(1) Briefly explain the difference between specific and non-specific immunity and give an example of each. (2) Would the blood transfusion be successful if the DONOR blood type is AB+ and RECIPIENT blood type is AB-? Why? (3) Rewrite the following false statement to make it true: "When military personnel are scheduled for duty in Afghanistan, they are injected with the anthrax vaccine which contains anthrax antigens and provides active immunity." (4) Why is it important that the AV (atrioventricular) node produces a slight delay between the contraction of the atria and the contraction of the ventricles? (5) List four delivery functions of the blood (List four things carried throughout the body by the blood).

Step 1
It involves the activation of lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) and the production of antibodies. An example of specific immunity is the immune response to a specific virus, such as the flu virus. Non-specific immunity, also known as innate immunity, is the Show more…

1. Identify the components of blood and describe the function of each component. 2. Beginning with the vena cava, describe the flow of blood through the heart, pulmonary circuit, and systemic circuit. Be sure to include each of the heart chambers and valves. Note when the blood becomes deoxygenated and oxygenated. 3. Describe the structures of the cardiac conduction system and explain how this system functions. 4. Compare and contrast the lymphatic system and immune system. How are these systems different and how do they work together?
