Will has just been diagnosed with melanoma on the anteromedial surface of his thigh. Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, in large part because it tends to spread through the body (metastasize) fairly quickly. To determine if Will’s cancer has metastasized, Will’s doctor takes a sample of tissue from his lymph nodes and looks for the presence of cancer cells. If cancer cells are found in the lymph nodes, Will may have some lymph nodes surgically removed. Will’s doctor warns him that he may experience uncomfortable swelling in his leg if this happens
A) Explain why Will’s doctor is looking at the inguinal lymph nodes first to determine if the melanoma has spread. (A complete answer will include an explanation of why the ymph nodes and why these lymph nodes in particular.)
B) Use what you’ve learned about the lymphatic system to explain why removal of the lymph nodes may cause swelling in Will’s leg.
The human skin houses trillions of bacteria, called the skin flora or skin microbiota. How would you explain our immunity to these bacteria? What immune system/s is functioning here?
John frequently encountered bacterial infections. Tests for immune cells showed the presence of mature B and T cells in his blood. Extensive analysis showed that John was lacking a gene responsible for a protein for complement factor C5.
1. Which immune response will be inhibited because of C5 deficiency?
2. How would it affect John’s ability to fight infections? Specifically what type of infections is he likely to have difficulty fighting? Please explain in detail.
3. What would have been the implications if he was lacking the C3 complement component?

- Answer the following related to the topic of immune defense: a) Sometimes the body can attack its own tissue as if it was foreign. We call these disorders autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own myelin. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the lining of the joints. How do you think each of these diseases would impact the function in the human body? b) What role do other human body systems, such as the digestive system, the integumentary system, and the respiratory system play in protection? Provide an example for each system that demonstrates how a feature, substance, or action of that system helps keep you well.arrow_forwardWhen surface barriers protecting the body are breached, the second line of defense (of the innate immune system) is activated.
