Answer:
a. a set of proteins involved in innate but not acquired immunity.
Explanation:
The complement system are a set of proteins or protein fragments that play a major role in the innate immune system. The complement system is involved in the defense of the body from foreign pathogen through specific plasma proteins that participate in leukocyte activation, chemotaxis and opsonization. In other words, they increase the ability of phagocytes and antibodies to mop up damaged cells and foreign microorganism, activate inflammation process.
Some of these proteins include complement component 3 (C3), complement component 9 (C9) and C1Q complex.
The ability of organisms to regulate and thus maintain a relatively stable internal environment, despite external pressures, is called HOMEOSTASIS. This word comes from two Latin/Greek root words: "homeo" and "stasis".
"Homeo" means constant or unchanging. And "stasis" or "static" refers to stillness, non-movement. So, together, we can translate Homeostasis into a constant stillness inside, which makes sense for "maintaining normal internal states."
The principle of ruling in critical thinking that this reminds us to consider is the ruling principle. Critical thinking is the objective analysis of facts to form a judgement. Based on Ruling out Rival Hypotheses; findings consistent with several hypotheses require additional research to eliminate these hypotheses.
