Question
Chapter 20, Problem 1VC
(a)
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the change on the wall of the vessel will help the organism to spread to other locations.
Concept introduction:
White blood cells or leukocytes are formed as same as RBCs by a process called erythropoiesis. White blood cells are agranulocytes or granulocytes and lack hemoglobin. They are defensive cells which provide protection against the pathogen.
(b)
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The progress of the disease in the case when organisms are able to survive phagocytosis.
Concept introduction:
White blood cells or Leucocytes have no pigment so; it is called White blood cells. It has property to defend the body against invading pathogens. They engulf the pathogens by phagocytosis and export them out of the body.

Marie Curie was a famous Polish-born French scientist known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Her work not only brought her fame but her death as well; she developed aplastic anemia due to radiation exposure. She experienced recurrent and prolonged infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal). Explain why she suffered from recurrent infections. Be sure to mention the different types of WBC and the relation to the various infections, and the reasons why she lacked the cell-mediated and the humeral response.

- A few years ago, Ebola was all over the news and one treatment method involved patients who had recovered then donated plasma to patients fighting an active infection. It is a remarkable treatment, with potential ethical dilemmas. Convalescent plasma is now also being used to treat COVID-19 infections. Review these articles on both Ebola and COVID-10 convalescent plasma use. 1. What are the potential ethical issues for donors, recipients, and medical providers? 2. What rules and stipulations should be applied to it's use, given that there is a limited supply for use in treatment? 3.

- Please answer the one question below, thanks In 2013, there was an outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at an NFL training facility. One player suffered a career-ending infection to his foot and sued the team owners for $20 million for unsanitary conditions that contributed to the bacterial infection. A settlement with undisclosed terms was reached in 2017. MRSA is highly contagious and is spread by direct skin contact or by airborne transmission and can result in amputation or death. In addition, MRSA is very difficult to treat because it is resistant to many antibiotics. For example, β-lactamβ-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, function by binding to and inactivating bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which synthesize the bacterial cell wall. However, MRSA expresses an alternative type of PBP, called PBP2a encoded by the mecA gene. β-lactamβ-lactam antibiotics only weakly bind PBP2a, and thus cell wall synthesis can continue in their…arrow_forwardWhen vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is used to infect mice via footpad injection, viral particles are trapped in the draining lymph node (the popliteal lymph node) within 5 minutes of injection. These viral particles are then retained in the lymph node for many hours, where they can be visualized on cells that are interacting with B cells. The cells retaining the viral particles in the lymph node are not tissue-resident dendritic cells that have migrated to the lymph node with the virus, as this process takes much longer than 5 minutes. In which region of the lymph node would you expect to find the trapped viral particles and on which cells?arrow_forwardPlease explain, would the answer be C). This patient is at risk for infection because of his low white blood cell count. 64-year-old African American male visits his primary care physician with complaints of bone pain, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation. The patient has a history of good health and exercises regularly. However, his recent symptoms have started to interfere with his active lifestyle. After a physical examination, his physician orders laboratory analysis to identify what might be causing his symptoms. Based on the CBC results and your knowledge of the cellular components of the immune system, what is an immunological concern for this patient? A). This patient is at increased risk for bruising and bleeding because of his low platelet count. B). The patient’s fatigue is caused by the lack of red blood cells (anemia). C). This patient is at risk for infection because of his low white blood cell count.arrow_forward
