Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.

The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Compare the general inflammatory response, the complement system, and the specific immune response.
Figure 42.11 Which of the following statements about T cells is false? Helper T cells release cytokines while cytotoxic T cells kill the infected cell. Helper T cells are CD4+, while cytotoxic T cells are CD8+. MHC II is a receptor found on most body cells, while MHC I is a receptor found on immune cells only. The T cell receptor is found on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
The immune system can be split into two major categories, the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Compare and contrast these two systems and their response to a bacterial pathogen that entered the body through a cut in the skin. In your answer describe two ways in which the innate immune system protects against this pathogen, as well as two ways that the adaptive immune system protectS against this pathogen. Be sure to name any cells/organs/tissues/structures that may be involved in each of these processes in order to receive full marks. This can be done as a list in point form.
Which one of the following best describes the innate nonspecific immune system? Group of answer choices 1. a targeted response to a specific pathogen or molecule that confers immunological memory. 2. the production of antibody molecules against pathogens 3. a set of barrier defenses that adapts to specific pathogens after repeated exposure 4. a generalized set of defenses against a variety of pathogens that lacks immunological memory.
Which of the following lists contains cells that are typically considered to be associated with the innate immune response? Question 14 options: A) neutrophils, macrophages, T cells B) neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells C) B cells, T cells, and NK cells D) basophils, T cells, mast cells
Which of the following is true about the innate immune system? Check all that apply Phagocytosis is an adaptive immunity component required for elimination of microbes Innate immune cells are macrophages and dendritic cells that engulf pathogens but also present antigen to T lymphocytes Innate immunity improves with repeated infections Neutrophils are the abundant innate immune cells circulating in blood Innate immune system provides protection immediately after infection in a non-specific manner
Which of these is an incorrect description of either the adaptive or innate immune responses? Innate immunity involves both surface barriers and internal defenses. Only adaptive immunity involves defense against a specific foreign invader. Inflammation is an innate immune response but not an adaptive immune response. Chemicals are involved in adaptive immunity but not innate immunity. Immune system cells play a role in both innate and adaptive immune responses.
For a vaccine to produce useful protection against an infection, which of the following must a person's immune system do in response to the vaccine? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Some white blood cells must form memory cells White blood cells which recognize the vaccine with their antibodies must reproduce The complement system must enter a long-term activated state White blood cells which recognize the vaccine must undergo apoptosis
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 one of the following acts as the “alarm signal” to activate the body’s adaptive immune system by stimulating helper T cells? a. B cells b. Interleukin-1 c. Complement d. Histamines
The difference between innate immunity and adaptive immunity is that adaptive immunity attacks pathogens; innate immunity attacks microbes. innate immunity is fast and generalized; adaptive immunity is slow and specific. adaptive immunity releases cytokines; innate immunity produces antibodies. innate immunity targets cancers and transplants; adaptive immunity targets viruses and bacteria.
Which is NOT part of innate immunity? Group of answer choices antibodies and cytotoxic T-cell histamines and interferons inflammatory response natural killer cells
