b. epithelium
c. endothelium
d. connective tissue
e. lymphoid tissue.

1–7 Identify the incorrect statement regarding hematopoiesis.

b. The location for hematopoiesis differs with age.
c. Self renewal is necessary to replenish the supply of hematopoietic stem cells.

b. cytotoxic T cells
c. helper T cells
d. M cells

b. Plasma
c. Memory
d. M
e. Mast.

1–15 During an infection, are mobilized in large numbers from the bone marrow.
a. dendritic cells
b. memory cells
c. macrophages
d. neutrophils
e. B cells.

1–16 In most cases, adaptive immune responses rely on the initial activation of in
secondary lymphoid tissue:
a. macrophages
b. T cells
c. B cells
d. dendritic cells
e. epithelium.

1–17 All of the following statements are characteristic of secondary immune responses except
.
a. Secondary immune responses are activated when primary immune responses fail to
completely eradicate an infection.
b. Secondary immune responses are restricted to adaptive immune responses.
c. Memory cells are activated rapidly during secondary immune responses.
d. Secondary immune responses are orders of magnitude greater than primary immune
responses.
e. During a secondary immune response to a booster vaccine, it is possible to experience a
primary immune response to an unrelated vaccine component encountered for the first time.

1–18 Identify the four classes of pathogens that provoke immune responses in our bodies and
give an example of each.
