- Single cellular molecule of DNA and free floating small ribosomes within their cytoplasm. Plasma surrounded by a rigid cell wall
A prion is a mis-folded brain protein and can become self-propagating True or False
True
Prions can resist cooking, freezing and drying True or False
True
Virulence refers to
- How a pathogen can enter the body
- How easily a pathogen can be passed from person to person
- The extent of damage caused by the infection
- The extent of damage caused by the infection
Lymph fluid contains
- White blood cells
- Proteins
- Fats
- Bacteria and viruses
- All of the above
- All of the above
What is the largest lymphatic organ
- The liver
- The spleen
- Lymph nodes
- Lymph fluid
- Tonsils
- The spleen
What is the function of the white pulp of the spleen
- Removes old and damaged red blood cells
- Temporary storage of blood
- Contains lymphocytes searching for pathogens
- Contains lymphocytes searching for pathogens
Where do T lymphocytes mature
- Thymus
- Thyroid
- Spleen
- Liver
-Thymus
Competitive exclusion is when harmful bacteria deprive healthy bacteria of nutrients and attachment sites TRUE or FALSE
- False
*Healthy bacteria deprive harmful bacteria
The complement system is a group of proteins that assist other defence mechanisms; enhances inflammation and phagocytosis; kills pathogens TRUE or FALSE
-True
What cells are considered phagocytes (3)
- Neutrophils
- Plasma cells
- Macrophages
- Basophils
- Eosinophils
- Neutrophils
- Macrophages
- Eosinophils
What is NOT a characteristic of the inflammatory response
- Redness
- Warmth
- Cold and clammy skin
- Swelling
- Pain
- Cold and clammy skin
Natural killer cells release perforin and granzyme that lead to the destruction of tumor cells and virus- infected cells TRUE or FALSE
-True
When activated by invading microorganisms, the activated complement proteins defend by all EXCEPT
- Marking invading microorganisms for destruction by phagocytes
- Enhancing inflammation, which attracts phagocytes
- Digests the microorganism and displays antigens on the surface of the protein
- Directly lysing invading microorganisms
- Digests the microorganism and displays antigens on the surface of the protein
Hematopoietic Stem Cells produce two lineages of cells called the Lymphocyte progenitor and the macrophage cell progenitor TRUE or FALSE
- False
*Myeloid cell progenitor
Myeloid cell progenitors include all EXCEPT
- Natural Killer
- Eosinophil
- Neutrophil
- Monocyte
- Mast cell
- Basophil
- Natural Killer
Lymphocyte progenitor cells include all EXCEPT
- Natural Killer
- Cytotoxic T cell
- Helper T cell
- Plasma B cell
- Dendritic Cell
- T cell progenitor
- B cell progenitor
- Dendritic Cell
Hematopoietic Stem Cells live in the
- Liver
- Thymus
- Bone Marrow
- Spleen
- Bone Marrow
Viral-infected cells secrete a protein called interferon that diffuses to nearby cells and triggers them to produce anti-viral proteins TRUE or FALSE
- True
When a macrophage detects bacteria or viruses they release pyrogens. Pyrogens cause
- The brain to increase the bodies temperature
- The liver to retain iron
- The urinary system to increase output
- The stomach to reduce ph
- The brain to increase the bodies temperature
Which statement about Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) proteins is INCORRECT
- Self-antigens that are on human cell surfaces, enabling recognition of “self” vs “nonself”
- Unique to “you” but would appear foreign to someone else’s immune system
- Allows self cells to attack non self cells by the use of interferon
- Allows self cells to attack non self cells by the use of interferon
All apply to T lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity EXCEPT
- Directly attack foreign cells or infected “self cells
- Coordinate the immune response (B cells, T cells, Macrophages)
- Active against parasites, viruses, fungi, intracellular bacteria, cancer cells
- Create antibodies which are proteins that bind with and neutralize specific antigens
- Create antibodies which are proteins that bind with and neutralize specific antigens
*Characteristic of B lymphocytes in antibody-mediated immunity
Helper T cells promote B cell activation via cytokines TRUE or FALSE
True
B cells begin dividing and differentiating into (2)
- Memory Cells
- Plasma Cells
- Natural Killer Cells
- Cytotoxic T cells
- Memory Cells
- Plasma Cells
The roles of antibodies include all EXCEPT
- Causes agglutination (clumping of antigens)
- “Tag” the antigen and promote its recognition and removal
- Activate complement system
- Neutralizes viruses, bacteria and toxins by blocking their ability to bond to host cells
- Transports antigens to the lymph where it is removed via the lymphatic system
- Transports antigens to the lymph where it is removed via the lymphatic system
There are 6 types of antibodies TRUE or FALSE
