Hematopoiesis is... * the development of blood components the formation of neurons the formation of blood vessels O the formation of mesoderm If a baby was born with cleft palate and the mother smoked you might consider a gene-environment interaction. For example.. the baby had a mutation in a gene that was required to detoxify smoke the mother also drank alcohol the baby also had a neural tube defect O that the father also smoked Clear selection

Figure 17.17 The Rh antigen is found on Rh-positive red blood cells. An Rh-negative female can usually carry an Rh-positive fetus to term without difficulty. However, if she has a second Rh-positive fetus, her body may launch an immune attack that causes hemolytic disease of the newborn. Why do you think hemolytic disease is only a problem during the second or subsequent pregnancies?

III. LAB REPORT You inherited your blood type from your parents. Your blood type is based on antigens found on your red blood cells named A or B and antibodies found in your plasma called a or b. See Table 1 for the antigen-antibody make-up of different blood types. Table 1 Blood type Antigens Antibodies A A b B B a AB A and B neither a nor b O neither A nor B both a and b A.

Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID) that inhibits the formation of blood clots andis taken regularly by individuals with a heart condition.Steroids such as cortisol are used to control someautoimmune diseases and severe arthritis by downregulatingthe inflammatory response. After reading therole of inflammation in the body’s response to infection,can you predict an undesirable consequence of taking antiinflammatorydrugs on a regular basis?

Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a high contagious bacterium. People with tuberculosis will often have a persistent (sometimes bloody) cough, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. M. tuberculosis produces a protein we will call “X”. A new test for tuberculosis checks for X antibodies in a person’s blood. If the antibodies are present, the result is “positive.” Why would X antibodies be present in someone’s blood? What specific kind of cells would produce them?
