1. Which type of immunity serves to protect against day-to-day pathogen exposure?
a. Innate immunity

Innate immunity helps protect you from smaller day-to-day exposures to pathogenic organism
but cannot provide long-term immunity to any single specific disease-causing microorganism.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 295
2. In acquired immunity, what is the body’s response to antigen exposure?
a. The body initiates the clotting cascade.
b. The body produces additional antigens.
c. The body produces an antibody response.
d. The body increases antigen response through lymphocyte action.
ANS: C
Exposure to antigens is the trigger for lymphocytes to begin producing antibodies. These
antibodies can be made in such high amounts that, when you are reinfected by the same
microorganism, they attack and destroy it or rid the body of it before it can make you sick again.

critically important in preventing young infants from many illnesses during the first 6 months
after birth.
