a. While surface properties influence the interaction with the surrounding tissue, thus the inflammatory response, bulk properties specify the long-term behavior of the biomaterial under different physical/mechanical conditions, i.e. how it will react to stress, load and the like. b. Biomaterial surface is important for it will be the first to interact with proteins and cells, it will determine whether or not a biomaterial implantation is successful depending on whether the inflammatory response is acute or chronic, which is influenced by surface properties.

How do lactoferrins inhibit pathogen growth? Group of answer choices A. Lactoferrins are used by phagocytic cells to digest pathogens once they have been ingested by the phagocytes. B. Lactoferrins bind to pathogens and are secreted during urination. C. These molecules bind iron, which is important for microbial growth. D. These molecules cut the bonds holding NAG and NAM together in bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to lyse.

The statements are given below, which will best describe why antimicrobial drugs that affect cell wall synthesis tend to have selective toxicity when used by humans? Human cells only synthesize peptidoglycan as a food source Cell wall synthesis is a common metabolic process in humans and bacteria. Most bacteria only synthesize cell walls during their log phase of growth. Human cells do not have cell walls.
Microbial recognition and tissue damage initiate an inflammatory response. True/False: The inflammatory response is characterized by four classic symptoms: heat, redness, pain, and swelling. In some instances, this response can be triggered by stimuli that are non-infectious such as asbestos, a process known as ‘sterile inflammation.’ When exposure to the stimulating trigger is persistent, a state of chronic inflammation can result. This process is likely to be detrimental to the health of the host.
