Chapter 34.1, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
“The cell types that provide defense mechanism to the body with some of their functions”.
Concept introduction:
White blood cells or leukocytes are formed by the process of erythropoiesis. There are two types of white blood cells: agranulocytes or granulocytes. They are defensive cells, which provide protection against the pathogen. In the human body, five different types of WBCs are present: lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils.

These internal defenses include inflammation and phagocytosis amongst other quick responses. Briefly explain acute inflammation in terms of vascular and cellular events. Use your understanding of blood vessels (smooth muscle and endothelial cells), chemical signalling and the interstitial space to help explain the four signs of inflammation - heat, redness, pain and swelling.arrow_forward

- The defenses created by physical barriers are often supported by chemical barriers (and vis versa), in the innate immune response, as a way to target the normal living conditions of foreign invaders. This may include an acidic environment, a nutrient deprived environment, or sequestering/ blocking an organism into a certain location in the body.
