Answer:

The related cell-mediated immune system to the doctor's recommendation is the T-lymphocytes or T-cells

Explanation:

Immunity is defined as the body's ability to protect itself against invading harmful organisms or substances. There are two forms or immune responses by the body, and they include:

1. innate immunity (non-specific immunity): this type of immunity is the one present at birth, they include the skin barriers, phagocytes, mucous membranes, stomach acids (HCl), enzymes etc. This immune response is usually the first line of defense against all invading antigen, hence they are non-speciific.

2. acquired or specific immunity: this type of immune response is specific to an organism or group of organisms of the same species. Acquired immunity are of two types; passive and active

i. passive acquired immunity is gotten as a result of transfer from one organisms that is already immune to another organism. It is a temporal form of acquiring immunity, and it is most commonly gotten through transfer through the placenta, or the transfusion of blood or blood products, where the recipient is protected for weeks or even months.

ii. Active immunity is further divided into antibody- and cell-mediated immunity. In the anti-body mediated immunity, B-lymphocytes manufacture antibodies (chemical immune agents) against antigens and the memory cells store the synthesis pattern, so that for future re-infection, the antibodies are manufactured again.

Now, the second part is the cell-mediated active immunity which is specific to our question. This type of immunity is mediated by T (thymus) lymphocytes or T-cells. T-cells because they originated and grow in the thymus gland. T-cells are further divided into three chief types according to their functions:

a. T-helper cells: this type of T-cells stimulate the activation and activity of other cells to enhance immune response, for example, it stimulates B-cells to produce antibodies or phagocytic macrophages for phagocytosis

b. T-suppressor cells: this helps to down regulate the activities of the immune cells/response, by suppressing its activity. they are beneficial to prevent auto-immune responses, but are detrimental if active in cases of active infection.  

c. T-cytotoxic cells: these cells recognize and destroy infected cells, and also activate phagocytes for phagocytosis or ingested pathogens.

I will recommend that you go and look up pictorial representations of these immune responses and cells, they will help your understanding.

Sally is a clerk for Avco Environmental Services, a small toxic-waste disposal company. The company has a contract to dispose of
lbvjy [14]

1. What ethical pressures are present in this scenario?

In this scenario, Sally faces an ethical dilemma because she is caught between two entities that she really values. On the one hand, Sally values her job and the company, and she does not want to cause them unnecessary damage. On the other hand, Sally cares about the community, and she wants people to be safe. Sally appears to find it difficult to reconcile these concerns. Moreover, regardless of her decision, Sally is likely to damage one of the two entities she cares about.

2. If you could advise Sally about how to manage ethics in this situation, what would you say? Explain.

I would say that Sally should contact the newspaper and make the story public. Sally has already contacted the company, and she gave them a chance to rectify their mistakes. However, they decided not to take responsibility for their actions. This is their decision, and it makes them responsible for whatever punishment they receive. Moreover, Sally knows that this practice is illegal, and as a responsible citizen, she has to follow the law.

3. What potential risks does your recommendation pose if Sally were to follow your advice?

Sally could face many risks because of this decision. The company is likely to know that she is responsible for making the story go public. This could cost Sally her job. Depending on the seriousness of the situation, the company might close permanently, leaving many people unemployed, including Sally herself.

Blood is taken from veins not from arteries. Why?​
frosja888 [35]
Veins are favored over arteries because they have thinner walls, and thus they are easier to pierce. There is also lower blood pressure in veins so that bleeding can be stopped more quickly and easily than with arterial puncture.
