The human immune system has a variety of ways to protect us from pathogens, including innate and adaptive defenses. Describe one example of each of these types of defense, including how each example works to protect us.

Which of these is an incorrect description of either the adaptive or innate immune responses?   Innate immunity involves both surface barriers and internal defenses. Only adaptive immunity involves defense against a specific foreign invader. Inflammation is an innate immune response but not an adaptive immune response. Chemicals are involved in adaptive immunity but not innate immunity. Immune system cells play a role in both innate and adaptive immune responses.

Which of the following is true about the adaptive immune system? Check all please. Adaptive immunity develops several days after the initial infection, but eliminate pathogens in a specific manner and is saved as memory to encounter the same reinfection Adaptive immunity is improved with repeated infections with the same pathogen A robust primary adaptive immunity can be generated in the absence of innate immunity Adaptive immune cells are B cells that make antibodies and T cells that eliminate infected cells and make cytokines Dendritic cells present antigens to T cells, whereas macrophages present antigens to B cells.

Johnny has just been infected and needs your help in letting him know how his body is fighting the infection. To do so, describe how the innate and adaptive immune systems work together. You should address the following: 1. define adaptive and innate immunity; 2. Describe the role of natural killer cells (how do they work); 3. what are antigen presenting cells and what is their function, what are MHCs?; 4. describe the role of the complement system; 5. what is the role of interferons?; 6. How do helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells and B lymphocytes work make sure you address adaptive immunity memory?; 7. Define HIV, which cells do they attack and why do some individuals develop persistent lymphadenopathy (swollen or enlarged lymph nodes)?

What part of defense would likely be affected if the pathogen contained a mutation in it's pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)? the pathogen would secrete greater amounts of toxins. the pathogen might not be recognized by the host. the pathogen would be easily recognized by the host's TLRs. the pathogen would not be able to penetrate the host's physical barriers.
