Lymphatic and Immune System Test Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
B cells mature in the_____________.. while T cells mature in the
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: B cells mature in bone marrow/GALT, T cells in thymus ; not thymus first or spleen/liver (B, D).
Question 2 of 5
Immune recognition of molecules belonging to self is important to
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Identification of self tells the immune system that the cell or molecule recognized is not a foe. Natural killer cells use this mechanism of self-recognition to halt their attack on cells that they perceive to be abnormal. Receptor generation by B and T cells occurs independently of initial encounter with self molecules. Pattern recognition receptors, on the other hand, are genetically programmed to recognize nonself. By triggering an attack on a cell expressing the self molecule, an immune recognition molecule violates its 'nonaggression pact' with the cells and molecules of the host and establishes an internal coup known as autoimmunity.

The Fc region mediates all of the below EXCEPT binding to
Correct Answer: A
