2. What are the innate defense systems?

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2)Innate, or nonspecific, immunity is the defense system with which you were born. It protects you against all antigens. Innate immunity involves barriers that keep harmful materials from entering your body. These barriers form the first line of defense in the immune response.

3)The first line of defence (or outside defence system) includes physical and chemical barriers that are always ready and prepared to defend the body from infection. These include your skin, tears, mucus, cilia, stomach acid, urine flow, 'friendly' bacteria and white blood cells called neutrophils.

4)The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes (a type of white blood cell).

5)The adaptive defense consists of antibodies and lymphocytes, often called the humoral response and the cell mediated response. The term 'adaptive' refers to the differentiation of self from non-self, and the tailoring of the response to the particular foreign invader.

6)Innate immunity is comprised of different components including physical barriers (tight junctions in the skin, epithelial and mucous membrane surfaces, mucus itself); anatomical barriers; epithelial and phagocytic cell enzymes (i.e., lysozyme), phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages), inflammation- .

8)Types of phagocytes

In humans, and in vertebrates generally, the most-effective phagocytic cells are two kinds of white blood cells: the macrophages (large phagocytic cells) and the neutrophils (a type of granulocyte)

solniwko [45]

Answer:

B. Geosphere

A. Biosphere

A. Atmosphere

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions occurs within the Geosphere. The geosphere is the rock solid earth make up of rocks that extends into the deep interior.

Magma formed deep within the crust rises to elevated parts and finally erupts as lava on the surface. When they cool, they solidify to form volcanic rocks.

The volcanic eruptions affects the biosphere significantly. The biosphere is the portion of the earth where all life forms exists.

Gases and ash spewed during an eruption into the atmosphere causes severe changes to weather and leads to pollution. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

Wewaii [24]
<span>An example of a high energy electromagnetic wave is "X-Ray"

When car runs, it's chemical energy (gasoline) converts into mechanical energy

Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness of the body, so when heat expose to a substance, it's degree of hotness increases & it's temperature increases

Hope this helps!
