VETERINARY IMMUNOLOGY; QUIZ 1
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Immunology (original) - Correct Answers -How the body protects itself against infectious
diseases; diseases cause by micro-organisms [bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi and
helminths (worms)]
Immunology (current) - Correct Answers -Physiological functioning of the immune
system in both health and diseases; allergies, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency,
transplant rejection and autoimmune disorders
Immunity - Correct Answers -resistance to infectious disease (a balanced state of
having adequate biological defenses to fight infectious diseases or others unwanted
biological invasion, while having adequate tolerance to avoid allergy and autoimmune
diseases)
Immune System - Correct Answers -collection of cells, tissues & molecules that mediate
immunity; protects animals against microbial invasion, essential for life
Immune response - Correct Answers -The co-ordinated reaction of these cells and
molecules to infectious microbes
Function of the Immune System - Correct Answers -To prevent infections and to
eradicate established infections by recognizing and eliminating foreign antigens,
formation of immunologic memory and development of tolerance to self antigens.
What pH do bacteria thrive in? - Correct Answers -Acidic pH (4.4-4.6); acid is very
immune to disease causing bacteria so its comfortable for disease causing micro-
organisms
Neutrophils - Correct Answers -The most abundant type of white blood cell. Phagocytic
and tend to self-destruct as they destroy foreign invaders, limiting their life span to a few
days. (60%)
Monocytes - Correct Answers -An agranular leukocyte that is able to migrate into
tissues and transform into a macrophage.
Innate Immunity - Correct Answers -Immunity that you are born with; encompasses
protective factors that are present in an independent of antigenic stimulus( e.g., skin,
