Concept explainers
To determine:
The mechanism of “innate body defense” includes all except:
(a) Complement
(b) Phagocytosis
(c) Antibodies
(d) Lysozyme
(e) Inflammation
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Solution:
(c) Antibodies: Antibodies are also referred to as immunoglobulins and are produced by the B cells. They have a Y-shape structure.
Explanation of Solution
Innate immune response is the nonspecific immunological response that is generated by the body against the pathogens. It comprises of the inflammation process, lysozyme action, phagocytosis process, and the complement activation reaction. In contrast, the antibodies generate a specific immune response. These are formed by the B cells in response to the encounter of the pathogens.
