Defense mechanisms like humor and substitution might best be described as?
ages specific
Specific resistance of a pure germanium?
60 ohm-m?
What is the specific gravity of a product that can float?
It needs to be less than the medium in which you float it. Numbers can only be assigned if you specify the conditions and substances.
What are two reasons why density is a useful property for identifying substances?
Density is specific for each substance. Also the measurement is generally simple.
Definition of cosmic engine?
The cosmic engine is an astronomical clock built by Sung Su in 1086. It uses special mechanisms and dials to give specific astronomical information, such as positions of the sun, moon and stars.
Are non specific defence mechanisms more effective than specific defense mechanisms if so why?
Non specific defense mechanisms are more effective because they work against all bacteria and viruses. Examples are skin or tears. Specific defense mechanisms like antibodies work against one type of bacteria or virus. They're needed if a pathogen gets past the nonspecific defense mechanisms.
What is the opposite of nonspecific?
Specific!
What is the antonym of the word specific?
Nonspecific.
What are the nonspecific in the immune system?
The body is made up of a specific defense system and nonspecific defense system. The nonspecific defense system is made up of inflammation, fevers, etc. The immune system is part of the specific defense system. This is because the lysosomes in this system bind to specific antigens and have a certain role to carry out. Therefore, there aren't nonspecific defenses in the immune system.
Humans and other vertebrates have both specific and nonspecific immunity while invertebrates have only?
non specific :)
What is one non-specific barrier to infection in humans?
The body is made up of a specific defense system and nonspecific defense system. The nonspecific defense system is made up of inflammation, fevers, etc. The immune system is part of the specific defense system. This is because the lysosomes in this system bind to specific antigens and have a certain role to carry out. Therefore, there aren't nonspecific defenses in the immune system.
The process of phagocytosis is an integral part of both specific and nonspecific immune defense activities?
False
Why is the action of phagocytes considered a nonspecific response?
It is not involved with the production of any specific type of lymphocyte
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate where?
Thalamus.
Why do conditions that cause destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes cause malfunctioning of both specific and nonspecific immune responses?
The destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes is a cell injury. Both of these lymphocytes are needed to activate the specific and nonspecific immune responses.
What are the three important accomplishments of the inflammatory response?
1)external barriers 2)nonspecific responses 3)specific responses
Is skin specific or nonspecific?
Yes, the skin is the most important nonspecific defense. This is because your oil and sweat glands are acidic.
