The largest number of immune cells (lymphocytes) Are found in the GALT and MALT. Protect the intestines and body from consumed substances. Use microfold cells to constantly sample ingested antigens for phagocytes and T cells. Are concentrated in and near Peyer's Patches in the Gl tract. All of the above.

What is the role of an adjuvant? It helps the enhance the body’s response to the antigen It allows antibodies to bind to vaccine It helps to elicit immune response It prevents coagulation of blood
The defenses created by physical barriers are often supported by chemical barriers (and vis versa), in the innate immune response, as a way to target the normal living conditions of foreign invaders. This may include an acidic environment, a nutrient deprived environment, or sequestering/ blocking an organism into a certain location in the body. True False
Which best describes the role of innate immunity? * It protects the body from foreign invaders. It is present in all organisms and helps improve the body’s defense system. It is nonspecific and attacks a broad range of pathogens. It is involved in defending the body against infection. No answer
Nonspecific internal defenses against disease include________, which engulf and digest microbes;________, which destroy cells that have been infectedby viruses; the_______ , provoked by injury; and______, an elevation of body temperature that slows microbial reproduction and enhances the body’s defenses.
Which of the following is true about the immune system? CHeck all that apply. Neutrophils are abundant granulocytes that phagocytose bacteria, whereas eosinophils eliminate helminth parasites Anatomic barriers include epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells Dendritic cells and macrophages are phagocytic cells that can present antigen T lymphocytes Innate immune cells are macrophages, granulocytes, natural killer cells and adaptive immune cells are B and T cells B and T cells originate from myeloid progenitor, whereas monocytes and neutrophils from lymphoid progenitor.
Which of the following chemicals is released by the body in response to exposure to allergens such as mold, pollen, and food? Leukotriene Mast cell
Which of the following defines a memory cell? Microorganism that typically lives on the human body surface Self-protein on the surface of a vertebrate body cell Antigen-sensitized lymphocyte that forms in an immune response and acts immediately Long-lived antigen-sensitized lymphocyte that can act in a secondary immune response
Which of the following is true about the immune system? Check all that apply. CD4 T Cells kill infection cell efficiently, whereas CD8 T cells only make cytokins Bone marrow and thymus are primary lymphoid organs and spleen and lymph nodes are secondary lymphoid organs Dendritic cells (DC) are the professional antigen presenting cells, whereas macrophages and B cells can present antigen for the second time. Immune response occurs mainly in the secondary lymphoid organs DC present antigens to T cells in the context of MHC, whereas B cells see antigens on their own in native conformational form
