- During the inflammatory response, histamine is released by damaged cells which attracts phagocytes to the region. This attraction by a chemical is called ___. anergy opsonization chemotaxis phagocytosisarrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements regarding our innate immune system is false? Question 15 options: The normal flora takes up space so that pathogenic microbes can't grow. The skin prevents entry of microbes into the body. Coughing speeds up the ciliary escalator, while smoking can destroy it. Phagocytosis destroys microbes that have escaped our physical and chemical barriers. Macrophages create antibodies against specific microbes.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT one of the major functions of T lymphocytes (T cells)? activating the immune system binding to antigens presented by MHC proteins production of antibodies forming memory cells to more rapidly respond to future infections by the same pathogen attacking our own cells that are infected with a virus or cancerousarrow_forward
- The innate immunity system clears about what percentage of the invading pathogens? 0.90% 50% 0 10% 0 1%arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forwardPlace the event from first to lastarrow_forward
- The dead outer surface of skin (not mucous membranes) uses which of the following innate defenses to inhibit microbial growth? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Prion production Interferon production Low pH Drynessarrow_forwardMolly went to a friends house and came home with a rash on her arms and legs. The friend had a cat but no fleas. Explain which cells of her immune system were activated. She took an allergy medicine.arrow_forwardYour innate immune system provides very quick, but non-specific responses to pathogens, while your adaptive immune response does the opposite.

- 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)?arrow_forwardYour patient, Sally Doe, has a parasitic infection. Which of the following is false concerning her infection? Her pmns are phagocytic Her eosinophils are producing chemical mediators She is synthesizing IgE Her initial host immune response attempts to phagocytize the parasite Her NK cells are cytolyticarrow_forward
