White blood cells and Defense actions
Inflammatory Response
Lysozyme Antibodies Question 8.
Based on the indicators, analyze the following illustration. Write your inference in the science diary.
Answer:
The cells that get damaged by a wound or an infection produce certain chemical substances. These substances dilate the blood vessel thereby increasing the blood flow. Blood plasma and white blood cells reach the wound site. This is the reason for the swelling of the wound site. This defense mechanism is known as inflammatory response.
Question 9.
What is the advantage of the dilation of blood vessels at the wound site?
Answer:
The cells that get damaged by a wound or an infection produce certain chemical substances. These substances dilate the blood vessels thereby increasing the blood flow.
Label the Specializations of the Plasma Membrane Question 10.
Is inflammatory response a defense activity? Why?
Answer:
Inflammatory response is a defense activity. Inflammation formed in the body due to the changes in the wall of blood capillaries in a part of the body that affected a wound. When germs enter through – the wound, changes occur in the capillary wall of that part. It leads to inflammation. Flow of blood through these capillaries increases and as a result more leucocytes come out from the capillaries and destroy the germs by engulfing them. The affected parts swell and become red-colored due to the arrival of more blood at the affected part of the capillaries.
Question 11.
Prepare the flowchart which showing the stages of inflammatory response.
Answer:
Germs enter through wound → Produces chemical messages → Blood vessels dilate → White blood cells from the blood vessel reach the wound site → White blood cells destroy the germs.
Phagocytosis
Phagocytosis is the process of engulfing and destroying germs. The cells engaged in this process are called phagocytes. (Phago – to engulf, cyte – cell) Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytes.
Question 12.
Stages of phagocytosis
Answer:
Question 13.
Complete the flow chart by analyzing illustration showing the stages of phagocytosis.
Answer:
Blood Clotting
Blood clotting is a defense mechanism to prevent the loss of blood through wounds. In this process fibrin, the plasma protein forms a fibrous network. Blood cells get entangled in the network to form a blood clot.
Question 14.
Analyze the following illustration that details the stages of blood clotting
Answer:
When a person gets a cut or wound the blood that flows out from the wound changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a clot which plays the wound and prevents further bleeding.
When the platelets come into contact with the atmospheric air, they burst and liberate thromboplastin. It converts prothrombin in the plasma to thrombin. This thrombin converts soluble fibrinogen molecules into insoluble fibrin. This fibrin filament form-fine network over the wound and trap blood corpuscles and platelets to form a clot. The clot seals the wounds and stops bleeding.
Healing Of Wounds
Healing of the wound is a stage after inflammatory response and blood clotting. When wound occurs new tissues are formed in place of the tissues damaged by the wound. In such situations, the wound scar does not remain. In cases when new tissues cannot be formed, the connective tissue heals the wound. In such situations, the wound scar remains.
Question 15.
In some situations, the wound scar remains. Why?
Answer:
When wound occurs, new tissues cannot be formed, then connective tissues heal the wound. In such situations, the wound scar remains.
Fever, A Defense Mechanism
Question 16.
The normal body temperature is 37°c (98.6°F). Body temperature rises during fever. Is it a disease or a symptom. Analyze the flowchart given and write your inferences in the science diary.
Answer:
Fever is not a disease. But it is a type of resistance activity. Though the body can control the multiplication of germs through mechanism like raising body temperature. The chemical substances produced by the white blood cells raises the body temperature. If the rise in body temperature persists for a long time, it may badly affect the internal organs including the brain. Hence it is necessary to seek medical assistance immediately.
Question 17.
Fever is the rise in the body temperature. Is it beneficial to the body?
Answer:
Our normal body temperature is 36.9°c. This temperature is suitable for the multiplication of germs. When infection occurs body rises the temperature through fever to reduce the capacity of multiplication of them.
Lymphocytes – The Warrior
Specific defense is the system which identifies and destroys pathogens. White blood cells known as lymphocytes are capable of destroying the pathogens in this way. Lymphocytes are of two types namely B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. B lymphocytes mature in them bone marrow. T lymphocytes mature in the thymus gland.
B – Lymphocytes
B lymphocytes produce certain chemical substances to act against antigens. The chemical substances which act against antigens are called antibodies.
Antibodies destroy the pathogens in three different ways
- Destroy the bacteria by disintegrating their cell membrane.
- Neutralize the toxin of the antigens.
- Destroy the pathogens by stimulating other white blood cells.
T – Lymphocytes
T lymphocytes stimulate other defense cells of the body. Moreover, these cells are capable of destroying cancer cells and cells affected by virus.
Question 18.
Complete illustration showing the defense mechanisms of blood.
Answer:
- Inflammatory response
- Phagocytosis
- Blood clotting
Lymph And Defense
The lymph formed from the blood and reabsorbed into blood has a prominent role in defense mechanisms, lymph contains plenty of lymphocytes. They destroy the disease-causing bacteria in lymph nodes and spleen.
Immunization
Defense mechanisms become slow when germs enter the body. This causes the spread and multiplication of germs. Immunization is the artificial method to make the defense cells alert against the attack of pathogens.
Question 19.
What are vaccines?
The substances used for synthesizing antibodies are called vaccines.
Question 20.
Which components of vaccine act as antigens?
Answer:
The components from alive or dead or neutralized germs neutralized toxins or cellular parts of the pathogens will be the component of each vaccine.
Question 21.
How do vaccines induce immunity?
Answer:
In induced immunity antibodies which can act against pathogens or toxins produced by them are synthesized in the body itself. The body prepares antibodies to act against these foreign bodies.

Antibodies
The scientist Alexander Fleming, who first synthesized antibiotics in 1928. Antibiotics are used to resist bacterial diseases.
Question 26.
Antibiotics are very helpful but use of it should be with great care. Why?
Answer:
- Regular use develops immunity in pathogens against antibiotics
- Destroys useful bacteria in the body.
- Reduces the quantity of some vitamins in the body.
- Some of them cause allergy, problems to stomach, bones, and kidneys.
Question 27.
Is it proper to use antibiotics without recommendation by a doctor? Why? Discuss. Write your inferences in the science diary.
Answer:
No. Though antibiotics are effective medicines, their regular use brings many side effects. Therefore use medicines only by the instruction of the doctor. Doctors prescribe medicine by considering the dose, method of use, period of use, age of the patient, etc. indiscriminate use of them causes health problems. Regular use develops immunity in pathogens against antibiotics, destroys useful bacteria in the body and reduces the quantity of some vitamins. So self-treatment without the instruction of the doctor is not good.
First Aid
Question 28.
Observe figures A, B and C and identify the instance in which the following type of first aid is given.
Answer:
- A – Breathing has stopped but heartbeat has not as in drowning electric shock, choking gas, suffocation, etc.
- B – Bone and ligament injuries; and fractures
- C – Choking occurs when an object swallowing
Blood Transfusion
The transfer of blood from one person to another is called blood transfusion. Certain instances such as blood is lost excessively in accidents, affected with diseases like blood cancer and surgical operations require blood transfusion.
Different Types of Blood Group
A, B, AB, O are the main blood groups. Carl Landsteiner proposed blood grouping on the basis of the presence or absence of A, B antigens seen on the surface of the red blood cells. The blood group in which Rh factor is present are positive blood groups and those without Rh factor are negative blood groups.
Question 29.
Can a patient receive blood from any person?
Answer:
No. Blood of certain persons cannot be received by others. The antigen present in the received blood and antibody in the recipient’s blood will react each other to form blood clot.
Question 30.

Question 3.
What is the basis of grouping blood Into different types? Everybody cannot receive blood of all groups. Why?
Answer:
The basis of blood grouping is the presence of antigen seen on the surface of the red blood cells. When an antigen reaches one s blood, it stimulates defense activity to produce antibody. The antigen and antibody react each other and form a blood clot. Hence everyone cannot receive blood from aH blood groups.
