1
explain the purpose of the immune system
2
key diffs between innate and adaptivce immune responses
3
beneficial/detrimental immune responses + examples
4
primary vs secondary immune response
5
active vs passive immunity + examples
6
importance of specificity and memory in effective immune responses
7
this form of immunity is the frist line of defense and does not strengthen over time or depend on lymphocyte recognition
  • innate
  • adaptive
  • collective
  • environmental
8
this form of immunity requires lymphocyte recognition, strengthens after the first encounter, and takes 7-10 days to mobilize completely
  • adaptive
  • innate
  • collective
  • environmental
9
which cell types are considered phagocytes
  • all of the above
  • monocytes
  • neutrophils
  • macrophages
10
phagocytes are part of the _____ immune system
  • innate
  • adaptive
  • collective
  • environmental
11
purpose of B cells
  • recognize the antigen, become plasma cells, and release antibodies
  • recognize antigen-displaying cells and destroy
  • kill virus-infected/tunor cells
  • all of the above
12
purpose of T cells
  • recognize antigen-displaying cells and aid in destruction
  • kill virus-infected/tumor cells
  • recognize antigens, become plasma cells, and release antibodies
  • phagocytise pathogens
13
purpose of NK cells
  • kill virus-infected/tumor cells
  • recognize antigens, become plasma, cells, and release antibodies
  • recognize cells with antigens and destroy
  • recruit inflammatory factors to initiate immune response
14
what is true of antibody generators?
  • they're recognized by Ig (soluble immubiolglobulin) and T/B cell receptors
  • they halt immune responses
  • only come in the form of foreign bodies
  • always pathogenic
15
what is true of antibodies?
  • they are protein immunoglobulins
  • some are specific to certain antigen families
  • they are produced by inactivated B cells
  • they phagocytise pathogens
16
what is a primary immune response?
  • response that occurs the first time you are exposed to a pathogen
  • beginning of an innate immune response
  • process of reacting to a pathogen and storing info for future exposures
  • process used by T cells to kill tumors
17
what do primary and secondary immune responses have in common?
  • they both have innate and adaptive components
  • they both make use of macrophages
  • both result in system-wide inflammation
  • both are used when responding to a tumor
18
what is true of active immunization
  • exposure to pathogen results in antibody production
  • only occurs when an individual gets sick after receiving a vaccine
  • forms new pathways when an individual receives a medication for a disease
  • method of immunity in which antibodies are passed from mother to child
