Nurs-6501 - Advanced Patho-
Chapter 8 with complete
verified solutions 2025-2026
What is adaptive immunity? - answer ability of the body to defend itself
against specific invading agents
What is another word for adaptive immunity? - answer Immune Response
What does adaptive immunity consist of? - answer lymphocytes and
antibodies
Is adaptive immunity specific? - answer Yes- to particular infectious agents
Is the adaptive immune response slower than the inflammatory response?
- answer Yes
How is the adaptive immune response mediated? - answer B-lymphocytes
and t-lymphocytes
What are B lymphocytes responsible for? - answer humoral immunity
What is humoral immunity? - answer antibody-mediated immunity
What are T lymphocytes responsible for? - answer cell-mediated immunity
What is cell-mediated immunity? - answer Essentially cell to cell combat
with the good guys (T lymphocytes) killing the bad guys (any "bad" cells,
such as bacteria, virus-infected cells, and cancer cells.)
, What is antibody-mediated immunity? - answer the mechanism of adaptive
immunity that involves antibody production and the destruction of foreign
antigens by the activities of B cells, T cells, and macrophages
What are T cells and B cells programmed to recognize? - answer Only one
specific antigen
What is cional diversity? - answer The extensive diversity of antigen
receptors capable of recognizing different antigens
What is clonal selection? - answer the process through which immature B
and T Cells go through so that only certain types are permitted to mature
What is antigen processing? - answer The degradation of proteins into
peptides that can bind MHC molecules for presentation to T cells
What are antigen presenting cells? - answer dendritic cells, macrophages,
B cells
What do B cells develop into? - answer plasma cells
What do T cells develop into? - answer Helper T cells and Cytotoxic T cells
What do T cells do? - answer kills cancer cells, cells that are infected
(viruses)
What are antibodies responsible for? - answer Protection against bacteria
What are effector T cells? - answer T-helper cells, cytotoxic lymphocytes,
natural killer T cells (or T-regulatory cells) that produce and secrete
cytokines that control the actions of other host cells.
Where are effector t cells located? - answer Blood, tissues, and organs
