29
Q

What structure in the human body is responsible for initiating the secondary immune response in your body?

A

memory cells

30
Q

A donor might be able to give their blood to a certain recipient, but not bone marrow. Why might this be?

A

the donor’s blood type is a match to the recipients, but their MHC proteins aren’t a match

31
Q

A) a virus that causes a form of the common cold, which recurs in patients many times in their lives
B) influenza, a particular strain that returns every 10-20 years

D) herpes simplex viruses (oral or genital) whose reproduction can be triggered by physiological or emotional stress in the host

A

D) herpes simplex viruses (oral or genital) whose reproduction is triggered by physiological or emotional stress in the host

32
Q

What is the body’s most important nonspecific defense?

A

the skin

33
Q

What is the difference in B cell (plasma cells) responses and cytotoxic T cell responses?

A

B cells secrete antibodies against a virus while cytotoxic T cells kill virus-infected cells

34
Q

Which of the following are T cells of the immune system?

36
Q

What happens when a person encounters what they are allergic to?

Thinking logically, when are antibodies and memory cells produced?

A

right when ur body is exposed to an antigen (pathogen)

48
Q

What happens to your T cell concentration when you contract HIV?

A

your T cell concentration rapidly decreases because your cells are being killed by the HIV cells

49
Q

What is the difference between the body’s primary and secondary immune response?

A

the primary immune response is when you first see the pathogen and antibodies form, it is a slower reaction
the secondary immune response is when you encounter the pathogen for a second time and your memory cells recognize the pathogen and can fix it faster, it is a faster reaction

50
Q

If AZT is a drug that inhibits the HIV cells need to multiply, then what effect would AZT have on the number of T cells in an HIV positive person’s blood?

A

the drug would stabilize the person’s number of T cells because the HIV cells can still kill the T cells, but they wouldn’t be multiplying and the T cells would
