II. Using the terms below, write the appropriate term in each blank. You may use a term
more than once.
3. Located in the mucous membranes lining the digestve, reproductive, urinary and
respiratory tracts. MALT
5. Red pulp and white pulp perform the main functions Spleen

Naturally acquired active immunity Naturally acquired passive immunity
3. Long lived but may involved booster shots. Artificially acquired active immunity
5. Used for life threatening conditions like snake bite. Artificially acquired passive immunity
2. How are the functions of the spleen and lymph node similar?
— Trabeculae, a capsule, and a hilum are all present in both. Cell populations are
comparable in both. The lymph nodes filter lymph while the spleen filters blood, and both are
active filters. Although humans have just one spleen, they have several lymph nodes. Both are
places where immune cells detect foreign pathogens.

3. What do you think will happen if the lymph nodes could not effectively fo their job?
— The lymphatic system removes infection and maintains a healthy balance of bodily
fluids. Fluid builds up in your tissues and creates swelling, which is known as lymphedema, if it
isn't operating properly. Infections, blockages, and tumors may all affect the lymphatic system.
4. What problems can arise if pathogens destroy large numbers of our cells?
— Pathogens have an impact on all living things and can cause sickness in people in a
number of ways. By creating poisons as they proliferate, they can harm tissues or cells. While
some bacteria give little symptoms, others can be fatal.
5. How does the body tell the difference between self and nonself proteins?
1. Redness (Rubor)
2. Swelling (Tumour)
4. Pain (Dolor)
Redness and heat are due to increased blood flow at body core temperature to the
inflamed site; swelling is caused by accumulation of fluid; pain is due to the release of

chemicals such as bradykinin and histamine that stimulate nerve endings. Loss of function has
multiple causes.
— During the inflammatory process, vasodilation occurs to enable more blood flow to
the afflicted region. This is what produces the inflammation-related heat and redness.
— The mature B cells, called plasma cells, secrete millions of antibodies into the
bloodstream and lymphatic system.

IV. Place the number 1 to 5 in the blank before each statement to indicate the correct
order of the steps in the process of antigen presentation by APCs.
2 The antigen molecules chemically bind to MHC proteins produced by the APC
3 The vesicles undergoes exocytosis; the vesicle merges with the cell membrane
4 The antigen MHC protein complex is attached onto the external surface of the APC.
