Questions and Answers

During inflammation and pathogen infiltration, what causes the damage directly?

  • Recognition of bacteria by host cells
  • Phagocytosis by neutrophils
  • Toxins produced by bacteria (correct)
  • Release of histamine by mast cells

What is the purpose of inflammation?

  • To control the disease
  • To eliminate the inflammatory process
  • To clear the organism (correct)
  • To promote cell damage

What is the complement system?

  • A part of the adaptive immune system
  • A group of small proteins synthesized by the liver
  • A system that attacks the pathogen's DNA
  • A process that enhances the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells (correct)

What is the role of neutrophils in the immune response to pathogens entering a wound?

What are Toll-like receptors and how do they contribute to the immune response?

<p>Toll-like receptors recognize known pathogens, also known as PAMPs, and trigger the inflammatory response.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the purpose of the inflammatory response?

<p>The purpose of the inflammatory response is to try and clear the organism, but it can also cause cell damage.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the complement system and how does it enhance the immune response?

<p>The complement system is a part of the immune system that enhances the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells. It promotes inflammation and attacks the pathogen's cell membrane.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How is the complement system activated?

<p>The complement system is activated by triggers such as cytokines released during immune response.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of CD8+ cells in cell-mediated immunity?

<p>CD8+ cells are cytotoxic T lymphocytes that bind to the MHC1 receptor on an apoptotic cell surface and release cytokines to cause destruction of the cell.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the function of B memory cells in the immune response?

<p>B memory cells are activated during the primary immune response and are responsible for an enhanced immune response upon re-exposure to the same antigen.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What triggers the activation of B memory cells?

<p>Exposure to the same antigen that primed the immune system initially leads to the activation of B memory cells.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the outcome of complement activation?

<p>Complement activation stimulates phagocytes to clear foreign and damaged material, attracts additional phagocytes through inflammation, and activates the cell-killing membrane attack complex.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of T helper 2 cells in adaptive immunity?

<p>T helper 2 cells process antigens presented by antigen presenting cells, release cytokines, and stimulate naïve B cells to differentiate and undergo class switching to gain B cell receptors specific to the antigen.</p> Signup and view all the answers
