A Correct answer
Explanation

IgE also has an essential role in type I hypersensitivity,[7] which manifests various allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, most types of sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and specific types of chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis.

Multiple choice
  1. thymus and liver

  2. spleen, lymphocytes, tonsils and mucosal lymph tissue

  3. RBC's, WBC's and platelets

  4. all of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Secondary lymphatic tissues include spleen, tonsils, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, adenoids, and skin and liver. 

Multiple choice
  1. A and B antigens on RBC's

  2. neither Anti-A nor Anti B antibodies in serum

  3. no naturally occurring antibodies

  4. all the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

AB positive suggests that an individual has both the antigens A and B. Blood Group AB has both A and B antigen on red cells but with neither A or B antibody in the plasma.

Multiple choice
  1. M-cells

  2. Mesangial cells

  3. PALS

  4. HEV endothelial cells

  5. Selectins

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The high-walled endothelium of the post-capillary venules (HEV) in lymph nodes express vascular addressins, which are recognised by homing receptors on lymphocytes passing through the afferent lymphatics and which mediate entry of the lymphocytes into the lymph nodes.

Multiple choice
  1. Monocytes

  2. Kupffer cells

  3. Kidney mesangial cells

  4. Lymph node medullary macrophages

  5. Endothelial cells

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Endothelial cells are not essentially phagocytic, although they do contribute by the production of mediators of the inflammatory process, particularly acute inflammation and were previously lumped together with the mononuclear phagocyte system in what is known as the reticuloendothelial system (RES).
