Important Questions from Aids to Health
Which of the following are functions of white blood cells in local defence? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
Engulf bacteria by phagocytosis, Squeeze out of blood capillaries by diapedesis, Destroy harmful microorganisms
WBCs fight germs by engulfing them (phagocytosis), can move out of blood vessels (diapedesis), and destroy microorganisms. Mucus is produced by epithelial cells and HCl by stomach cells.
Which of the following are examples of antiseptics? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
Iodine, Lysol, Carbolic acid
Antiseptics are mild chemical substances that kill germs when applied on the body, and examples given include iodine, lysol, carbolic acid, benzoic acid, mercurochrome, and boric acid. Phenol is listed as a disinfectant, not an antiseptic, because disinfectants are stronger substances used on spots and places where germs thrive. So the correct examples here are iodine, lysol, and carbolic acid.
Antibodies are produced by which cells?
Show answer
Lymphocytes
Antibodies are produced by specialized lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) in response to antigens. These cells concentrate in lymph nodes, spleen, and circulating blood and lymph.
