Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1SL
Summary Introduction
a.
To determine:
The ways by which one can keep their airways warm while going out in winters/cold weather.
Introduction:
The immune system is the defense system of the body that fights the pathogens entering the body. The activity of the immune system gradually reduces during the lower temperature.
Summary Introduction
b.
To determine:
The importance of washing hands frequently during winter.
Introduction:
Human hands are the most exposed parts of the body. Hands touch different surfaces in one’s daily life. The very same hands are used to carry out important activities such as eating and cooking of food. Most of the infections have a chance to spread through the hands.

In Ingested poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning, how does a person get this disease? Is it genetic? Is it contagious?
Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, is a common ailment in the spring. People who experience hay fever have sensitive immune systems that respond to pollen in the air. When pollen, the allergen, enters the airways, the inflammatory response is triggered, even though pollen is not a dangerous molecule. Symptoms include inflammation of the airways, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. While there is currently no cure for hay fever, people suffering from it often take antihistamines, medications that inhibit the action of histamine. How would this help the condition?
I made my own multiple choice question. Please add and remove anything that does not make sense, and also make this question more challenging. Also make sure to the questions should have an accompanying correct answer in addition to three distractors (wrong answers).For each distractor, provide an explanation on why this option is incorrect, focusing on how it is distinguishable from the correct answer. For the correct answer, elaborate why it is the best answer.
What aspect of Influenza greatly contributes to our susceptibility of infection year afteryear?a. Antigenetic drift.b. Highly conserved microbial structures between strains.c. Antigenetic shift.d. Antibiotic resistance.

An allergy is caused when a person's immune system overreacts to a normally harmless substance, such as plant pollen, dust, or pet dander. Substances that trigger an allergic reaction are called allergens. An allergic reaction is triggered when the immune system recognizes an allergen as foreign and tries to destroy it by releasing histamines, much like it would if it encountered a harmful virus or bacteria. Histamines cause localized swelling, and result in allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, a runny nose, and sneezing. Which statement best explains how an allergen causes an allergic reaction? a. The initial exposure to the allergen causes a negative feedback mechanism in the immune system to become overactive and leads to the release of histamines that destroy immune cells. b. Prolonged exposure to the allergen interferes with a negative feedback loop in the immune system, which results in the immune system releasing histamines more aggressively with increased allergen…arrow_forward
- Human rhinoviruses are a large family of related viruses responsible for many cases of the "common cold." They are naked, ss(+)RNA viruses. When a person gets a cold, most of the symptoms result from inflammation of the upper respiratory system, caused by the innate immune response to the virus. Describe how the innate immune system would recognize the presence of a rhinovirus infection, and then how its response could lead to cold symptoms.arrow_forwardIn December 2020, Jean, a 30 year-old man, went to a concert in his town where more than 3 thousand people attended. Only 30% of the people in the concert were wearing mask, and there was not enough space to keep social distance. After 6 days, Jean started to develop fever and he lost the sense of smell and taste. Eight days after the party, he began to have difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with COVID-19. Let’s try to write the whole story about how the SARS-CoV2 invaded Jean’s body. SARS-CoV2 viral particles entered Jean’s nasal cavity and attached to the respiratory mucous membranes. Some mucosal barriers prevent part of the viral particles to penetrate the respiratory epithelium. Which are these barriers and how do they act? 2) Which cells are recruited from the bloodstream to the connective tissue (under the respiratory epithelium) to phagocyte the viral particles? Explain the recruitment mechanism.
