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.

1) The immune system and the brain are (two correct answers) :
unrelated to one another
strictly connected
communicate through biological pathways including inflammation
2) How would you define the relationship between the immune system and the brain?
a) Unidirectional (the immune system does not influence the brain)
b) Unidirectional (the brain influences the immune system but only in case of severe physical diseases like cancer)
c) bidirectional (they influence each other)

What are these three things? Explain how these three things are transmitted and retained in the brain, and how these three things impact our body (Hint: a good answer should include the terms neuron, dendrite, axon, action potential, and synapse)arrow_forwardWhich of these types of cytokines do not match with the given description? A. Autocrine - The same cell secretes and receives the cytokine signal. B. Paracrine- The cytokine signal is secreted from one cell to a nearby cell(s). C.

- A hypothetical disorder prevents memory cells from forming. What effect would this have on the immune system? B lymphocytes would be affected, but not T lymphocytes, Vaccinations would no longer be useful, The inflammatory response would no longer be effective, or The adaptive immune response would cease to function, but the innate immune response would continue to function normally.arrow_forwardWhat does innate mean? How is the innate immune system different from the adaptive immune system? Compare the strategies of innate immunity with strategies of adaptive immunity. Give specific examples. How do vaccines protect us from diseases? Which cells in the immune system become activated after the injection? Your answer should be written as 2 or more paragraphs with a total word count of 400 or more.arrow_forwardA child receiving an oral vaccine against polio, a disease caused by a virus that infects neurons.

- What function do receptors play in specific immune responses andhow can they be made to vary so widely?arrow_forwardAnne had the smallpox virus. She is unlikely to get sick if she is infected with the smallpox virus again because her immune system has 'memory' of the virus and can fight it off effectively.
