Innate immunity is by virtue of .................

  1. Physical appearance

  2. Genetic constitutional make-up

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Innate immunity also called natural or native immunity. This immunity is by virtue of genetic constitutional make-up. It is there in the body without any external stimulation or a previous infection.

To which type of barriers under innate immunity, do the saliva in the mouth and the tears from the eyes belong?

  1. Physiological barriers

  2. Physical barriers

  3. Cytokine barriers

  4. Cellular barriers
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The immune system provides both the types of immune response innate and acquired immune responses. Innate immunity occurs naturally due to genetic factors or physiology. It is a native immune response that present by birth. It provides physical barrier such as skin, Physiological barriers such as pH of the stomach, bile juice, saliva and tears, cellular barriers such as leucocytes, macrophage cell and cytokine barrier.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Innate immunity is provided by 

  1. Antibody

  2. Neutrophils

  3. B-cells

  4. T-cells
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The innate immune is an older evolutionary defense strategy  and it is dominant immune system response found in plants ,fungi,insects,and primitive multi-cellular organisms..The innate leukocytes includes:

  1.  the phagocytes(macrophages ,neutrophils and dendritic cells),
  2. innate lymphoid cells,
  3. mast cells,
  4. eosinophils
  5. ,basophils and 
  6. natural killer cell.

These cells identify and eliminate pathogens either by attacking larger pathogens through contact or by engulfing and then killing micro-organism.Hence ,innate immuniy is provided by neutrophils.

So,the correct answer is "neutrophils"

Immunomodulators 

  1. Stimulates immune system

  2. Suppress immune system

  3. Some stimulate ,others inhibit immune system

  4. Never suppress immune system
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Immunomodulation is modulation (regulatory adjustment) of the immune system. Homeostasis in the immune system, whereby the system self-regulates to adjust immune responses. Immunomodulators are a part of immunotherapy, in which immune responses are induced, amplified, attenuated, or prevented according to therapeutic goals.

So, the correct answer is 'Some stimulate, others inhibit the immune system'.

Which of the following correctly exemplifies acquisition of active immunity by a person?

  1. A person who has recovered from an attack of mumps, develops natural active immunity

  2. When ready-made antibiotics are directly injected into a person's body to protect him against foreign agents, then he acquires artificial active immunity

  3. When a person is vaccinated for a disease then he acquires natural active immunity for that disease

  4. When antibody is transferred from mother to the fetus through placenta then the developing baby acquires artificial active immunity
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Active immunity occurs when the body produces its own antibodies in response to an antigen. Recovering from a natural infection like mumps triggers the body's immune system to create memory cells and antibodies, which is natural active immunity.

Non-specific immunity is provided by all except ________________.

  1. Kupffer cells

  2. alveolar macrophases

  3. lymphocytes

  4. neutrophils
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Non-specific (innate) immunity includes physical barriers and phagocytes like Kupffer cells, alveolar macrophages, and neutrophils. Lymphocytes (T and B cells) are the primary components of specific (adaptive) immunity.
