Could the adaptive immune system operate without the innate immune system? Give at least 2 examples to support your answer.
If you had to choose between losing function of your B or T cells, which would you choose and why?
Bacteriology:
1. Adaptive immunity occurs when..
A) death results from pathogen infection.
B) the innate immune response is overly effective.
C) a broad, rapid response is needed to a wide range of
pathogens from the body regardless of the specific type of
pathogen.
D) the innate immune response fails to eliminate pathogens in
the body and virulent infections persist after the initial innate
defense response.
2. Stem cells are produced and developed in the..
A) bone marrow.
B) brain.
C)...
Is there any overlap between the Innate and Adaptive Immune
Systems? Are there any Immune system components that play a role in
both Innate and Adaptive?
1. Based on your understanding of the innate immune
system list 3 broad categories (and AT LEAST ONE specific example
in each category) that constitute the first line of defense
mechanisms by the innate immune system. (Give an approximate time
line for this type of defense)
2. If this defense system is breached describe the
process that follows (second line of innate defense). Explain how
pathogens are detected and dealt with at this time with specific
pathogen groups in mind,...
There are two
"arms" of the immune system, Innate (non-specific) and Adpative
(acquired).
What are the advantages of a cell-mediated immune response?
Recall the steps involved in phagocytosis. Now, speculate on the
consequenses if an organism had the ability to evade phagocytosis.
Be specific as to the effects on adaptive immune response.
