Question
Chapter 45, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
Based on the fact that astronauts in space show a decline in their ability to mount an immune response and, consequently, develop a decreased resistance to infection. An experiment to be designed on Earth to answer this question.
Introduction:
Zero or micro gravity is exhibited in space as well as by the absence of air and atmosphere. Since space does not contain air in space and no atmosphere, so there is no gravity. Microgravity can only be experienced on research center designed in NASA. Human body when experience microgravity affect many body system functions, since humans evolved on Earth and are acclimatized to earth gravitational field.

- 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.

- What happens once the newly made antibodies find and attach to the antigen? What are the 5 possibilities.

Antibodies protect you primarily against foreign cells in your body fluids while T-cells protect you primarily against foreign cells inside you body cells. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSome immune system cells like B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes must first be "trained" in either the bone marrow or thymus because they can do their jobs. Which of the following best describes the purpose of this "training" during their maturation? to selectively remove any lymphocytes that show immunity against our own cells and our own antigens in our body to expose these cells to all of the potential pathogens and their antigens they may encounter in the future to activate them so that they differentiate into plasma and memory cells and begin producing antibodies to make sure that each lymphocyte is capable of recognizing a large number of different pathogen antigens to initiate a secondary and stronger immune response after encountering an invading pathogenarrow_forward
- Which of the following is true about the immune system? CHeck all that apply. Neutrophils are abundant granulocytes that phagocytose bacteria, whereas eosinophils eliminate helminth parasites Anatomic barriers include epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells Dendritic cells and macrophages are phagocytic cells that can present antigen T lymphocytes Innate immune cells are macrophages, granulocytes, natural killer cells and adaptive immune cells are B and T cells B and T cells originate from myeloid progenitor, whereas monocytes and neutrophils from lymphoid progenitor.arrow_forwardThe development of primary and secondary immune responses to an antigen differ significantly. The primary response may take a week or more to develop fully and establish memory. The secondary response is rapid and relies on the activation of clones of memory cells. Would it not be better if clones of reactive cells were maintained regardless of prior exposure? In this way, the body could always respond rapidly to any antigen exposure. Would there be any disadvantages to this approach? Why?arrow_forwardApproximately 70% of the body’s immune system cells are located in or near the wall of the lower intestinal tract (intestines). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?arrow_forward
