A comprehensive overview of the adaptive immune system, focusing on the role of t cells and b cells in recognizing and responding to antigens. It covers topics such as the initiation of t cell responses, the function of th1 cells, and the distinction between self and non-self. The document also discusses the concept of passive naturally acquired immunity and the role of primary and secondary lymphoid organs.

Lymph nodes are:
Question 2
clusters of nodes at strategic points that filter lymph
T lymphocytes:
Question 3
mature in the bone marrow.
The red pulp is responsible for the immunologic function of the spleen.
Question 4
False
recognize self from non-self.
Exposure to the tetanus toxiod vaccine with subsequent immune response is an example of:
Question 7
Active artificially acquired immunity
Mucosal activated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is non-encapsulated tissue in the mucosa of respiratory, gastrointestinal & genitourinary tract and makes up over of the lymphoid tissue:
Question 8
T and B lymphocytes specifically recognize antigens.
Question 9
Question 10
White pulp
Transplacental crossing of antibodies to a fetus with no immune response made by the fetus is an example of:
Question 11
Passive naturally acquired immunity
Question 12
inflammation
Osmosis Jones' occupation as a.
Question 15
Eosinophil
I am known as a first responder since I am often recruited to inflammatory sites. I am the most abundant circulating white blood cell. I can also be called a polymorphonuclear leukocyte
(PMN) and am capable of phagocytosis. I am a:
Question 16
Neutrophil
I non-specifically recognize altered MHC proteins on the surface of virally infected or "corrupted" cancer cells. I then release toxic molecules to kill the altered cell (in the picture I
am killing a cancer cell). I am a:
Question 17
natural killer cell
Physical examination of a patient's external lymph nodes is an important indicator of illness for a physician (or veterinarian!). Choose the following THREE statements that describe WHY this is
response. Antigen presenatation is an important function of the lymph node, a place where APCs, T and B lymphocytes interact.
Question 18
The impact of poor nutrition (vitamin A deficiency) on health was shown by a significant increase in childhood mortality rates in night blind children in the Heroes for Health video. Later studies by Alfred Sommers proved that vitamin A treatments decreased mortality rates in children that received the treatment twice a year vs. untreated children. This 2 cent intervention has saved millions of lives!
Question 19
True
Why was it important to have local volunteers treat the children with vitamin A drops in the Heroes for Health video?

Macrophages create a very hostile internal environment to facilitate killing of microbes after activation. Which of the following do NOT contribute to this process?

T cell receptors
A deficiency in this vitamin impacts the regulation of the immune response leading to autoimmunity. What vitamin am I?
