What types of microbes do adaptive immune responses combat?
The adaptive immune system was developed in higher vertebrates to combat pathogens and antigens. These can include viruses, bacteria, and anything else that can cause the immune system to launch an immune response.
What organ system has chemical messangers called enzymes?
digestive and circulatory
Which of the organelle of the eukaryotic cell is called as garbage disposal system?
This organelle is called the lysosome. Filled with digestive enzymes.
Why does the immune system need to destroy pathogen?
The immune system needs to destroy the pathogens. Other wise the pathogens will multiply in the body of host. The pathogens will multiply by geometrical proportion. With in very short time the pathogens will occupy the whole body. You can no longer survive in that case.
How are pathogens expelled from the respiratory system?
Oxygen
What is the role of tears in the immune system?
They have enzymes in them to kill pathogens
What defenses does the digestives system have against pathogens?
The stomach (part of the digestive system) has a low pH (acidic), which kills pathogens.
What types of microbes do adaptive immune responses combat?
The adaptive immune system was developed in higher vertebrates to combat pathogens and antigens. These can include viruses, bacteria, and anything else that can cause the immune system to launch an immune response.
Which body system protects the body againts invasion by pathogens?
The body system that is responsible for fighting pathogens is the lymphatic system. Another important contributor to this mechanism is the immune system, though it is not a system, per se, in terms of a system of the body, because it is made up of a combination of different systems and works to combat foreign invaders, like pathogens and microbes.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
What is the name for the substances that speed up digestion?
Anything, in the digestive system or in other systems, that speed up reactions are called enzymes.
What organ system has chemical messangers called enzymes?
digestive and circulatory
What does pathogens and microbes have in common?
Microbes is a more global term for small living creatures. Some have negative impact on our system when they intrude our body, called pathogens. They interfere with reactions in our body.
What system prevents infection by pathogens?
immune system
Which of the organelle of the eukaryotic cell is called as garbage disposal system?
This organelle is called the lysosome. Filled with digestive enzymes.
What of the human system is on defense against pathogens?
The immune system
How are pathogens expelled from the respiratory system?
Oxygen
