  • What are the main effects of inflammation?

    Inflammation causes hyperemia (increased blood flow), exudate (fluid leakage), and pain.

  • What happens to white blood cell count during the inflammatory process?

    Leukocytosis occurs (an increase in white blood cells)

  • What is humoral mediated immunity?

    Humoral mediated immunity is antibody-mediated immunity involving antibodies produced by B cells.

  • What is the role of interferon in immunity?

    Interferon inhibits viral replication to help protect cells from viral infection.

  • Which kidney structure is affected in glomerulonephritis?

    Glomerulonephritis affects the kidney capillaries in the glomerulus.

  • What is exophthalmos and with which disease is it associated?

    Exophthalmos is protrusion of the eyeballs and is a symptom of Graves’s disease.

  • What characterizes immediate hypersensitivities?

    Immediate hypersensitivities occur within seconds or minutes and are the most dangerous type of allergic reactions.

  • What cells secrete antibodies?

    Activated B cells secrete antibodies, which are proteins that target antigens.

  • What is the function of antibody neutralization?

    Neutralization stops the antigen from affecting the target cell by blocking its active sites.

  • What happens during precipitation in immune response?

    Precipitation is when antigen-antibody complexes settle out of solution.

  • What type of cells are found in the thymus stroma?

    The thymus stroma contains epithelial cells that support T cell development.
