Describe how your body responds to ANSWER T cells produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells. B
an infection. cells produce antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital ANSWER Mutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities
abnormalities.
How does development disrupts congenital ANSWER Alterations of DNA
abnormalities?
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis ANSWER (ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or

kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water lost in
urine and blood pressure maintained.
