Summary Introduction
To explain:
The activities of innate defense system and the events that are happening to the skin.
Introduction:
The new kitten of individual scratches her roommate and the skin is turning red, warm and sore on touch. The roommate thought she contracted some fatal infection, but the individual is discussing the activities of the innate system with her. Innate defense or non-specific defense provides general response towards the pathogen. Its mechanism includes inflammatory responses that play an important role by providing defense against pathogens.

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.
An experimental animal is given a drug that blocks phagocytosis. Will this drug prevent the animal’s immune system from killing foreign cells via the complement system?

- What is the role of dendritic cells in the innate immune system?arrow_forwardYou are a bacterium which entered the skin through a small cut. Which innate immune defenses might come after you. If you escape the innate defenses, how might the adaptive immune system get you?arrow_forwardOne mechanism by which anti-inflammatory medications like steroids work is by decreasing mast cell survival. Given what we learned about the inflammatory process, explain in detail how you think this type of steroid would work to block the process of inflammationarrow_forward
- Choose which among the following is the correct sequence of the three lines of defense against pathogens? A.barriers that exclude pathogens → adaptive immunity → innate immunity B.barriers that exclude pathogens → innate immunity → adaptive immunity C.adaptive immunity → barriers that exclude pathogens → innate immunity D.innate immunity → adaptive immunity → barriers that exclude pathogensarrow_forwardWhy is innate immunity referred to as nonspecific? because it is a form of defense found in all animal species because it provides defense against a wide range of pathogens because it is a form of defense that functions in all human body systems because it provides a built-in mechanism of defense that does not require "training"arrow_forwardThe difference between innate immunity and adaptive immunity is that adaptive immunity attacks pathogens; innate immunity attacks microbes. innate immunity is fast and generalized; adaptive immunity is slow and specific. adaptive immunity releases cytokines; innate immunity produces antibodies. innate immunity targets cancers and transplants; adaptive immunity targets viruses and bacteria.arrow_forward
