Questions and Answers

What role do macrophages and neutrophils play in innate immunity?

They identify and engulf invading pathogens. (correct)

They generate fever to inhibit pathogen growth.

They produce antibodies to target specific pathogens.

They act as physical barriers to prevent microbial entry.

How does inflammation contribute to innate immunity?

By increasing physical barriers against pathogen entry.

By causing systemic vasodilation to lower blood pressure.

By promoting the production of antibodies.

By causing redness, heat, and swelling to isolate harmful agents. (correct)

Study Notes

Innate Immunity Overview

Innate immunity is the body's initial defense against infections.
Physical barriers (skin, mucous membranes) prevent pathogen entry.
Chemical barriers (stomach acid, saliva enzymes) destroy pathogens.
White blood cells (macrophages, neutrophils) identify and engulf invaders.
Inflammation (redness, heat, swelling) isolates and eliminates pathogens.
Fever inhibits pathogen growth.
Complement system proteins kill bacteria.
Innate immunity is non-specific, targeting all pathogens.
Response time is fast (minutes to hours).
Innate immunity protects against daily threats and responds immediately.
