1. How can the action of the stomach be thought of as an immune response?
2. The complement component that is activated by both pathways is:
Homework Answers
1. The action of the stomach be also thought of as an immune response because,
- The acid nature of gastric juices, and certain enzymes destroy many of the unwanted bacteria present in the food.
- Colon bacteria provide immunity aginst a range of harmful bacteria.
- Certain colon bacteria are essential for the absorption of nutrietnts, which otherwise cause decreased immunity.
2. The complement component -3 (C3) is activated by both pathways (classical and alternative complement activation pathways).

What’s the difference between a primary immune response and secondary immune response? Answer both in terms of the physiological responses and in terms of the mechanism by which it is achieved. Adaptive immunity is a response to a specific antigen. How does the adaptive immune system mount a specific response to an invading antigen? How is it possible to mount such a response to a wide array of antigens?

The inflammatory immune response is a concerted effort, involving many components of our immune system, to combat pathogens that invade our bodies through injury or infection. In certain cases, a bacterial infection can induce an overwhelming systemic inflammatory response that can lead to a life-threatening situation known as septic shock. a. Explain the endosymbiotic theory. Provide three forms of evidence in support of the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria. b. What is systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and when is it...
