Question
Chapter 37.2, Problem 2CYL
Summary Introduction
To name:
The major components of the innate immune response, and describe how each of them combats invasion by microbes.
Introduction:
The body uses defense mechanism to resist the infection against the pathogens present in the external environment. Defense system involves innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is present in an organism since birth and adaptive immunity is acquired after exposure to the pathogen.

- This week you learned about the role that macrophages, neutrophils, and cytokines play in the innate immune response and looked at how they contribute to the development of inflammation and the inflammatory and the acute phase response. In certain bacterial illnesses, particularly lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a physician may not treat the patient with antibiotics (which will kill the microorganisms), but rather give the patient anti-inflammatory medications. Why might a physician choose to inhibit inflammation in the case of an infection? What types of damage might the inflammatory response do to the surrounding tissues, not just the bacteria it was designed to combat?arrow_forwardDiscuss the key components that make up the innate immune system, and describe how the major elements of the innate immune system protect the body against infection.arrow_forwardInnate Defense Briefly describe the role of each in our innate defense system.. skin inflammation Турe here...
