This is an immune response following certain infection which has antigen and antibody reaction

A

Acquired or adaptive or specific immune response

46
Q

It is antibody meditated immunity

A

B lymphocytes humoral

47
Q

It attacks the infected cells virus cancer cells are foreign body

A

Cytotoxic T cell

48
Q

Terminates normal immune response

A

Suppressor T cell

49
Q

Involved in humoral immunity

A

B cells

50
Q

75% of immunoglobulin and all of these are monomers

A

IgG

51
Q

It crosses the placenta and weakly activates the complement system it is the most abundant

A

IgG

52
Q

15% of the immunoglobulin where it has serum found in secretions

A

IgA

53
Q

It is the major class of IG in secretions including peers saliva colostrum and mucus

A

IgA

54
Q

7 to 10%, it has the largest size of the immunoglobulin and exist as a pentameter

A

IgM

55
Q

It is the most potent activator of complement system and the first immunoglobulin to be made by the fetus

A

IgM

56
Q

Less than 1% of the immunoglobuilding and exist as a monomer

A

IgE

57
Q

It mediates allergic and parasitic reaction and does not fix immunoglobulin to made by the fetus

A

IgE

58
Q

Below 1% exist only as a monomer main Ab on the surface of lymphocytes of newborn

A

IgD
