Q

How does a virus reproduce?

A
  1. The virus attaches to a cell
  2. The virus injects its DNA into the cell
  3. The cell begins to produce viruses
  4. when the cell becomes full of viruses it bursts
  5. The viruses then infect New cells

Q

Steps to inflammatory response activation

A
  1. The tissue is damaged and bacteria enter
  2. Chemical signals and histamines are released by basophil mast cells
  3. Chemical signals lead to increased blood flow, chemotaxis and, vascular permeability
  4. neutrophils and other white blood cells like macrophages migrate to the injury site and remove pathogens by Phagocytosis
  5. macro phages secrete hormones called cytokines that attract immune system cells to the site and activate cells involved into tissue repair
  6. Inflammatory response continues until the foreign material is eliminated and the wound is repaired

Q

Inflammatory response feedback loop

A
  1. White blood cells come to injury site
  2. White blood cells destroy bacteria until bacteria are gone
  3. If bacteria are still present more chemical signals are sent out to attract more white blood cells until no bacteria are left
  4. if some bacteria remain the cycle repeats until all bacteria are gone
