Question
Chapter 19, Problem 14RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The type of WBCs that provide the body with nonspecific defenses.
Introduction:
White blood cells or WBCs are the constituents of the blood that has many functions such as protection of the body from foreign bodies, transport of components. They are obtained from pluripotent cells of the bone marrow, and are of five different types namely; neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes.

Students have asked these similar questions
If a person is given a transfusion with the wrong blood type, what mechanism of
action is responsible for the reaction seen in the body?
O 1) IgE binds to mast cells releasing cytokines
2)
Antigen-antibody complexes (IgG, IgM and IgA) lodge in basement
membranes of tissues, neutrophil degranulation damages the tissues
O 3) T cells respond to the inappropriate cells
4)
IgG and IgM bind to cells stimulating complement, triggering cell lysis
Name the five kinds of WBCs and state the specific functions of each?
Name the WBCs that produce antibodies.

- Why might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+ baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's blood)? A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant with an Rh- baby. B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the mom produces can cross the placenta and attack the baby's blood. C) The Rh- mother always produces antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or subsequent).arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the “window” regarding antibody presence in the blood?arrow_forwardWhere are type one interferons produced in mononucleosis?arrow_forward
