1.2 Cells, Organs & Molecules of Immunity β€” Test 1
Q1. All blood and immune cells ultimately arise from:βœ“ Haematopoietic stem cells
Q2. The two principal lineages derived from the haematopoietic stem cell are:βœ“ Myeloid and lymphoid
Q3. The lymphoid lineage gives rise to:βœ“ T cells, B cells and NK cells
Q4. The most abundant leukocyte in human blood is the:βœ“ Neutrophil
Q5. Antibodies are secreted by:βœ“ Plasma cells
Q6. Cell-mediated immunity is principally carried out by:βœ“ T lymphocytes
Q7. The primary (central) lymphoid organs are:βœ“ Bone marrow and thymus
Q8. The largest secondary lymphoid organ is the:βœ“ Spleen
Q9. The soluble (humoral) effector molecules of immunity include all of the following EXCEPT:βœ“ Haemoglobin
Q10. Granulocytes include:βœ“ Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils
Q11. The professional antigen-presenting cells are:βœ“ Dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells
Q12. The mononuclear phagocyte system refers chiefly to:βœ“ Monocytes and tissue macrophages
Q13. NK cells are classified as part of the:βœ“ Innate immune system (lymphoid lineage)
Q14. Cytokines are best described as:βœ“ Soluble signalling proteins that regulate immune responses
Q15. The complement system is a group of plasma proteins that mediate:βœ“ Lysis, opsonisation and inflammation
Q16. Mast cells are predominantly located in:βœ“ Connective and mucosal tissues
Q17. Agranulocytes (mononuclear leukocytes) are:βœ“ Lymphocytes and monocytes
Q18. Dendritic cells are most important because they:βœ“ Are the most potent activators of naive T cells
Q19. Lymph nodes function mainly to:βœ“ Filter lymph and initiate adaptive responses
Q20. The skin and mucosal epithelium represent which line of defence?βœ“ The first line (innate physical barrier)
