The only lymphatic organ with both afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels is
- A.
The spleen
- B.
A lymph node
- C.
A tonsil
- D.
A Peyer patch
- E.
The thymus
Correct Answer
B. A lympH nodeExplanation
A lymph node is the only lymphatic organ that has both afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels. Afferent lymphatic vessels bring lymph fluid containing pathogens, toxins, and waste products into the lymph node, while efferent lymphatic vessels carry filtered lymph fluid away from the node. This allows the lymph node to act as a filtering station, where immune cells can encounter and eliminate harmful substances before the lymph fluid is returned to the bloodstream. The spleen, tonsils, Peyer's patches, and thymus are all lymphatic organs, but they do not have both afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels.Rate this question:

Which of the following cells are involved in nonspecific resistance but not in specific defense?
- A.
Helper T cells
- B.
Cytotoxic T cells
- C.
Natural killer cells
- D.
B cells
- E.
Plasma cells
Correct Answer
C. Natural killer cellsExplanation
Natural killer cells are involved in nonspecific resistance because they are able to recognize and kill infected or cancerous cells without the need for prior exposure or activation. They do not participate in specific defense because they do not have the ability to recognize specific antigens or produce antibodies like B cells and plasma cells. Helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells are involved in specific defense as they play a role in coordinating and executing specific immune responses against pathogens.Rate this question:

A helper T cell can bind only to another cell that has
- A.
MHC-II proteins
- B.
An epitope
- C.
An antigen-binding site
- D.
A complement-binding site
- E.
A CD4 protein
Correct Answer
A. MHC-II proteinsExplanation
Helper T cells are a type of immune cell that plays a crucial role in coordinating the immune response. They recognize antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. In order for a helper T cell to bind to another cell and initiate an immune response, the other cell must present the antigen on its surface using MHC-II proteins. These proteins act as a display platform for antigens, allowing helper T cells to recognize and bind to them. Therefore, the presence of MHC-II proteins is necessary for a helper T cell to bind to another cell.Rate this question:

Which of the following results from a lack of self-tolereance?
- A.
SCID
- B.
AIDS
- C.
Systemic lupus erythematosus
- D.
Anaphylaxis
- E.
Asthma
Correct Answer
C. Systemic lupus erythematosusExplanation
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the body. This lack of self-tolerance occurs when the immune system fails to recognize self-antigens and attacks the body's own cells and tissues. This can lead to inflammation and damage in various organs and systems of the body. SCID, AIDS, anaphylaxis, and asthma are not caused by a lack of self-tolerance, but rather by different mechanisms such as genetic mutations, viral infections, or allergic reactions.Rate this question:

T lymphocytes undergo clonal deletion and anergy in the Thymus
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
T lymphocytes undergo clonal deletion and anergy in the thymus. Clonal deletion refers to the process of eliminating T lymphocytes that recognize self-antigens, preventing the development of autoimmune diseases. Anergy refers to the state of functional inactivation of T lymphocytes that do not encounter antigens during their maturation process. Both clonal deletion and anergy are important mechanisms for ensuring the proper functioning of the immune system and maintaining self-tolerance. Therefore, the statement that T lymphocytes undergo clonal deletion and anergy in the thymus is true.Rate this question:

A person who is HIV-positive and has a TH (CD4) count of 1,000 cells/mL does not have AIDS.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A person who is HIV-positive and has a TH (CD4) count of 1,000 cells/mL does not have AIDS. This is because AIDS is diagnosed when the CD4 count drops below 200 cells/mL or when certain opportunistic infections occur in HIV-positive individuals. With a CD4 count of 1,000 cells/mL, the person's immune system is still relatively strong, indicating that they have not progressed to AIDS. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.Rate this question:

Beavers have relatively little need to conserve eater and could therefore be expected to have _____ than humans do.
- A.
Fewer nephrons
- B.
Longer nephron loops
- C.
Shorter nephron loops
- D.
Longer collecting ducts
- E.
Longer convoluted tubules
Correct Answer
C. Shorter nepHron loopsExplanation
Beavers have relatively little need to conserve water because they live in aquatic environments and have easy access to water. Therefore, they could be expected to have shorter nephron loops compared to humans. Nephron loops play a crucial role in reabsorbing water from the filtrate, so shorter loops would result in less water being reabsorbed, allowing beavers to excrete more water and maintain a higher water intake.Rate this question:

Increased ADH secretion should cause the urine to have
- A.
A higher specific gravity
- B.
A lighter color
- C.
A higher pH
- D.
A lower urea concentration
- E.
A lower potassium concentration
Correct Answer
A. A higher specific gravityExplanation
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is responsible for regulating the concentration of urine by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys. When ADH secretion is increased, the kidneys reabsorb more water, resulting in a smaller volume of more concentrated urine. The specific gravity of urine is a measure of its concentration, with a higher specific gravity indicating a higher concentration of solutes. Therefore, increased ADH secretion would cause the urine to have a higher specific gravity.Rate this question:

If all other conditions remain the same, constriction of the afferent arteriole reduces the glomerular filtration rate.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Constriction of the afferent arteriole reduces the glomerular filtration rate because it decreases the blood flow into the glomerulus. The afferent arteriole is responsible for supplying blood to the glomerulus, where filtration occurs. When it constricts, it narrows the opening and restricts the amount of blood that can enter the glomerulus. As a result, less blood is filtered and the glomerular filtration rate decreases.Rate this question:
-
- 37.
Angiotensin II reduces urine output.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Angiotensin II is a hormone that constricts blood vessels and stimulates the release of aldosterone, which promotes water and sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. This results in reduced urine output, as less water and sodium are excreted in the urine. Therefore, the statement that angiotensin II reduces urine output is true.Rate this question:

A sodium deficiency (hyponatremia) could cause glycosuria.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A sodium deficiency, also known as hyponatremia, can cause glycosuria. This is because when sodium levels are low, it can disrupt the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body, leading to increased glucose levels in the urine. This condition, known as glycosuria, occurs when the kidneys are unable to reabsorb all the glucose filtered from the blood, resulting in its excretion in the urine. Therefore, it is true that a sodium deficiency can cause glycosuria.Rate this question:

Micturition depends on contraction of the detrusor muscle.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Micturition refers to the process of emptying the bladder. The detrusor muscle is responsible for contracting and relaxing to control the flow of urine. When the detrusor muscle contracts, it creates pressure on the bladder, causing urine to be expelled. Therefore, it is correct to say that micturition depends on the contraction of the detrusor muscle.Rate this question:

The intestinal phase
- B.
The gastric phase
- C.
The buccal phase
- D.
The cephalic phase
- E.
The pharyngo-esophaegeal phase
Correct Answer
A. The intestinal pHaseExplanation
The correct answer is the intestinal phase. During this phase, the enterogastric reflex is activated to inhibit gastric activity. This reflex is triggered by the presence of chyme in the small intestine, which sends signals to the stomach to slow down gastric emptying and reduce gastric secretion. This helps to ensure that the small intestine has enough time to digest and absorb nutrients properly.Rate this question:
