Document Summary

Asymptomatic carrier: a person or other organism (host) that has contracted an infectious disease and is capable of spreading the infection to others, but does not show or suffer symptoms of illness or disease. Commensalism: a relationship where one species benefits and the other species neither benefits nor is harmed. Disease: a situation that develops (after infection) when the parasite/pathogen causes clinical manifestations (symptoms such as fever, nausea, pain, etc) in the host. Egress: the act of exiting or going out. Endospore (spore): the inactive or dormant structure of some rod shaped bacteria that is formed when conditions are unfavourable. Fomite: an inanimate object that may act as a carrier of disease. Foodborne illness: the sickness that some people experience when they eat contaminated food, although in this case, the etiologic agent has not been identified and/or the underlying biology is not fully understood.

1.List the steps of the immune response in the correct order, fromfirst to last. (First, Second, Third)

The immune system develops proteins called antibodies that fightthe infection by killing the antigens.	Choose... Third First Second
The immune system identifies antigens.	Choose... Third First Second
The body saves some antibodies so they are available to fight offthe same disease if exposed again.	Choose... Third First Second

2.Match each item with the correct "line of defense" it isclassified under. (Surface Barrier, General Defense, ImmuneResponse)

lysozyme	Choose... Surfacebarriers Generaldefenses Immune responses
inflammation	Choose... Surfacebarriers Generaldefenses Immune responses
lymph nodes	Choose... Surfacebarriers Generaldefenses Immune responses
B cells and T cells	Choose... Surfacebarriers Generaldefenses Immune responses
unbroken skin	Choose... Surfacebarriers Generaldefenses Immune responses
Antibodies	Choose... Surfacebarriers Generaldefenses Immune responses

3.What is the role of histamine in the inflammatory response?

Chooseone answer.

	a. Itdestroys bacteria by a process called "cell-eating."
	b. Itproduces a fever and lethargy, so energy can be reserved forbattling the illness.
	c. It formsblood clots in the damaged area.
	d. Itdilates blood vessels to make more room for the body's defensive agentsin the injured area.

4.Match each item with the correct description. (Antigen, Prion, Blymphocyte, Macrophage)

An infectious particle that consists only of protein	Choose... Antigen Prion Blymphocyte Macrophage
A white blood cell that engulfs and destroys foreign material, such asbacteria	Choose... Antigen Prion Blymphocyte Macrophage
Any substance that instigates a response by the immune system	Choose... Antigen Prion Blymphocyte Macrophage
A white blood cell that can make antibodies	Choose... Antigen Prion Blymphocyte Macrophage

5.Who is credited with designing the first vaccine?

	a. LinusPauling
	b. EdwardJenner
	c. JonasSalk
	d. StanleyMiller

6.The flu (influenza) vaccine is generally administered as aninjection, often referred to as the flu shot. Can the flu shot giveyou the flu?

	a. No,because the flu shot is a live, attenuated vaccine.
	b. Yes,because the flu shot is a live, attenuated vaccine.
	c. No,because the flu shot is an inactivated vaccine.
	d. Yes,because the flu shot is an inactivated vaccine.

7.Getting a vaccine is similar to getting the actual disease insome ways. For example, when you get a vaccine, yourimmune system produces antibodies that will protect you from future exposures tothe actual disease.

True or False?

8.Getting a vaccine is NOT similar to getting the actual disease insome ways. For example, when you get a vaccine, you should notexperience outward symptoms of the disease you were vaccinatedagainst.

True or False?

9.Numerous scientific studies have shown that there is NO LINKbetween vaccines and autism.

True or False?
