Think about a response to all the questions listed below. Pick one and post an initial thread response. Youre required to also post a minimum of two interactive responses (to peers and/or to a follow-up question that I may present). Interactive responses must be to questions different from the question you originally responded to.

Choose one of the following discussion thread topics:

1. Briefly discuss the importance of fever. What are the potential consequences of sustained elevation in body temperature?
2. When considering the signs of inflammation, a fifth sign (loss of function) can be considered as a continuum of the fourth sign of pain. What is the importance of loss of function?
3. Difference between active and passive immunity? Difference between natural and artificial immunity? Use these terms to briefly describe immunity conferred via illness, vaccination, and breastfeeding.
4. Explain how the adaptive immune system can make infection go unnoticed.
5. With respect to ABO blood groups, which blood type is the universal donor and which is the universal recipient? Explain the significance with respect to blood typing and transfusions.
