31
Q

What is the Innate response?

A

immunity that is present; pre-set receptor on white blood cells against pathogens

32
Q

What is the adaptive response?

A

develops after exposure to agents; specific response to pathogens

33

30

35
Q

Histamine

A

triggers blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable

39
Q

Can you describe the 3 parts to an inflammatory response?

A
  1. Histamines & cytokines released. Capillaries dilate
  2. Antimicrobial peptides enter tissue. Neutrophils are recruited.
  3. Neutrophils
    digest pathogens/cell debris.
    Tissue heals.
