UNIT 14 The Genetics of Immunity Most human beings survive the effects of constant exposure to pathogenic (disease causing) organisms or viruses, parasites, and environmental insults largely because people are protected by both nonspecific and specific defence mechanisms. Physical defence mechanisms provide critical first-line protection against a variety of dangers, but are of relatively little interest from a genetic standpoint. On the other hand, specific defence mechanisms involve an extre...

Immunology is the study of the immune system, which protects the body from infections and diseases. It encompasses understanding how the body distinguishes between its own cells and foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Key components of the immune system includes innate immunity, acquired immunity, antigen, antibodies, types of cells, immune system, MHC molecule, complement system and haptens. Understanding immunology is crucial for developing vaccines, treating autoimmune...

  1 Chapter 1: Cell Adaptation, Injury and Death Ischemia and other toxic injuries increase the accumulation of intracellular calcium as a result 1. of: A) release of stored calcium from the mitochondria. B) improved intracellular volume regulation. C) decreased influx across the cell membrane. D) attraction of calcium to fatty infiltrates. The patient is found to have liver disease, resulting in the removal of a lobe of his liver. 2. Adaptation to the reduced size o...
