Q

Why do we get a fever if there’s an infection?

A

Gram negative is ingested by a macrophage upon ingestion > macrophage will release interleukin 1 > will circulate throughout the body > go to hypothalamus (main terminal organ of the body and control center) > is stimulated to release prostaglandin > resets the body’s thermostat to increase body temp
