Toll like receptors are low molecular weight proteins made by certain cells as a mechanism to communicate with other cells urface receptors that enable certain cells to "see" molecules that signify the presence of microorganisms or virus Prote None of the above b. S ins that circulate constantly in the blood and the fluid that bathes tissues c. d.

Explanation / Answer

48) Answer: A

The complement system is a part of the immune system that enhances (complements) the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promotes inflammation, and attacks the pathogen's cell membrane.

Activation of the complement cascade results in Inflammation.

48) Answer b

Surface receptors that enable certain cells to see molecule that signify the presence of microorganism or virus

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of proteins that play a key role in the innate immune system.

They are single, membrane-spanning, non-catalytic receptors usually expressed on sentinel cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells, that recognize structurally conserved molecules derived from microbes.
