Concept explainers
Question 1:
Select one answer.Sometimes the immune system appears to get confused and it starts mount an immune response against the the body's own tissues. What is this referred to as?
a. Lymphoma
b. Lymphedema
c. Autoimmune disease
d. Graft-versus-host disease
Question 2: Select one answer.
One of the results of the inflammatory response is accumulation of fluid in the affected area (edema). This happens in response to tissue injury such as a sprained ankle or an infection caused by a splinter in one’s finger. Select the correct statement from the choices below.
a. Activation of the inflammatory response does not indicate a disruption of homeostasis. Presence of extra fluid in the tissues directly activates the innate immune response.
b.The lymph vessels will eventually drain away the excess fluid. The kinin-kallikrein system causes capillary leakage resulting in edema.
c. The lymph vessels will bring in the cells from the immune system to fight any potential infection.
d. Tissue edema does not involve the lymphatic system
e.Swelling from tissue injury happens because your body makes excess fluid in that area.
Question 3 Select one answer.
T cells come in several varieties. Cytotoxic T cells are important because they can become activated and kill target cells. Which of the following are not needed directly for Cytotoxic T cell activation?
a. Cytokines
b. Interferons
c. Complement
d. Antibodies
e. All are correct

- New Skin' research center uses mice for studies of skin grafting. To prevent rejection of the graft, the mice are thymectomized (taking out thymus) at birth. Even though B cells do not develop in the thymus, these mice show no humoral immune response and are very susceptible to infection. Explain why the removal of the thymus would improve the success of skin grafts but adversely affect humoral immunity.arrow_forwardPhagocytes transmit information to the lymphocytes B cells and helper T cells produce special protein called_____________ antibodies blood leukocytes long-term macrophagesarrow_forwardWhat is the role of macrophages? Phagocytosis of foreign molecules Secrete histamine to mediate an inflammatory reaction Produce interferon to activate macrophages All of the abovearrow_forward
- Question 21 Fill in the blanks. Innate immunity and adaptive immunity has memory; is specific is nonspecific; has no memory is specific; has memory O is nonspecific; has memoryarrow_forwardWhich one of these leukocytes is NOT responsible for phagocytosis? Question 2 options: Neutrophils Macrophages Dendritic cells Natural Killer cells All of the above are responsible.arrow_forward__________________________________________________ cells can help prevent autoimmune diseases. The antigen receptor on a B cell is essentially a membrane-bound ____________________________. If a cell of yours lacks MHCs, ______________________________________ (specific kind of cell) might cause its death _________________________________ is the name of the migration activity by a neutrophil, e.g., when it is physiologically driven to move toward molecules at an area of injury. Its temporary binding and unbinding to sticky endothelial cell adhesion molecules on their way is called _______________________________________. When it enters the injured or infected tissue space from the capillary this is called ____________________________________. When identical plasma cells start being made, in great abundance, from a single specific immune cell, the originally chosen immune cell has undergone ______________________ - ______________________________________.
