Self Quiz for The Adaptive Immune System: The Lymphoid System

Study the material in this section and then write out the answers to these questions.
Do not just click on the answers and write them out. This will not test your understanding of this tutorial.

1. Match the following with the BEST answer:

_____ Contain antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, and ever changing populations of B-lymphocytes and T- lymphocytes. Examples include the tonsils, the appendix, Peyer's patches, MALT, SALT, lymph nodes, and the spleen. (ans)

_____ Produce B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes. The bone marrow and the thymus. (ans)

_____ The fluid surrounding cells in the body. (ans)

_____ The liquid portion of the blood. (ans)

_____ A diffuse system of small concentrations of lymphoid tissue found in various sites of the body such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, eye, and skin. It is populated by loose clusters of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, plasma cells, activated T_H cells, and macrophages. (ans)

_____ The liquid found in lymph vessels. (ans)

_____ Expose antigens found in the lymph to dendritic cells, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. (ans)

_____ Expose antigens found in the blood to dendritic cells, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. (ans)
