WEEK 2 THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
PHARMACOLOGY ATI 2026 PRACTICE TEST
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED PHARMACOLOGY
BREAKDOWN FULL REVIEW
◉ provides immediate short term protection and used to inactivate
invading organisms Answer: passive immunity
◉ contains either amodified toxin an antigen produces or actual part
of the organism Answer: toxoids vaccine (whooping cough or hpv
vaccine)
◉ acquired immunity Answer: an adaptive (learned) internal
protection that results in long term resistance to the effects of
invading microorganisms
◉ calcineurin inhibitors Answer: a class of drugs that works to
prevent the first phase of T cell activation by binding to the protein
and forming a complex that inhibits calcineurin presents in some
immune system cells
◉ active immunity Answer: the antibody mediated immunity you
acquire when your body actually learns to make specific antibodies
in response to the presence of specific antigens
,◉ antibody Answer: a Y shaped protein with areas on its "arms" that
bind directly and tightly to anything that has the same specific code
that triggered the B cell to respond by making specific antibodies
ITS ALSO CALLED IMMUNE GLOBULINS OR IMMUNOGLOBULINS.
◉ antibody titer Answer: a crude measurement of the presence of
antibody in blood at different blood dilutions
◉ Antigen Answer: any cell product or protein with a code different
than your own that enters your body and is recognized by your body
as "foreign" and that will trigger your B cells to produce specific
antibodies against it.
◉ antiproliferative drugs Answer: drugs that slow the growth of
immune system cells responsible for autoimmune diseases and for
transplant rejection
◉ antirejection drugs Answer: drugs that suppress the components
of the immune responsible for rejection of transplanted tissues and
organs
◉ artificially acquired active immunity Answer: the type of
antibody-mediated immunity that is started when the antigen is
, deliberately placed into your body to force your B cells to make a
specific antibody against it
◉ artificially acquired passive immunity Answer: the type of
antibody-mediated immunity you would have if antibodies made by
another person against a antigen were injected into your body
◉ attenuated vaccine Answer: a vaccine containing live organisms
that have been modified so that they are (usually) no longer capable
of reproducing or of causing disease but still retain their unique
code ALSO KNOWN AS A "LIVE VIRUS" VACCINE
◉ autoimmune disease Answer: a condition in which a persons
immune system sees his or her own calls and tissues as foreign and
develops immunity against these body cells or tissues
◉ biosynthetic vaccine Answer: a vaccine composed of science-
made substances that are similar to the parts of a virus or bacterium
that causes disease
◉ immunization Answer: a desired outcome or response to a
vaccination in which the person actually develops immune
resistance to the substance in the vaccine. OFTEN USED
