Why is there blood in his urine? : Due to swelling/inflammation of testes, the plasma fluid must be released to relieve pressure which is done via the vas deferens then to the urethra Why is there shortness of breath? : He's in emotional stress due to the severe scrotal pain Why is there severe scrotal pain? : The kinin system activates proteins that assist with inflammatory response. A major kinin is bradykinin which causes increased permeability and acts with other compounds to pro...

KUBY IMMUNOLOGY- CHAPTER 2 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS These are specialized sites in the gut and other mucosal tissues that coordinate the encounter of antigen with antigen-specific lymphocytes and their development into effector and memory cells. ex. spleen, lymph nodes - Answer - secondary lymphoid organs These organs (thymus and bone marrow) regulate the development of immune cells from immature precursors. - Answer - primary lymphoid organs It gives rise to all functionally speci...

WGU D236 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FINAL EXAM 2 VERSIONS WITH 100% CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERSION 1 Explain Starling's Law of Capillary Forces and how it causes edema. - Starling's hypothesis states that the fluid movement due to filtration across the wall of a capillary is dependent on the balance between the hydrostatic pressure gradient and the pressure gradient across the capillary. This causes edema by the retention of water in the tissues instead of vascular system. Why is it...

Define and describe the physical, chemical, and cellular components of the innate immune response. - Physical factors are barriers to entry or processes that remove microbes from the body's surface The epidermis consists of layers of tightly packed epithelial cells that are periodically shed. (makes up dust) That it is dry makes it inhospitable to microbes.
