Which is NOT a characteristic of the adaptive immune system?

Select one:

a. rapid deployment

b. memory

c. The use of immune chemicals

d. The use of immune cells

Answer 1

1. a. increases protein synthesis.

• The phenomenon of protein metabolism is stimulated by growth hormones.
• This causes increased uptake of amino acids
• The protein synthesis increases and oxidation of proteins decreases.

2. d. insulin

• The first line therapy for type II diabetes includes use of metformin
• Insulin and sulfonylureas are second line drugs
• Glitazones are reserved class of drugs.

3. c. T-regulatory cells

• These cells activate, proliferate and promote production of CD4+ cells and CD8+ cells.

4. e. remove glucose from glycogen stores.

• Glycogen is converted to glucose for energy requirements.

5. a. rapid deployment

• This component is not found with immune cells.
