What is the most common cause of Down syndrome?
a. Paternal nondisjunction
b. Maternal translocations
c. Maternal nondisjunction
d. Paternal translocation
C
What does activation of the classical pathway begin with? a. Viruses
b. Antigen-antibody complexes c. Mast cells
d. Macrophages
B.
Activation of the classical pathway begins only with the activation of protein C1
and is preceded by the formation of a complex between an antigen and an
antibody to form an antigen-antibody complex (immune complex). Infection with
a virus can lead to the start of the inflammatory process, but is not the specific
activation factor. Mast cells release the contents of their granules to initiate
synthesis of other mediators of inflammation among other actions. Macrophages
are one cell type involved in phagocytosis.
In the coagulation (clotting) cascade, the intrinsic and the extrinsic pathways
converge at which factor?
