Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Directly, antibodies can affect infectious agents or their toxic products by neutralization (inacti-vating or blocking the binding of antigen to receptors), agglutination (clumping insoluble particles that are in suspension), or precipitation (making a soluble antigen into an insoluble precipitate). Indirectly, antibodies activate components of innate resistance, including complement and phag-ocytes. Antibodies are generally a mixed population of classes, specificities, and capacity to pro-vide the functions listed above.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The amount of antibody in a serum sample is referred to as the titer; a higher titer indicates more antibodies. Culture determines the type of organism that causes an infection, and sensitivity identifies the antibody it is sensitive to. The terms agglutination and precipitation are not used to identify a test to determine immunity.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia.

The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
