5) What is an example of a soluble defensive factor produced by
the immune system?
6) Which one of the following cells is most capable of killing
your own cells if they become infected with a virus?
7) How can your immune system be trained to protect you against
a pathogen that you have
never been infected with?
| B |
By infection with that pathogen. |
| C |
Drinking lots of coffee and wheat grass. |
8) Why are innate immune responses faster than adaptive
responses?
| A |
Because innate cells are already fully developed whereas
adaptive cells must undergo a differentiation process before they
can participate in defending against a pathogen. |
| B |
Because soluble innate defensive factors are already present in
your blood and interstitial fluids whereas soluble adaptive factors
can only be produced after infection (or vaccination). |
| C |
The number of innate cells capable of recognizing and
responding to an infection is much larger at any given moment than
the number of similarly capable adaptive cells. |
9)Which one of the following is not a sentinel cell?
10) Which one of the following is an innate cell that is capable
of producing antibody?
