Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is NOT a mechanism used by the immune system to fight
multicellular parasites?
Select one:
a. Antibodies coating the pathogen surface bind to FcRs on mast cells, causing release of granule contents onto
surface, and damage the parasite.
b. Crosslinking of antibody binding to FceRI on eosinophils cells triggers release of granules, causing smooth
muscle contractions.
Muscle contractions in the mucosal tracts causes sneezing, coughing, vomiting or diarrhea, dislodging the
parasite.
d. The parasite is killed and broken down extracellularly, and then phagocytosed by macrophages.
C.
Identify which of the following immune responses is pivotal to the killing and elimination of helminths.
a. killing by cytotoxic T cells in the lamina propria
b. TH1-induced inflammation
c. TH2-associated cytokines
d. phagocytosis by intestinal macrophages
e. systemic immune responses
f. B-cell secretion of IgG.
