Immunity and Vaccines Quiz
Preview:
This type of immunity is acquired during one’s lifetime. It is induced by antigens that invade the body.
A. innate immunity
B. adaptive immunity
C. nonspecific immunity
D. normal microbiota
How do vaccines work?
A. They don’t
B. Vaccines use the body’s natural adaptive immune system to build up a resistance to a disease by creating antibodies before we are ever exposed to it giving us increased resistance or even complete immunity to the disease
C. vaccines give us the full disease, and your body will either fight it or not
D. I have no idea what a vaccine is
This system learns about different pathogens over time. It takes longer to respond and has specific responses for different types of pathogens
A. innate immune system
B. adaptive immune system
In humans, B cells mature in the _____ and T cells mature in the ______
A. GALT, liver
B. bursa, thymus
C. bone marrow, thymus
D. lymph nodes, spleen
This type of immunity can be called nonspecific and refers to the bodies defenses that are present since birth.
A. resistance
B. adaptive immunity
C. acquired immunity
D. innate immunity
Which of the following is NOT part of the first line of defense?
A. skin
B. B cells
C. sweat
D. lysozyme
The white blood cells that produce antibodies are T cells.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
Adaptive immunity is faster to respond to threats and infections than the innate immune response
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C. Sometimes true
D. Sometimes false
An organism that enters a life form and causes disease or sickness is a/an:
A. macrophage
B. pathogen
C. vaccine
D. flu
Which type of cell actually secretes antibodies?
A. T cell
B. macrophage
C. plasma cell
D. monocyte

D. pathogens
Which of these scenarios could be a direct cause of a disease becoming a pandemic?
A. sick child attending school
B. sick family returning from a foreign country
C. mosquito in a field next to houses
D. patient sneezing on a doctor
Which line of defense includes the skin, sweat, mucous membranes, and normal microbiota?
A. First
B. Second
C. Third
Since we have our immune system to protect us from disease, why do we still need a vaccine?
A. Because some diseases are too severe for our immune system.
B. Because adaptive immunity takes days to weeks to initiate a response and sometimes it is too late.
C. Because some people are immune deficient or have weak immune systems.
D. All of the above
Why does the Adaptive Immune System keep a memory of the pathogens they fight off, but Innate System does not?
A. Adaptive immunity is present at birth and needs to keep a memory of these pathogens over time, but Innate immunity is temporary so it does not a memory of pathogens.
B. Adaptive immunity is short lived, it keeps a memory of pathogens for future reference, whereas Innate immunity is present at birth so it does not need to keep a memory.
C. Innate immunity does not fight off pathogens so it cannot keep a record, while Adaptive immunity only fights off pathogens, therefore needing to keep a memory of them.
