Question
Chapter 29, Problem 5WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether it is better to avoid fever medication considering the benefits of the fever.
Introduction:
The body produces various responses during infection. These responses attract the immune cells to the site of infection. These responses include inflammation at the site of infection, rise in body temperature, weakness, and many more. These responses are mainly due to the release of histamine by the mast cells.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The consequences of overmedicating a fever and the risk of allowing a fever to rise too high.
Introduction:
The property of the body to maintain internal conditions is called homeostasis. This property is manipulated during an infection, and the overall body temperature increases. This increase in the body temperature decreases the rate of growth of the pathogen so that the immune cells can fight the infection easily.

4. When tissue or blood vessel is torn or cut, the cells near the damaged part send out signals to activate platelets. As platelets begin to form a plug, more chemical signals are released to attract more…
Vaccines are given to provide protection against pathogen causing infections. Which of
the following statements best describes how vaccines work?
a Fever and swelling develop which is the first response in killing a pathogen
b. Antibodies in the vaccine provide the body with nonspecific immunity to an
antigen.
c. An inactivated or killed virus stimulates the body to develop specific immunity to
that type of virus.
d. Heathy bacteria causes the body to release toxins which will protect the body if
later exposed to different type of bacteria.
