Primary Immune response: 1) Smaller Peak Response 2) Usually IgM>IgG 3) Lowere average Antibody Affinity Secondary Immune Response 1) Larger Peak Response 2) Relative increase in IgG and under certain situations in IgA or IgE ( Heavy Isotype switching) 3) Higher Average Antibody Affinity ( Affinity Maturation)

Why is secondary response quicker and more robust than primary response?
It depends on which responses you are talking about. In the autonomic system of the body that protects if from harm, the first response is quicker and the secondary response is more robust, and that is because it takes longer to involve more systems in the body to be called into action.
The foreign or nonself proteins that trigger immune responses are called?
An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.
What causes responses?
a stimulus causes a response
Which is more rapid primary or secondary immune response?
Secondary Immune Response is more rapid.
How does the host fight Ebola?
This is part of the problem. It appears that the victim typically expresses no autoimmune response to Ebola at all, with immunological responses (perhaps) being limited to responses targeted at secondary, opportunistic infections. It is postulated that some of the glycoproteins on the surface of the Ebola virion may lock down swelling and immune response by binding receptor sites, but this is only a theory at this point.
What are three accomplishments of the inflammatory response?
1)external barriers 2)nonspecific responses 3)specific responses
Previously learned responses are put together in a?
response chain
Compare and contrast stimulus and response?
A stimulus is any event or input that evokes a response, while a response is the reaction or behavior triggered by the stimulus. Stimuli can be internal or external, while responses are the observable reactions to stimuli. In summary, stimuli initiate responses, and responses are the reactions to stimuli.
Would lack of memory B cells for a particular antigen impact the primary or secondary humoral response?
secondary humoral response.
Are After-action reports from ineffective incident responses find that response problems are far more likely to result from inadequate management?
After-action reports from ineffective incident responses find that response problems are far more likely to result from:
The two main types of plant responses are tropic responses and nastic responses?
Tropic responses are called tropism. It is the growth or turning movement of plants in response to an environmental stimulus. Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli, independent of the stimulus's position.
Difference between physiological and behavioral response?
Physiological responses are automatic bodily reactions to a stimulus, such as changes in heart rate or hormone levels. Behavioral responses, on the other hand, involve actions or movements in response to a stimulus, like running away from a threat or freezing in fear. Physiological responses are often internal and can precede behavioral responses.
