What are the nonspecific ascending pathways?
The nonspecific ascending pathways are neural pathways that carry sensory information related to pain, temperature, and crude touch. These pathways are not as precise in their localization of sensory input compared to specific ascending pathways. Examples include the spinothalamic tract and spinoreticular tract.
2 type of endocytosis?
The 2 types of endocytosis are pinocytosis("cell drinking) in which liquids are taken up by the cell and then there is phagocytosis (cell-eating) in which the cell engulfs certain substances.
Diagnosis 793.1 means what?
Diagnosis code 793.1 refers to "nonspecific (abnormal) findings on radiological and other examination of body structure." It is not specific to any particular condition or disease, and further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the abnormal findings.
What includes phagocytosis pinocytosis and a receptor mediated form?
Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf large particles or pathogens, pinocytosis is the engulfing of fluids or small particles, and receptor-mediated endocytosis involves the uptake of specific molecules bound to receptors on the cell surface.
Is cilia a specific defense against infection?
No its nonspecific. The cillia wave to move mucous up the airways creating what is known as the mucocilliary escalator which pushes pathogens and debrie up to the pharynx where it is then swallowed from and ends up in the stomach where it is destroyed. As this is the case for all pathogens and not any particular one it is nonspecific. Specific defenses are things like the actios of antibodies and lymphocytes.
Why is phagocytosis non specific?
Phagocytosis is nonspecific because it does not rely on specific recognition of pathogens. Instead, phagocytes engulf and destroy a wide range of particles and microorganisms through the process of endocytosis. This allows the immune system to respond quickly to a variety of threats without needing to recognize each one individually.
What is the opposite of nonspecific?
Specific!
What means invertebrates have only nonspecific immunity which?
Invertebrates possess only nonspecific immunity, meaning they rely on general defense mechanisms rather than specialized responses to specific pathogens. Their immune responses include physical barriers, such as exoskeletons, and cellular responses like phagocytosis, but they lack adaptive immune systems that characterize vertebrates. This nonspecific immunity allows them to respond rapidly to a wide range of threats, but it does not provide long-lasting protection against specific pathogens.
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 :)
How do you enhance phagocytosis?
Abstract. These studies compared the ability of specific secretory IgA (sIgA) and IgG antibodies to promote phagocytosis of viable pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Is skin specific or nonspecific?
Yes, the skin is the most important nonspecific defense. This is because your oil and sweat glands are acidic.
What is nonspecific therapy?
Nonspecific back pain would be back pain with an unknown cause. Therefore nonspecific therapy would be either therapy of an unknown nature (ha ha) or therapy not specific to the illness/injury only. Like psychotherapy for back pain -- you could call that nonspecific therapy.
Why is the action of phagocytes considered a nonspecific response?
It is not involved with the production of any specific type of lymphocyte
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.
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate where?
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate in the thalamus. From there, the thalamus sends projections to the somatosensory cortex for further processing of sensory information.
