MODULE 2 - IMB 401 EXAM WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS #6
Pamps - correct answer (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) Molecules
associated with groups of pathogens, that are recognized by cells of the innate immune
system.
Prrs - correct answer pattern recognition receptors
Neutrophils - correct answer A type of white blood cell that engulfs invading microbes
and contributes to the nonspecific defenses of the body against disease.
Myeloid progenitor - correct answer origin of immune system cells, including monocytes,
dendritic cells, granulocytes, and mast cells
Microbe - correct answer An organism invisible to the naked eye, especially one that
causes disease
Macrophages - correct answer Found within the lymph nodes, they are phagocytes that
destroy bacteria, cancer cells, and other foreign matter in the lymphatic stream.
Phagocytes - correct answer a type of cell within the body capable of engulfing and
absorbing bacteria and other small cells and particles.
Complement system - correct answer a proteolytic cascade that consists of initiating
and activating proteins as well as effector proteins. Important components are also
complement receptors that allow cells to recognize particles tagged by complement and
regulatory proteins that protect host cells from attack by the complement system.
