Describe the cell-surface events leading to neutrphil movement to site of infection.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Neutrophils help fight infections because they ingest microorganisms and secrete enzymes that destroy them. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte and a type of phagocyte.

Explanation:

Neutrophils display adhesion glycoproteins on their surface to bind endothelial and subendothelial structures. They move randomly until they find a damaged site. Unless neutrophils are activated, endothelial cells do not tend to adhere. When inflammation mediators (IL-1, FNT) activate endothelial cells, they express P-selectin and E-selectin on the surface. The expression of glycoproteins and L-selectin cause the initial adhesion of the non-stimulated neutrophil to the activated endothelium, slowing it down by rolling it over the endothelium. Activated endothelial cells, opsonized particles, immune complexes, FEC-G, FEC-GM and chemoattractants produce factors that stimulate neutrophil activation. Expressing β2 integrin (endothelium adhesion molecule) Neutrophils expand and form pseudopods. Neutrophil activation also promotes degranulation, superoxide generation, and arachidonate metabolite production.

Inga [223]

Complete question:

In the 1890s, Northern elephant seals were hunted almost to extinction. An unknown population of less than one hundred animals managed to survive on the tiny island of Guadalupe off of Mexico. The current population of over 100,000 is thought to be derived from that tiny remnant population. Compared to the Southern elephant seals (which did not experience such a bottleneck), the Northern elephant seals likely have -------- (Lower - Higher) genetic diversity and -------- (Lower - Higher) levels of genetic diseases.

Answer:

In the 1890s, Northern elephant seals were hunted almost to extinction. An unknown population of less than one hundred animals managed to survive on the tiny island of Guadalupe off of Mexico. The current population of over 100,000 is thought to be derived from that tiny remnant population. Compared to the Southern elephant seals (which did not experience such a bottleneck), the Northern elephant seals likely have Lower genetic diversity and Higher levels of genetic diseases.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change that occurs in the allelic frequency of a population through generations. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time. Eventually, some alleles get lost, while some others might set. Genetic drift affects a population and reduces its size dramatically due to a disaster or pressure-bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-.

In the exposed example, extensive hunting acted as a pressure that reduced the number of Northern elephant seals to fewer than 100. This population experienced one or many generations of small size since these animals were affected by hunting. As the survivors did not have the whole genetic pool of the original population,  the population size might have recovered to a current population size of 1000,000 individuals, but <u>the genetic pool might have not</u>. When the small population increases in size, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, there is a<u> reduced genetic variability</u>, with a possibility of developing a peculiar allelic component. If the survivors in the population carried or developed a mutation, probably this mutation passed from generation to generation. It will involve more individuals each time and<u> increase the probability of developing a genetic disease</u>.
