(a)  

8.

vasodilation is when

a)

the capillary gets bigger to increase blood flow

b)

the artery gets wider to increase blood flow.

c)

increased blood flow through capillary

d)

the muscles in the walls of the artery contract

9.

Which of the following is not part of the inflammatory response?

a)

phagocytosis

b)

vasodilation

c)

increased capillary permeability

d)

antibodies

10.

During the inflammatory response, the production of histamine immediately results in;

a)

vasodilation & increased capillary permeability

b)

production of cytokines

c)

phagocytosis of pathogens

d)

accumulation of phagocytes

11.

The following steps occur during the inflammatory response:

1. Blood flow increases.

2. Histamine is released by mast cells.

3. Phagocytes accumulate at the site of infection.

4. Vasodilation occurs and capillary permeability increases.

In which sequence do these steps occur?

a)

2, 1, 4, 3

b)

4, 2, 1, 3

c)

4, 1, 3, 2

d)

2, 4, 1, 3

12.

Cytokines act at the site of infection by

a)

signalling the production of phagocytes

b)

stimulating phagocytes to release antibodies

c)

carrying out phagocytosis to engulf bacteria

d)

causing the accumulation of phagocytes.
