Document Summary

If lysozyme doesn"t kill the bacteria entering your stomach, you"ll throw up instead: one of the first responses to infection is inflammation. Inflammation also causes local blood clotting which is another physical barrier: temps above 103 are dangerous and above 105 can be fatal, although a fever does aid in the process of killing microbes. Innate immunity protects us from small infections or stalls the progress of a larger infection until the adaptive immune system is activated. Lymphoid stem cells form lymphocytes: a lymphoid stem cell can form a b cell progenitor which then forms either a plasma or memory cell. It can also form a t cell progenitor that forms either a th or tc cell. Adaptive immune system: adaptive immune system is only present in vertebrates, main difference is the adaptive immune system can recognize specific pathogens and remember them. 80% are t cells, 15% b cells, the rest are undifferentiated.

2. which of the following best describe the qualities of most antigens?

a macromolecules that are foreign to the host b atomic elements that are not normally present in the human body c macromolecules tah tare produced by the host organism d atomic elements that are harmful or toxic

3. an adbantages to adaptive immunity is

a its memory cell that provide quicker larger and more efficient immune response upon second exposure to an antigen b its need for several cells to be activated over several days on first exposure c the ability for its individul cells to respond to many differnt pathogens d the use of antibodies that cause cells lysis and kill invading cells

4, an advantages of innate immunity is
