    Cytotoxic T cells
    Neutrophils
    Natural Killer Cells
    Macrophages
    Plasma cells
    Mast cells
    Helper T cells
    Erythrocytes

    B. Innate
    C. Not Immune Cells

QUESTION 5

  1. Which of the following statements are correct? Choose all of the correct answers.
    A decrease in the number of lymphoid stem cells could result in a decrease in red blood cell.
    A person with an elevated level of platelets could experience easy bruising.
    A person with a low number of white blood cells could have difficulty in fighting infections.
    Platelets are more numerous than white blood cells, but contribute less volume to blood than white blood cells.

QUESTION 6

  1. Match each immune cell with the method it uses to neutralize a pathogenic microbe that has infected a human
    Cytotoxic T cell
    Helper T cell
    B cell
    Natural Killer Cell
    Macrophage
    Mast Cell
    A. kills infected human cells after recognizing antigens displayed on MHC class 1
    B. does not directly kill microbes; after recognition of a specific antigen displayed on MHC Class 2, it secretes molecules that help other cells to do so.
    C. phagocytoses microbes after recognizing specific antigens; secretes antibodies
    D. kills virus-infected human cells by releasing perforin and granzymes.
    E. Phagocytoses microbes after recognizing PAMPs; acts as an Antigen Presenting Cell to activate another type of immune cell
    F. Does not directly kill microbes; secretes histamine to initiate an inflammatory response.

QUESTION 8

  1. Place the following events in activation of a B cell by a microbe in the order in which they would occur.

    Several rounds of division occur, producing many B cells that all express the same B cell receptor. A B cell differentiates from a lymphocyte stem cell, and the mature B cell expresses a specific type of B cell receptor on its cell membrane.The B cell’s BCR (B cell receptor) binds to a foreign antigen with high specificity and high affinity.Second messenger signaling is activated in the B cell.Gene expression is altered in the B cell, and the B cell begins to divide.

    This molecule is expressed on all nucleated cells.
    This molecule interacts with proteins expressed on the surface of Cytotoxic T cells.
    This molecule is expressed on the surface of Antigen presenting cells.
    This molecule is important for activating Helper T cells
    This molecule is expressed on the surface of B cells.
    This molecule binds to antigens that come from primarily intracellular pathogens
    A. Class I MHC.
    B. Class II MHC
    C. Both Class I and Class II MHC.

QUESTION 16

  1. Place the following statements that describe the 5 steps in an adaptive immune response in the order in which they occur.

    Long lived-immune cells allow the second response to a given microbe to be stronger and faster than the first responseAdaptive immune cells are born in the bone marrow, then mature in either the bone marrow or the thymusAdaptive immune cells use specific receptor proteins to bind to antigens very specificallyIntracellular signaling pathways are initiated, causing the adaptive immune cell to change cell division, gene expression, and protein translationAdaptive immune cells kill invading microbes, either directly or indirectly
