    The document contains 30 multiple choice questions about the immune system. It tests knowledge on topics like the cells responsible for antibody production (B cells), the function of regulatory T cells in preventing autoimmunity, the role of MHC class I molecules in antigen presentation to cytotoxic T cells, the thymus' role in T cell maturation, the type of hypersensitivity reaction involving immune complex formation and tissue damage, basophils' production of histamine in allergic responses, and the definition of diapedesis as white blood cells squeezing through blood vessel walls during infection or injury. It also covers cytokines like TNF that promote inflammation, the origin of the word "vaccination" from the Latin for cow, and IgM as the
