Chapter 37, Problem 6FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Allergy triggers the activation of antibody against harmless substances which are called as allergens. Sometimes the immune system may launch inappropriate action against the immune cells or may be affected by the disorders that reduce the effectiveness of immunity. Autoimmune diseases and immune deficiency diseases are the results of malfunctions in the immune system.

Students have asked these similar questions
A _______ response is when the immune system responds faster upon second encounter with an antigen.
True or False
Specialized organs, tissues, and cells make up the immune system.
Parasites, viruses, and antibodies are harmful invaders.
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.
True
False

- When the immune system initiates an inflammatory response, this is always beneficial to resolving the injury or infection. True Falsearrow_forwardWhether the statement, "Because a monoclonal antibody recognizes a specific antigenic site (epitope), it binds only to the specific protein against which it was made." is true or false.arrow_forwardCells called histiocytes are specialized phagocytes which remain within certain tissues.

- Nonspecific internal defenses against disease include________, which engulf and digest microbes;________, which destroy cells that have been infectedby viruses; the_______ , provoked by injury; and______, an elevation of body temperature that slows microbial reproduction and enhances the body’s defenses.arrow_forwardThe response to intracellular pathogens, by the innate immune system is the same as the response to extracellular pathogens, including phagocytosis, inflammation, and/or extracellular killing. This shows the hallmark of the innate immune response as it is not specific and has no memory to treat pathogens differently. True Falsearrow_forwardAnswer the following related to the topic of immune defense: a) Sometimes the body can attack its own tissue as if it was foreign. We call these disorders autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own myelin. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the lining of the joints. How do you think each of these diseases would impact the function in the human body? b) What role do other human body systems, such as the digestive system, the integumentary system, and the respiratory system play in protection? Provide an example for each system that demonstrates how a feature, substance, or action of that system helps keep you well.arrow_forward
- The immune system can be split into two major categories, the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Compare and contrast these two systems and their response to a bacterial pathogen that entered the body through a cut in the skin. In your answer describe two ways in which the innate immune system protects against this pathogen, as well as two ways that the adaptive immune system protectS against this pathogen. Be sure to name any cells/organs/tissues/structures that may be involved in each of these processes in order to receive full marks. This can be done as a list in point form.arrow_forwardThe body’s immune response comprises innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Virulence is the capacity of a pathogen to cause disease BOTH statements are FALSE BOTH statements are TRUE FIRST statement is FALSE; SECOND statement is TRUE FIRST statement is TRUE; SECOND statement is FALSEarrow_forwardIs it possible for the immune system to eliminate the viruses without B cells? Why or why not? (This question will be graded based on your ability to think critically – even if the event described is not realistic.)arrow_forward
- The classic inflammatory response (heat, swelling, redness, pain) reflects the communication of innate and adaptive defenses. Which of the following is not correct about this response? Group of answer choices Non-cytopathic viruses stimulate the inflammatory response Adjuvants stimulate inflammation and therefore a good antibody response Dendritic cells link the innate and adaptive responses Tumor necrosis factor alpha is a major inducer of inflammation Increased blood flow is one result of inflammationarrow_forwardtrue or false The big difference between "B" cells and "T" cells is "B" cells attack invader antigens and "T" cells transform into plasma cells which secrete antibodies . True Falsearrow_forward________________ immunity is a type of adaptive immunity that results in antibody release, while__________________immunity is a type of adaptive immunity that results in extraceullar killng.arrow_forward
