Few questions:
1. Is fever always associated with inflammation in VCE Bio?
2. If so/not, can you explain why, please?
3. I know that macrophages release interleukins to stimulate the hypothalamus of the brain to increase the body temperature, in hope to reduce pathogenic metabolism and activity, is there any more information needed for VCE bio about fever?
4. How much do we need to know about mast cells? My textbook only says that they release histamines to a). vasodilate blood vessels allowing an influx of white blood cells to the scene of infection and b). releasing histamines to increase blood vessel permeability to allow certain whiteblood cells to squeeze through and fight off the infection. Do we need to know about what sort of antibodies they exhibit on their surfaces? If so, which antibodies are they?
5. Are mast cells embedded or are they free cells?
6. Do we need to know the different types of antibodies?
7. If antibodies have a y structure and have two antigen-binding sites, can both of these sites bind on two of the same antigens on the same pathogen?
8. How much do we need to know about inflammation, besides that mast cells releasing histamines for specific responses and there will be redness, swelling and pain at the site of infection?
9. Must we know about the lymphatic system including the vessels and direction flow ?
10. If B and T cells are both produced from stem cells in the bone marrow, and B cells mature in the bone marrow whereas T cells migrate to the thymus to mature, where are they kept in storage? Is it both in the spleen and lymph nodes or?
Many thanks.
