c.
d.
Thalamus
Spleen
Thyroid
Thymus

Exposed to the wrong type foreign bacteria
for the first time, a person would:
a. have no immediate reaction.
b. have an immediate and severe reaction.
c. have an antibody response that would peak in
approximately 10 days.
d. have an antibody response that would peak in
2–3 days.

Initial exposure to the wrong type foreign
bacteria would cause an antibody response that
would peak in approximately 10 days. Second
exposure would yield a much faster response (2–
3 days) due to existence of memory cells.
