- Macrophages
- Neutrophils
- Dendritic cells
- Liver cells
Question 3
Multiple Choice
How does Ebola virus enter the dendritic cells?
- Through pores in the cell membrane
- By binding to receptors for cell transport
- By breaking down the cell wall
- Through blood vessels
Question 4
Multiple Choice
What happens to the dendritic cells once infected by Ebola?
- They strengthen their defenses
- They become virus production machines
- They activate more immune cells
- They self-destruct immediately
Question 5
Multiple Choice
What is one of the consequences of neutrophils being activated by Ebola?
- They start repairing tissues
- They release more fluid causing internal bleeding
- They become more effective against viruses
- They activate liver cells
Question 6
Multiple Choice
What organ does Ebola easily infect, leading to significant damage?
- Heart
- Lungs
- Liver
- Kidneys
Question 7
Multiple Choice
What is a cytokine storm?
- A strong antiviral drug
- A type of immune cell
- An intense immune response
- A fluid buildup in the lungs
Question 8
Multiple Choice
What is the main way to get infected by Ebola?
- Through the air
- By consuming contaminated food
- By contact with body fluids of symptomatic individuals
- By insect bites
Question 9
Multiple Choice
How does the media influence public perception of Ebola?
- By downplaying its severity
- By accurately reporting statistics
- By creating hype and fear
- By providing medical solutions
Question 10
Multiple Choice

- 10%
- 30%
- 60%
- 90%
Question 13
Multiple Choice
What role do macrophages play in the immune response to Ebola?
- They destroy the virus directly
- They signal blood vessels to release fluids
- They activate dendritic cells
- They create antibodies
Question 14
Multiple Choice
Why is the immune system unable to effectively respond to an Ebola infection?
- It lacks the necessary cells
- Ebola directly attacks and disables key immune cells
- The virus hides in the brain
- Ebola is resistant to all immune responses
Question 15
Multiple Choice
What happens to the body during a cytokine storm caused by Ebola?
- The virus is eradicated completely
- The immune system shuts down
- There is significant collateral damage, especially in blood vessels
- The body temperature drops significantly
Question 16
Multiple Choice
What do natural killer cells usually do in the immune response?
- They produce antibodies
- They kill infected cells
- They repair damaged tissues
- They activate blood clotting
Question 17
