Which of the following defense mechanisms will participate in eliminating contaminating microbes? lysozyme acidic skin secretions mucociliary escalator normal skin flora phagocytosis in the inflammatory response
In the given question, the person is injured and is bleeding. This injury initiates the inflammatory response, a type of immune response to the injured site.
This inflammatory response recruits the defensive cells flowing in the blood called white blood cells to the injured site.
The white blood cells interact with these foreign bodies and may help eliminate foreign material.
One of the mechanism by this response is the phagocytosis which occurs when the monocyte WBC interact with the pathogen and engulf and degrade it.
Thus, Phagocytosis in the inflammatory response is correct.
Diploid cells are like daughter cells coming from a mother cell called a haploid cell. So the more daughter cells are born, the greater the chance of getting hybrids and creating more diversity on the genetic races existing. In this case, the answer would have to be honeybees.
The center portion of each intervertebral disc is a filled with a gel-like elastic substance. Together with the annulus fibrosis, the nucleus pulposus transmits stress and weight from vertebra to vertebra.
