◉ A bacteria cell enters the body through a cut in the skin. Which of
the following describes the immune response that would occur
next?
a) cytotoxic t-cells
b)helper t-cells are activated
c)histamines are released
d) antigens are released. Answer: histamines (inflammatory
response) are released
◉ Which of the following types of cells produce antibodies?
a) T-cell
b)plasma-cells
c)memory cells
d)macrophages. Answer: plasma-cells (The helper T cell induces
the B cell to multiply rapidly into secretory cells called "plasma
cells." These plasma cells will then produce large amounts of an
antibody that can bind the antigen.)
◉ which of the following best describes the purpose of a vaccine?
,A.)To produce extra inflammatory responses such as the release of
histamines
B.)To practice passive immunity
C.)To produce antibodies in case of future infection
D.)To increase macrophage production. Answer: to produce
antibodies in case of future infection. (Vaccinations introduce
antigens, which are weakened or killed, to elicit an immune
response.)
◉ Which of the following parts of the male genitourinary system
also transports sperm?
A. Ureter
B. Urethra

B. Sodium chloride
C. Protein
,D. Carbon. Answer: nitrogen nitrogenous waste from protein
digestion is toxic and must be removed because it will form
ammonia.
◉ Which of the following best describes the outcome if the kidneys
stopped functioning?
A. Blood would increase its carbon dioxide concentration.
B. Blood would fill with waste and the human body would not be
able to maintain homeostasis.
C. The kidneys would fill with urine.
D. The frequency in which a human excretes urine would increase..
Answer: blood would fill with waste and the human body would not
be able to maintain homeostasis.
◉ Which of the following structures is the functional unit of the
kidney?
A. Renal capillaries
B. Glomerulus
C. Nephron
D. Cortex. Answer: nephron (The functional unit of the kidney is the
nephron.)
, ◉ In two to three sentences, explain the purpose of blood pressure
in the kidney.. Answer: The pressure of the blood helps the
glomerulus
filter out wastes and return vital nutrients through the renal vein to
the blood. Nephrons are a system of microscopic tubes that use
various pressure levels to remove wastes and reabsorb important
molecules and water.
◉ Which of the following lists the primary parts of the heart?
A. Blood cells
B. Muscle tissue split into two chambers
C. Muscle tissue split into four chambers
D. Four ventricles. Answer: muscle tissue split into four chambers
◉ Which of the following blood components is responsible for
transporting oxygen?
A. Red blood cells
B. Plasma
C. Dissolved gases
D. Leukocytes. Answer: Red blood cells ( RBC contain hemoglobin
and transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.)
