There are choices for this question namely:

a) Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic.
b) Decadron is an antibiotic.
c) Bactrim is a bronchodilator.
d) Albuterol is a bronchodilator.
<span>e) Prednisone is a corticosteroid.
</span>
The correct answers are "ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic", "albuterol is a bronchodilator", and "prednisone is a corticosteroid". Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic in the class of fluoroquinolones, effective against respiratory infections since patients with COPD has mucus hypersecretion which predisposes the patient to respiratory infections. Other antibiotics include respiratory fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, cephalosporins such as cefuroxime and ceftriaxone, and beta-lactams such as co-amoxiclav. Albuterol is a short acting beta-agonist (SABA) which actions as a bronchodilator by relaxing bronchial smooth muscles. Other popular SABA is salbutamol. Prednisone is a corticosteroid which actions to prevent inflammation by blocking the arachidonic acid pathway and therefore block the formation of inflammatory mediators. 

Decadron is dexamethasone which is a steroid. Bactrim is TMP/SMX which is an antibiotic.

What are the body’s three defenses? How do they differ from each other.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

- Physical and chemical barriers

- non-specific innate responses

- specific adaptive responses

<u>The differences are...</u>

The first barrier is the physical and chemical barrier. It is the first line of defense when in contact with outside sources, this can be through the skin, earwax, nose-hair, etc.

The second barrier, the non-specific innate response, is after these outside sources have somehow managed to pass through the first barrier. They come into contact with cells and enzymes that help to defeat them.

The third barrier, the specific adaptive response, is the body's way of dealing with pathogens that the body has encountered before. (B cells activate)
