During replication of the viral genome, distinct classes of nucleic acids are produced that are different than those normally present in an uninfected cell. Many of these are recognized as PAMPs. What are the unique features of foreign nucleic acids that are recognized by innate receptors? Identify and describe one of these receptors, its cognate nucleic acid ligand, and the general mechanism by which it alters gene expression.

The endocrine system is a powerful system because it controls the hormones. Hormones circulate in the blood stream and control various parts of the human body. If a person has an abnormal hormone level, how can we find out that there levels are abnormal besides looking at their appearance? If a woman only produces a minimal amount of oxytocin, how can this affect her during childbirth? Also indicate where oxytocin is made and what part of the body releases oxytocin into the blood stream. What other options does the doctor have in order to successfully deliver this baby?
