Which of the following is NOT involved in the inflammatory response? A. Activation of B cells by cytokines from TH cells. B. Adhesins, which cause phagocytes to adhere to capillary walls. C. Secretion of IL-6, a pyrogen. D. Dilation of capillary walls. E. Secretion of PMNs to the tissues through capillary walls

Option D.

Explanation:

Inflammatory response occurs when there is an injury to body tissues which might be caused by bacteria, trauma or toxins. The affected tissues now secrete chemicals which cause the blood vessels to release fluid thereby causing swellings. The white blood cells secrete chemicals and release into the tissues to protect it from outside pathogens.

Dilation of capillary walls is not involved.

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
