A child receiving an oral vaccine against polio, a disease caused by a virus that infects neurons. Given that the body cannot readily replace most neurons, why is it important that a polio vaccine stimulate not only a cell-mediated response but also a humoral response? Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Limit your answer to 10sentences.
Will has just been diagnosed with melanoma on the anteromedial surface of his thigh. Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, in large part because it tends to spread through the body (metastasize) fairly quickly. To determine if Will’s cancer has metastasized, Will’s doctor takes a sample of tissue from his lymph nodes and looks for the presence of cancer cells. If cancer cells are found in the lymph nodes, Will may have some lymph nodes surgically removed. Will’s doctor warns him that he may experience uncomfortable swelling in his leg if this happens
A) Explain why Will’s doctor is looking at the inguinal lymph nodes first to determine if the melanoma has spread. (A complete answer will include an explanation of why the ymph nodes and why these lymph nodes in particular.)
B) Use what you’ve learned about the lymphatic system to explain why removal of the lymph nodes may cause swelling in Will’s leg.
The disease pemphigus vulgaris involves a patient’s own immune system attacking the desmosomes between the epithelial cells of the skin. What changes would you expect to see with this disease?
