Q
Role of the immune system
A
- kill or control pathogens
- control disease
- Repair tissue damage
- organ development
- maintain organ integrity and function

exotoxins and endotoxin
3
Q
Direct mechs of tissues damage by pathogens
A
- exotoxin production
- endotoxin
- direct cytopathic effect
4
Q
indirect mechs of tissues damage by pathogens
