Which of the following are considered the "first responders" of the innate immune system? - Accurate
answers Neutrophils.
Type I (Mechanism, Example, Pathology) - Accurate answers IgE action on mast cells Hay fever
Mast cell degranulation results in an inflammatory response
Type II (Mechanism, Example, Pathology) - Accurate answers Tissue-specific destruction or
impairment because of:

,Type III (Mechanism, Example, Pathology) - Accurate answers Antigen-Antibody complex deposited
in tissues Raynaud's phenomenon Complex deposited in small peripheral vessels in cool temperatures
leading to vasoconstriction and blocked circulation
