Chapter 48: Animal Defense Systems: Inflammation And Immunity

This chapter covers in detail the mechanisms of inflammation and the immune system in animals. The theme of molecular interactions as the basis for biological processes reaches its height in the coverage of these topics. Inflammation is presented as a general defense system against injury and invasion. The immune system is a defense system that primarily attacks successful invaders. The basic mechanism of the virus causing AIDS is presented in this chapter, along with information about other immune system problems.
