Question

TRUE OR FALSE

______________     1.   T cells give rise to plasma cells.

______________     2.   T cells mature in the bone marrow.

______________     3.   The constant regions of the immunoglobulin chains are the antigen

                                          binding regions.

______________     4.   The constant regions of the antibody structure determine

                                          immunoglobulin class.

______________     5.   Accessory cells that act as antigen presenters of foreign bacteria, thus

                                          helping to activate the lymphocytes are neutrophils.

______________     6.   The protein molecules that protect tissue cells from viral takeover are

                                          collectively called interferons.

______________     7.   Lymphokines are produced by macrophages.

______________     8.   The T cell responsible for tempering and shutting down the immune

                                          response when the pathogen has been routed is the helper T cell.

______________     9.   The failure of the immune system to tolerate self results in

                                          immunodeficiencies.

______________     10.The four cardinal signs of inflammation are heat, redness, pain, and

                                          immobility.

______________     11.Memory T cells produce antibodies when a previously recognized

                                          antigen appears in your body a second time.

______________     12.The initial response to an antigen is called the primary response.

______________     13.The initial response to an antigen is always faster and more vigorous

                                          than the secondary response.

______________     14.Cytotoxic T cells may destroy a “foreign” cell by releasing a

                                          destructive protein called perforin, by secreting a poisonous

                                          lymphotoxin, or by activating apoptosis within the target cell.

______________     15. T Cells are monocytes.

____16.    Antibodies may be involved in:

                     A. humoral immunity                 C. immediate hypersensitive reactions

                     B. autoimmune disorders           D. all of the choices given.

____17. All of the following are considered to be nonspecific body defenses EXCEPT:

                     A. compliment            C. lysozyme             E. inflammation

                     B. phagocytosis         D. antibodies

____18 .   Antibodies are characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:

                     A. protein molecules

                     B. antigen-specific   

                     C. composed of heavy and light polypeptide chains.

                     D. two or more binding sites/molecule.

Explanation / Answer

1.   T cells give rise to plasma cells. False

            (Plasma cells are produced in Bone marrow.)

2.   T cells mature in the bone marrow. False

            (T cells mature in thymus)
