True or false: Monocytes are precursors of macrophages. - answer
True. Monocytes are found in blood but when they move into tissues,
they are macrophages.
What cells are important for parasite control, allergy, and
inflammation? - answer 1. mast cell (release histamine when activated)
2. eosinophil (similar function as mast cell but arrive at scene later)
3. basophil (uncommon; function unknown)
4. dendritic cell (internalize pathogens & active T-cells & help initiate
adaptive immune response-serving as a bridge)
,What are two types of lymphocytes? - answer T cells and B cells.
T or F: Plasma cells are B-cells that actively secrete antibodies. - answer
True.
What is the effector function? - answer A job that a cell has once it is

stimulating factor) --> drives the production of neutrophils
2. cytokines

Blood cell development occurs where in the body? - answer fetal liver
or spleen, and bone marrow (adults only)
What does lymphoid progenitor differentiate into? - answer 1. B cells
2. T cells
3. Natural Killer (NK) cells
What does myeloid progenitor differentiate into? - answer 1. basophils
2. eosinophils
3. neutrophils
4. mast cells
