What are the three important accomplishments of the inflammatory response?
Elimination of pathogens: Inflammation helps the body combat infection by recruiting immune cells to target and destroy pathogens. Tissue repair: Once the infection is controlled, the inflammatory response facilitates tissue repair and regeneration. Immunological memory: The inflammatory response helps establish immunological memory, leading to faster and more effective responses upon re-exposure to the same pathogen.
Is rheumatoid arthritis a disorder that is caused by insufficient immunological response to pathogens?
No Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that results in the immune system mistakenly attacking (among other tissues of the body) cartilage in the synovial joints. This leads to further destructive chemicals being created which in turn destroys further tissue in an around the joints. there is arthritis that has a connection with infection and RA may have some reaction there however RA is not seen as being the result of any pathogen.
How does your body respond differently the second time it is exsposed to a pathogen than the first time it was exposed to the same pathogen?
During the second exposure to a pathogen, the immune system can mount a quicker and more targeted response due to immunological memory. This is because the immune system has already encountered the pathogen before and has memory cells ready to recognize and respond more efficiently to the pathogen. This results in a faster and more effective clearance of the pathogen from the body.
What is a general term describing protective responses effective against any pathogen?
Nonspecific Defenses
What is the chain of infection of anorexia?
There is no chain of infection for anorexia, as it is not caused by a pathogen. Anorexia Nervosa is a mental disorder.
What happens when a pathogen enters in our body second and subsequent times?
During subsequent exposures to the same pathogen, the immune system is able to respond rapidly and activity reaches higher levels. The secondary immune responses can usually prevent disease, because the pathogen is detected, attacked and destroyed before symptoms appear.
How does injecting an inactive form of pathogen make a person immune?
the inactive form still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on the surface. the immune system develops specific responses to this pathogen when it is encountered after a vaccination. as it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
What pathogen is anorexia?
Anorexia is not caused by a pathogen. It is a complex mental health disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. Psychological, genetic, environmental, and cultural factors can all contribute to the development of anorexia.
How do vaccines prevent diseases?
1) Antibodies bind to the pathogen to prevent them from entering or damaging cells 2) Antibodies coat the pathogen stimulating the removal of pathogen by macrophages and other cells 3) They trigger destruction of pathogens by stimulating other immune responses such as complement pathway
A given pathogen will provoke either a cell-mediated response or an antibody-mediated response but not both?
This statement is not accurate. Pathogens can provoke both cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses at the same time. The type of immune response generated depends on the specific characteristics of the pathogen and the immune system of the host.
What type of pathogen is anorexia?
It's not actually a virus or bacteria, it's a mental disorder. So it can't be spread! Yay ^^
What makes a pathogen a true pathogen?
The dimention
