| What are the Non-specific Defenses? | 1. Skin & Mucus Membranes; 2. Phagocytosis; 3. Inflammatory Response; 4. Fever; 5. Interferons
🗑

| What type of defense is provided by Skin and Mucus Membranes? | Physical/Chemical barriers to infection
🗑
|
||||
| What type of defense is provided by Phagocytosis? | Leukocytes (granular & macrophages) throught body organs --> pus
🗑
|
||||
| What is pus? | dead WBC and Bacteria
🗑
|
||||
| What type of defense is provided by Inflammatory Responses? | release of Histamine & Prostaglandins --> Vasodilation/Edema --> slows spread of Infectious Agents --> Improves EXTRAcellular Phagocytosis & enables Antibody diffusion
🗑
|
||||
| What type of defense is provided by Fever? | Interleukin 1 secreted by Macrophages exposed to Pathogenic Bacteria --> denature
🗑
|
||||
| What are Interferons? | Proteins released by Virus infected cells
🗑
|
||||
| How do Interferons protect the body? | enhance activity of NK-cells and stimulate nearby host cells to Synthesize Anti-viral Enzymes

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
