Question

Kamal had a bacterial infection. He noticed that his body temperature raised. He didn't understand why that happened. Choose the correct sequence of the mechanism of fever to help Kamal.

(A) WBCs produce chemicals that raise body temperature.
(B) Pathogen replication is decreased and phagocytosis is increased.
(C) Pathogens produce toxins.
(D) Toxins trigger WBCs.

• A. A $\to$ C $\to$ D $\to$ B
• B. B $\to$ A $\to$ D $\to$ C
• C. C $\to$ D $\to$ A $\to$ B
• D. C $\to$ D $\to$ B $\to$ A

Answer 1

The correct option is C C $\to$ D $\to$ A $\to$ B

Fever is a defense mechanism. When pathogens enter our body, they produce toxins which are harmful to us. Production of these toxins trigger the white blood cells. These white blood cells produces chemical substances which raises our body temperture. This raise in temperature decreases the multiplication of the pathogens and increases the process of phagocytosis.
