Question

1. Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus inject insulin directly into the blood stream trather than taking it orally. Explain(2)

2.Which cells in the human ody are responsible for the organisation of the antibody and phagocytic responses? (1)

3. which cells in the immune system produce antibodies?

Answer 1

1. If you take it orally, it will be digestive with the rest of your food. A digested protein does no good to you.

2. Lymphocytes- more specifically the B and the T cells

3. B cells

Answer 2

1. Oral medication must be digested first and then absorbed into the blood. Patients suffering from diabetes usually need to control their blood sugar level immediately to avoid any complications which is why it is injected directly into the body.

2. The B and T helper cells.

3. Antibodies are formed by a biomolecule: glycoprotein (protein and carbohydrate). Aka immunoglobin

Answer 3

1) Insulin is a large globular protein that will be denatured (destroyed) by the stomach acid if taken orally.

2) Leukocytes or white blood cells: Specifically T&B lymphocytes produce antibodies and macrophages such as monocytes, basophils and eosinophils phagocytose pathogens.

3) B lymphocytes

Answer 4

The original question is flawed: Diabetics inject insulin under the skin (subcutaneously), not into the bloodstream. Taking it orally is ineffective.

Answer 5

1. quicker response

2. mast cells

3. white blood cells

Answer 6

acts quicker, anti bodies
