Respond to the following:
Acquired immune responses are capable of controlling an
infection, however, the acquired immune response is controlled
itself through different mechanisms. It is primarily activated by a
threshold level of antigen that is produced through the defensive
action of the innate immune system. Pathogens and antigens interact
and cause dendritic cells to activate to become antigen-presenting
cells. Then, the antigens are transported to the lymphoid organs by
the antigen-presenting cells. After several days, antigen-specific
T cells and...
1. A deficiency in what hormone could cause our immune system to
weaken
2. What would be a major symptom if a person had a decrease in
ADH production?
3. What part of the adrenal gland is controlled by the autonomic
nervous system (a) and what part is controlled by the presence of
other hormones (b)

Discuss the immune response to an extracellular
bacterial pathogen. Include the branch(es) of the immune system
which would mount the response, how that response would be mounted,
and the major effector functions that would be observed. While you
should include information on the innate immune response to your
chosen pathogen, the bulk of your response should be focused on the
adaptive immune response.
I'm looking for a 1-2 pages response, but anything will
help, thanks!
