Question

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)(05.05 MC)How does the human immune system initially respond to a pathogen?

Answer 1

Immediately, the pathogen has been recognized:

Macrophages acts as the first line of defence by engulfing pathogens identified by antigens which will now present the antibody shape to a helper T cell.

The Helper T cells produce a signal to plasma and Memory B cells to yield antibodies that attach to the antigens. The cytotoxic cells that leads to cell death are activated by the helper T cells.

Antibodies helps to immobilize pathogen for macrophage to feed on.

if the pathogen comes back a 2nd time the memory cells helps in quick and efficient recovery by producing the specific B and T cells for the antigen.
