Discuss how the body induces a fever. (Be sure to include the cells and regions of the body involved)
Your Answer:
During an infection, certain subtypes of interleukins called pyrogens reset the body’s thermostat in the hypothalamus. The temperature set-point during homeostasis (normal body temperature) is raised to create a fever.
This is a located response in the tissue, causing increased blood flow, redness, and pain.
Your Answer:
The inflammatory response

What is TRUE concerning the MHC?
These are antibody receptors found on only certain types immune cells.
Plasma cells recognize and destroy invading cells using the MHC.

Abnormal cells display the same MHC as healthy cells
Discuss how cell-mediated immunity defends the body against diseases. Give an example of what type of cell uses this form of immunity in the body.
Your Answer:
• T cells work through cell mediated immunity which locally releases contents such as cytokines or enzymes to kill a pathogen or infected cell.
• (Other examples could include phagocytosis by macrophages, monocytes, or neutrophils by directly engulfing and killing a pathogen)
Question 25

What is graft rejection and why does it occur?
Your Answer:
Graft rejection is the rejection of a transplanted organ by an organ donor. Tissue grafts and organ transplants most often originate from another person's body.
