Lesson 918 of 1524
Adaptive Specific Host Defenses
The five classes of antibody are IgM , IgG , IgA , IgE , and IgD , each differing in size, arrangement, location within the body, and function.
Practice this chapterThe five classes of antibody are IgM , IgG , IgA , IgE , and IgD , each differing in size, arrangement, location within the body, and function. Adaptive immunity is an acquired defense against foreign pathogens that is characterized by specificity and memory.
The first exposure to an antigen stimulates a primary response , and subsequent exposures stimulate a faster and strong secondary response Adaptive immunity is a dual system involving humoral immunity (antibodies produced by B cells) and cellular immunity (T cells directed against intracellular pathogens)
five classes of antibody — IgM , IgG , IgA , IgE , and IgD , each differing in size, arrangement, location within the body, and function.
Be able to define memory, primary response, secondary response, and specificity; distinguish between humoral and cellular immunity; describe the structure and function of antibodies and distinguish between the different classes of antibodies.
Worked example
What does “five classes of antibody” mean in Adaptive Specific Host Defenses?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for five classes of antibody.
- 2The book says: IgM , IgG , IgA , IgE , and IgD , each differing in size, arrangement, location within the body, and function.
- 3Keep the answer tied to this term.
Result: IgM , IgG , IgA , IgE , and IgD , each differing in size, arrangement, location within the body, and function
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for five classes of antibody.
Answer with the meaning this chapter gives. A nearby idea from the same book is a different term.
