Questions and Answers

1.

What are the 4 main components of the Immune System?
- A.
  
  White Blood Cells, Cytokines, Hormones, Inflammation
- B.
  
  Bacteria, Exercise, Bone Marrow, and Thymus
- C.
  
  Cotton Candy, Brain, Smarticles, and Your Toes
- D.
  
  Self, Non-Self, Hormones, and Lymph Nodes
Correct Answer
A. White Blood Cells, Cytokines, Hormones, Inflammation

Explanation
The immune system is composed of various components that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens. White blood cells play a crucial role in immune response by identifying and destroying foreign substances. Cytokines are signaling molecules that coordinate immune responses and regulate inflammation. Hormones also play a role in immune function by modulating the activity of immune cells. Inflammation is a protective response triggered by the immune system to eliminate harmful stimuli and initiate the healing process. Therefore, the correct answer includes these four main components of the immune system.

What does exercise have to do with the immune system?
- A.
  
  It makes bacteria tired
- B.
  
  It makes you want water, which is good for your immune system
- C.
  
  It is a form of stress the immune system can have a different response to
- D.
  
  You exercised and now you get a donut
Correct Answer
C. It is a form of stress the immune system can have a different response to

Explanation
Exercise is a form of stress that can have a different response on the immune system. When we exercise, our body goes through various physiological changes, including an increase in heart rate and circulation. These changes also affect the immune system, causing it to respond differently. Exercise has been shown to have positive effects on the immune system, such as increasing the production of antibodies and enhancing the function of immune cells. Regular exercise can help strengthen the immune system and improve its ability to fight off infections and diseases.

What is the tissue in the immune system called?
- A.
  
  Stuffing
- B.
  
  Tissue
- C.
  
  Cotton Candy
- D.
  
  Bone Marrow
Correct Answer
D. Bone Marrow

Explanation
Bone marrow is the correct answer because it is a vital tissue in the immune system. It is responsible for producing various types of blood cells, including white blood cells, which play a crucial role in the immune response. Bone marrow contains stem cells that differentiate into different types of immune cells, such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. These immune cells are essential for defending the body against infections and diseases. Therefore, bone marrow is an integral part of the immune system.

What does inflammation show?
- A.
  
  Shows a rash
- B.
  
  Itchiness
- C.
  
  The immune system is doing it's job
- D.
  
  Immune Stress
Correct Answer
C. The immune system is doing it's job

Explanation
Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system to protect the body from harmful stimuli such as pathogens or tissue damage. It involves the release of certain chemicals that cause redness, swelling, and pain at the site of injury or infection. Therefore, the statement "The immune system is doing its job" is the correct answer because inflammation is a sign that the immune system is actively working to defend the body.

What is another term for a Germ?
- A.
  
  Sickness
- B.
  
  Bacteria
- C.

- D.
  
  Disease
Correct Answer
B. Bacteria

Explanation
Bacteria is another term for a germ. Germs are microorganisms that can cause disease or infection, and bacteria is one of the main types of germs. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can be found almost everywhere, including in the air, water, soil, and inside the human body. Some bacteria are beneficial and necessary for various biological processes, while others can cause illnesses such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, or pneumonia. Therefore, bacteria is the correct answer as it is a specific type of germ.

Is exercise good for the immune system?
- A.
  
  It will wear down the system
- B.
  
  Builds it Greatly
- C.
  
  It is not good to care for it with exercise
- D.
  
  Do Not exercise for your immunity
Correct Answer
B. Builds it Greatly

Explanation
Exercise is good for the immune system because it helps to strengthen it. Regular physical activity can enhance the immune system by promoting the circulation of immune cells, reducing inflammation, and improving overall immune function. It also helps to flush out bacteria from the lungs and airways, reducing the risk of getting respiratory infections. Additionally, exercise can help to reduce stress, which can have a positive impact on the immune system. Therefore, engaging in regular exercise can greatly improve the functioning of the immune system.

What best describes lymph nodes?
- A.
  
  Squishy, Pink, Fluffy
- B.
  
  Small, Bean Shaped, Located throughout Body
- C.
  
  Orange, Delicious, Soft
- D.
  
  Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows
Correct Answer
B. Small, Bean Shaped, Located throughout Body

Explanation
Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs that are located throughout the body. They are an important part of the lymphatic system, which helps to fight off infections and remove waste materials from the body. Lymph nodes filter lymph fluid and contain immune cells that help to identify and destroy harmful substances, such as bacteria and viruses. Their small, bean-shaped structure allows them to efficiently carry out their functions and they are distributed throughout the body to ensure widespread protection.

8.

What are lymphatic vessels?
- A.
  
  What lymph nodes live in
- B.
  
  The home of the famous meaty hamburger
- C.
  
  What OJ travels through
- D.
  
  A network of channels connected to each other located through the body
Correct Answer
D. A network of channels connected to each other located through the body

Explanation
Lymphatic vessels are a network of channels that are interconnected throughout the body. These vessels play a crucial role in the lymphatic system, which is responsible for maintaining fluid balance, transporting immune cells, and removing waste and toxins from tissues. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are also part of the lymphatic system and are found along the lymphatic vessels. Therefore, the correct answer is "A network of channels connected to each other located through the body."

What does the blood travel through?
- A.
  
  Arteries
- B.
  
  Veins
- C.
  
  Blood Vessels
- D.
  
  Lymph Nodes
Correct Answer
C. Blood Vessels

Explanation
Blood travels through blood vessels, which include both arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Blood vessels also include capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. Therefore, blood vessels are the correct answer as they encompass all the structures through which blood circulates in the body.

Who discovered the immune system?
- A.
  
  Unknown
- B.
  
  Einsten
- C.
  
  A doctor from Ireland
Correct Answer
A. Unknown

Explanation
The correct answer is "Unknown" because the discovery of the immune system cannot be attributed to a specific individual. The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens. Throughout history, many scientists and researchers have contributed to our understanding of the immune system, but it is not possible to pinpoint a single person as its discoverer.
