Week 9 Lab Exercise - Immune System

This document discusses the immune system and its responses. It contains 3 sections: 1) matching descriptions of non-specific defenses, 2) tabulating the differences between T cells and B cells, and 3) researching the structure of immunoglobulin classes. The first section identifies the non-specific defenses of the body that provide chemical, mechanical, and antimicrobial barriers. The second section contrasts that T cells originate in the thymus, have no surface antibodies, and connect only to antigens on viruses, while B cells originate in bone marrow and connect to invading bacteria/viruses. The third section instructs researching the generalized structure of immunoglobulin classes.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

GIO 3. To study the nonspecific responses, and specific responses of the immune system.

SIO 1. Identify the descriptions of non-specific defenses of the body by matching


column A with column B.

Column A Column B
All of the choices 1) Part of the first line of defense A. Acids
D 2) Entraps microorganisms entering the B. Lysozyme respiratory
passages. C. Mucosae
A/B/D/E/G.3) Provide chemical barriers D. Mucus
C/F 4) Provide mechanical barriers E. Protein-digesting enzymes
B/G 5) Have antimicrobial activity F. Skin
G. Sebum

2. Tabulate, and contrast the difference between T cells and B cells in the immune
responses.
