17.

A= Pneumonia, B= Rhinoviruses, C= Malaria
D= Chronic inflammation and deformity of limbs and genital organs.

18.    Humoral immunity or Antibody mediated immunity (AMI) is the immune response mediated by antibodies.

Cell mediated immunity (CMI) is the immune response mediated by T-lymphocytes. By this, the body can differentiate ‘self’ and ‘non-self’.

19.    (a) An antibody molecule
        (b) X= Antigen binding site.
               Y= Light chain, Z= Heavy chain.

20.    
  • Make blood (from blood banks) safe from HIV.
  • Use disposable needles and syringes.
  • Advocate safe sex and free distribution of condoms.
  • Control drug abuse.
21.    Yes. In most cases, HIV Infection occurs due to the following conscious activities:
  • Sexual contact with infected person.
  • Sharing of infected needles.
22.
  • Cancer cells are proliferating cells that grow rapidly, invade and damage the surrounding normal tissues.
  • They have no contact inhibition.
  • They starve normal cells by competing for nutrients.
  • They move via blood and reach other sites forming a new tumour. This is called metastasis.
23.    Morphine can be ‘used’ as a sedative & painkiller and in surgery. But it is ‘abused’ for intoxication of the body that lead to drug addiction.

24.    A= Opioids, B= Opium, Heroin etc.

C= Gastric HCl, saliva, tear etc.
D= Phagocytosis.
E= Cytokine barriers.
F= Interferons.

29.    a. Active immunity is the immunity in which antibodies are produced in host body when the host is exposed to antigens.
    In Passive immunity, readymade antibodies are directly given to the body.

b. Antibodies (IgA) in colostrum → infants.
    Anti-tetanus serum (ATS).
30.    a. Yes. Modern-day life style and protected environment provided early in life result in low immunity and more sensitivity to allergens.
b. Mites in dust, pollens, animal dander, fur etc.
c. Anti-histamine, adrenaline and steroids.

31.    a. Anti-retroviral drugs are partially effective. They can only prolong the life of the patient.

b. HIV enters body → To macrophages → RNA genome replicates in presence of Reverse transcriptase to form viral DNA → Viral DNA incorporates into host DNA → Infected cells produce virus particles → HIV enters into helper T-cells → Replicates & produce progeny viruses → Attack other TH cells → TH cells decrease → Weaken immunity.

32.    a. Physical agents: E.g. radiations.
Chemical agents: Tobacco smoke, vinyl chloride etc.
Biological agents: E.g. oncogenic viruses, c-onc gene.
b. Biopsy, imaging techniques, Molecular biology techniques etc.
