Textbook Question
Chapter 26.3, Problem 1CR
Cells involved in innate and adaptive immunity originate from hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow. The blood and lymph systems circulate cells and proteins that are important components of the immune response. Diverse leukocytes participate in immune responses in all parts of the body.
Describe the significance of bone marrow, blood, and lymph to cells and proteins associated with the immune system.

Monocytes move from the systemic circulatory system into general connective tissues, where they differentiate into what phagocytic cell type?
A.Macrophage
B.T cell
C.B cell
D.Neutrophil
Compare and contrast innate and adaptive immunity. Include three similarities in terms of cell and/or cytokine actions and a discussion of the three hallmark differences (used to define each immune response).
In hemolytic disease of the newborn please explain how the key immune components develop normally and are regulated to maintain health in the absence of disease? Identify particular cells or proteins, where these cells or proteins originate and how specificity is established. How they function in immune system, describe how the functions of these components are regulated normally. Example How they are activated and inactivated and how tolerance to self is established.
