Describe these 2nd Line of Defenses Inflammation phagocytosis complement system fever Interferons

Which of the following proteins are part of the first line of defense against microbial invasion?   interferons C3 and C5 TLRs NOD proteins dermcidins

Which of the following is a set of immediate general defenses against infection present in all multicelled organisms?   Innate immunity   Antibody-mediated immunity   Cell-mediated immunity   Adaptive immunity

The concentration of which of the following proteins will most likely decrease in association with an acute inflammatory condition? Albumin, C-reactive protein, Alpha-2-macroglobulin, and Complement C3

What immune defense would be most impacted for a patient with a C9 complement protein deficiency? Be specific.

What is the function of mucus in preventing infections? Group of answer choices To stimulate the complement system when pathogens are present To trap pathogens so that they cannot penetrate deeper into the tissues To inhibit growth of microbes by having a highly basic pH To make antibody-antigen binding more efficient

Which of the following steps are part of the processing of antigen by immune cells? Select all that apply.   The vesicle containing the antigen fuses with a lysosome.   Enzymes in the lysosome digest the antigen into components that bind to MHC markers.   The antigen is initially released from the phagocytic cell via exocytosis.   The antigen-MHC complex becomes displayed on the cell's interior.

Part of the complement system of defense is opsonization. This process

Which of the following statements is true of acquired immunity? It does not involve experience and its forms include phagocytosis and inflammation. Acquired immune responses take longer to initiate than natural immune responses. An effective immune response occurs even before prior exposure to a particular antigen. It consists of a number of inborn processes that help remove foreign substances from the body.

Describe several reasons why phagocytes are not alwayseffective at removing pathogens from the body
