Q

Which immune system is a “nonspecific response”?

It’s a collection of non specific barriers and cellular responses that serve as an inborn first, and second line of defense against pathogens?

A

innate immune system (remember it is not passive - it’s active! Just 2nd in line)

2
Q

Which immune system “responds to specific antigens”?

It’s a kind of passive or active immunity in which antibodies to a particular antigen are present in the body?

A

adaptive immune system

3
Q

pathogens can enter the body through ____ nodes, which contain a large # of antigen-presenting cells that can trigger the adaptive immune system

A

lymph nodes

4

6
Q

The following are part of which immune system? is it reactive or preventative?

Cytotoxic T-cells that kill pathogens

A

adaptive immune system, reactive

7
Q

The following are part of which immune system? is it reactive or preventative?

B-cells that produce antibodies

A

adaptive immune system, preventative

8
Q

15
Q

A T-Cell is a white blood cell that matures in the thymus and participates in immune response.

Is this part of the innate or adaptive immune system?

A

adaptive

16
Q

An Antibody is a blood protein that counterattacks a specific antigen.

Is this part of the innate or adaptive immune system?

A

adaptive

17
Q

Antigens are substances on the surface of agents that act to identify them, to the body, as being native or foreign. T or F?

A

True

18
Q

Antimicrobial us a substance that kills or inhibits growth of micro-organisms with minimal damage to the host.

Is this part of the innate or adaptive immune system?

A

innate

Is this part of the innate or adaptive immune system?

A

Adaptive
