Immunology Quizzes & Trivia

Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that examines immunity in living organisms. Immunity is the body’s ability to ward off infection and disease, and immunity can be gained innately or adaptively. Think you know all about immunology? Take our quizzes and test yourself!

What are the key primary lymphoid organs of the immune system, and what are the secondary lymphatic tissues? What are the significant diseases that immunologists study? What are the specific tests that immunologists often conduct? What are antibodies and antigens? What is the difference between autoimmunity and immunodeficiency? Asthma and allergies are classified as what type of immune system disorder? Why are newborns’ immunological responses suppressed? What is the AAAAI? Is it possible to get an undergraduate degree in immunology? What do these branches of study focus on: circadian immunology, palaeoimmunology, and immunoproteomics?

Immunology - Complement Pathway (6)

Questions: 6 | Attempts: 3998 | Last updated: Jan 16, 2019

Sample Question
Regarding the complement pathway, which one of the following is the most accurate?

C3 convertase protects normal cells from lysis by complement.

C3a is a decay-accelerating factor and causes the rapid decay and death of bacteria.

In general, gram-positive bacteria are more likely to be killed by complement than gram-negative bacteria.

The membrane attack complex is formed as a result of activation of the classic pathway but not by activation of the alternative pathway.

The first time a person is exposed to a microorganism, the alternative pathway of complement is more likely to be activated than the classic pathway.
