Summary Introduction
Introduction: The innate immunity of insects consists of many protective mechanisms. Their exoskeleton acts as a physical barrier against the pathogens. Their intestinal tract is lined by a chitin layer that checks the admittance of pathogens ingested along with food. The salivary secretion has lysozyme enzyme that breaks down the “cell wall of bacteria”. The immune cells of insects are called as hemocytes. These hemocytes destroy the pathogens by phagocytosis. Some hemocytes discharge “antimicrobial peptides” into the blood circulation and kill the pathogen by destroying their outer membrane.

APC engulfs the pathogen -> APC becomes infected -> APC goes through cell death.c. APC does not engulf the pathogen because it is only part of the specific immune response.d.

- We talked in one of our first lectures about how we began to understand the potentiation of an action potential down an axon by stimulating and recording electrical changes in a giant squid neuron. Which neuroscience method enabled that discovery? Immunohistochemistry Electrophysiology Transgenic mouse lines Chemogeneticsarrow_forward7.In some viral infections, interferons, which are hydrophilic, are secreted by some white blood cells. These bind nearby cells causing uninfected cells to produce protective antiviral proteins. Based on the chemistry of this interferon (ligand/signaling molecule), are receptors required for it to exert it’s action, if so where. Select yes/no for receptor; Select location if applicable yes a receptor is required no a receptor is not required receptor location: cytosolic receptors receptor location: nuclear receptors receptor location: plasma membrane receptorsarrow_forwardCytokines (a) are regulatory Toll-like receptors (b) prevent the inflammatory response (c) include interferons and interleukins (d) are immunoglobulins (e) b and c are correctarrow_forward

Within 2 months, Elmo began having mild convulsions and showed rage and signs of confusion. A few weeks later, he began to foam at the mouth when he saw water. Elmo was taken to the hospital immediately to receive treatment against rabies. The doctor explained that when the infected dog bit Elmo, the rabies virus in the dog’s saliva entered Elmo’s body and traveled along the sensory nerves to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the brain. Elmo began showing signs of confusion and rage when the virus reached his brain. He could not swallow water or food because in absence of appropriate nerve impulses from the brain, the muscles in his throat were paralyzed. You can help Elmo by completing the following tasks: A. Follow the path of the virus from the skin on Elmo’s leg to the spinal cordand the brain by locating the structures below. B. Draw and label the three connective tissue layers that cover and…arrow_forward(a) In tobacco-associated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is the ability of the body to respond to reactive oxygen species increased or decreased? I would choose "increased", but not sure if I am correct. (b) In tobacco-associated COPD, is the innate immune system aberrantly activated or depressed? I would choose "depressed", but not sure.arrow_forward
