Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An antigen is usually a foreign protein that stimulates the formation of an antibody.

Answer: G
 B cells are responsible for producing antibodies in response to antigens.

Answer: J
 Antibodies are proteins produced by B cells and are responsible for binding to antigens and neutralizing them.

Answer: D
 Artificial active immunity is acquired through vaccination, where a weakened or dead form of a pathogen is introduced to the body to stimulate an immune response and create immunity.

Answer: I
 Artificial passive immunity is acquired through the transfer of pre-made antibodies from one individual to another, such as through medical treatments like immune globulin therapy.

Answer: E
 Macrophages are cells of the immune system that engulf and digest foreign invaders, such as bacteria or viruses.

Answer: B
 T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a role in coordinating the immune response to foreign pathogens.

Answer: F
 Natural passive immunity is acquired through the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another naturally, such as through breast milk or placental transfer from a mother to her fetus.

 Natural active immunity is acquired through the body's natural exposure to antigens and subsequent immune response, leading to the formation of lasting immunity.
