Study Notes
Immune Response
- Adaptive immunity is characterized by the production of antibodies.
Inflammation
- Chronic inflammation is associated with scar formation and loss of specialized function.
Cell Function
- Cytotoxic T cells play a role in the specific (adaptive) immune response by recognizing and destroying infected cells.
Humoral Complement System
- C3 is a component of the humoral complement system.
- The main function of the humoral complement system is to help eliminate pathogens from the body.
Cell Involvement
- Neutrophils are NOT directly involved in the humoral complement system.
Immune System
- The second line of defense in the body's immune system is the adaptive immune response.
Innate Immune System
- Interferons are NOT a component of the humoral response in the innate immune system.
Chronic Inflammation
- During chronic inflammation, there is a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response that can lead to tissue damage and disease.
Test your knowledge of natural barriers and inflammation in the context of anatomy and physiology. This quiz covers topics such as the lines of defense, mechanical and chemical barriers, non-specific innate immune system, and adaptive (acquired) immunity.
