Any agent that causes an increase in basal body temperature is termed a pyrogen.

Question

Any agent that causes an increase in basal body temperature is termed a pyrogen. The lymph from the right half of the head & neck, right upper limb & pectoral region is drained by the thoracic duct. Natural Passive Immunity results from catching and "bearing" a disease once (direct contact with the causative agent or pathogen). We only ever get "sick" when our immune system doesn't recognize the pathogen-it may take a week or more to figure out who the enemy is; once identified, pathogen is conquered & we feel better. A Primary Immune Response happens quicker and is more vigorous than a Secondary Immune Response. 6 The complement cascade culminates in the formation of MACs that perforate pathogens' membranes. The body's natural inflammatory response is simply the byproduct of trauma or infection and serves no real useful purpose. is the process that "weeds-out" and kills inept and/or overzealous lymphocytes. Antibodies recognizing a foreign body and "binding to it" is known as opsonization and inhibits phagocytosis of the antigen. IgE antibodies are typically responsible for allergic responses-hypersensitivity to a non-lethal substances like pollen, dust, etc. APCs are cells that combine a foreign antigen with MHC protein & present this to other immune cells. The HIV virus specifically targets and destroys Helper T-lymphocytes (T_s cells). function to directly destroy invading pathogens by "poking" holes in their plasma membranes and thereby disrupting ion gradients and allowing granzymes to enter cell and cause death. The term "antigen" was created/invented by contracting and combining the words "antibody-generating" molecules. Autoimmune diseases are thought to be caused by either faulty immunocompetence, exposure to viral antigens that closely resemble self antigens, or the appearance of new self antigens. Which of the following tissues/organs/structures functions in the Lymphatic system? 1. Peyer's patches in Small Intestine 2. Adenoids (large tonsils) 3. Thymus gland 4. Inguinal lymph nodes 5. Thyroid gland 6. Cisterna chyli 1, 2, 4, 5 2, 3, 5, 6 1, 3, 4, 6 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Explanation / Answer

1. Pyrogen induce fever and basal body temperature is body temperature when you are at rest.

So this statement is false

5. Secondary is much effective and faster than primary response.

So this statement is false.

9. Opsonization will enhance phagocytosis of antigen.
So this statement is false.

10. IgE antibodies responsible for allergic reactions.

So this statement is true.

11. APCs are MHC with immune cells.

So this statement is true.

12. HIVs are primarily effective against Th cells.

This statement is true.

14. Antigen derived from Anti(body) + gen

So this statement is true.
