I wanted to post some questions i have from the Marieb Workbook for people to try:
Immunology:
1. The three major elements of te bodys innate defense system are:
The ___, consisting of the skin and ______; defensive cells, such as _____ and phagocytes; and a whole deluge of _______
2. Indicate the sites of activity of the secretions of the surface membranes:
Lyzosome is found in the body secretions called ____ and ____. Fluids with an acid PH are found in the ____ and ____. Sebum is a product of ____ glands and acts at the surface of the________.
3. What are the three important characteristics of the adaptive immune response?
4. Define Immunocompetence:
5. What signifies that a lymphocyte has become immunocompetent?
6. As an infant receives her first does of oral polio vacine, the nurse explains to her parents that the vacine is a preparation of weakened virus. What time of immunity will the infant develop?
7. How does chewing sugar free gum decrease the likelyhood of caries?
Mutliple Choice:
Which of the following are cardinal signs of inflamation:
a - phagocytosis
b- leukocytosis
c- edema
d- pain
Chemical mediators of inflamation include:
a- pyrogens
b- histamine
c- prostaglandins
d- Lymphokines
Which term describes the WBCs ability of squeeze through capillary endothelium into tissue spaces?
a- diapedesis
b- margination
c- degranulation
d - positive chemotaxis.

If you want the other sections i'll put them up x

  1. hey erin Ill just do some that i can do off the top of my head so
    3) specifity, systematic and memory
    4) the ability of the body to produced a normal immune response following an exposure to an antigen
    5) capable of recognising antigens presented to them, so once they become exposed to an antigen?
    6) artifically aquired active immunity
    7)not really sure where this is going, I know the obvious answer but dont see how that fits under immunology, or are we talking about stimulation of saliva and what saliva contains e.g. lactoferrin and IgA
    MULTIPLE CHOICE:
    1. pain and edema
    2. B and C
    3. A

  2. All good ill put up the answers anyway:
    1. Surface Barriers, Mucose Membrane, NK cells & Chemicals
    2. Tears, Saliva, Stomach, Vagina, Sebaceous Glands, Skin
    3. Antigen Specific, Systemic and has Memory
    4. The ability to recognize foreign substances in the body by binding to them
    5. The appearance of antigen specific receptors on the membrane of the lymphocyte.
    6. Active Arfitical Immunity
    7. Chewing stimulates saliva secretion. Saliva washes over the gums and teeth helping to flush out pathogens. Also the lysozyme in saliva can kill bacteria
    MC
    1. B and D
    2. A B C D
    3. A
