Quiz 1 Immune system Flashcards
Dendritic cells are antigens presenting cells (T or F)
Verdadero
Antigens plays an important role in the production of antibodies (T or F)
What is the primary function of antigen-presenting cells (APC´s) in the immune system?
To present antigens to T cells
What is the role of the atrioventricular (AV) node in the cardiac conduction system?
Delaying the impulse transmission tu the ventricles
What role does vascular dysfunction play in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension, and how does it contribute to elevated blood pressure levels?
Vascular dysfunction leads to increased peripheral vascular resistance
During which phase of the cardiac cycle does the ventricle contract, causing a rise in ventricular pressure and closure of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid valves)?
Ventricular systole
Innate response is highly specific (T or F):
Is the bone marrow part of the immune system? (T or F)
Verdadero
Leukocytes are formed in the bone marrow by hematopoiesis (T or F):
Verdadero
Antibodies are immunoglobulins (T or F):
In a normal ECG waveform, what does the P-wave represent?
Atrial despolarization
What is the most common underlying cause of atherosclerosis, contributing to the development of coronary artery disease?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
What is the primary pathological process that leads to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD)?
Atherosclerosis
Lymph cells are a component of the adaptive system (T or F):
Which component of the immune system provides rapid and specific protection upon re-exposure to a previously encountered pathogen?
Memory immunity
