Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Immune system is the defense system of an organism, which consists of various biological processes and structures protecting them against various pathogens. Immunological memory is the capacity of immune system to rapidly and exclusively recognize the antigen, which the body has encountered earlier and start a consequent immune response.

BOTH statements are FALSE
BOTH statements are TRUE
FIRST statement is FALSE; SECOND statement is TRUE
FIRST statement is TRUE; SECOND statement is FALSE
Which of the following statements is true of acquired immunity?
It does not involve experience and its forms include phagocytosis and
inflammation.
Acquired immune responses take longer to initiate than natural immune
responses.
An effective immune response occurs even before prior exposure to a particular
antigen.
It consists of a number of inborn processes that help remove foreign substances
from the body.
Which of the following is mismatched?
Epitope - Specific area on an antigen that
interacts with antibody
Acquired (or Adaptive) Immunity - innate,
nonspecific resistance to infection; present
at birth
Antigen - Substance that provokes a
specific immune response
Susceptibility - Lack of resistance to a
disease
Antibody - Protein made in response to an
antigen which can specifically bind to that
antigen
