Question

IM GIVING U A WHOLE 50 POINTS PLS SOS ILL REPORT OTHER ANSWERS

1.The immune response requires a team effort. How do the specific and non-specific defenses work together? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER. They help each other defeat the antigen.

2.Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that infects (and destroys) Helper T Cells. As a result, people who are HIV+ generally have a low number of these T Cells. How would a dramatic decrease in Helper T Cells affect a person’s immune response? Be specific using details from what you learned about the immune response.

3.If a doctor wanted to run a blood test to determine whether or not a person was immune to the measles virus, would they need to look for measles antigens or measles antibodies? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

Answer 1

1) the immune system works together like a car, they help each other by using antibodies, white blood cells, the thyroids, tonsils, and even more organs. They help each other defeat foreign invaders (such a parasitic, bacterial, and fungal).

2) HIV decreases the body’s immune system dramatically and is the cause of Helper T Cells that decrease.

3) they would test for the antibodies since those are what are in vaccines, they keep the virus away!!!


Hope this helps!
Good luck!
