Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Immune system is the defense system of an organism, which consists of various biological processes and structures protecting them against various pathogens. Immunological memory is the capacity of immune system to rapidly and exclusively recognize the antigen, which the body has encountered earlier and start a consequent immune response.

Which of the following is not a component of an autoimmune response?
The body's immune system targets its own tissues.
Lymphocytes are produced that cannot discriminate between self and nonself.
A normally harmless substance provokes an immune response in some people.
An autoimmune response may be triggered by infection by a bacterium or virus such as HIV.
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
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.
