Flashcard 39: Ig_____ antibodies bind to the bacteria's capsule, resulting in either phagocytosis (Fc receptors) or binding of complement
Answer: G
Extra: IgG antibodies (especially IgG1 and IgG3) are potent opsonins. They bind to bacterial capsules, allowing phagocytes to recognize the Fc portion of the antibody via Fc-gamma receptors (FcγR). Additionally, IgG can activate the classical complement pathway by binding C1q, leading to the deposition of C3b (another opsonin) and the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC).
Flashcard 40: Gastroparesis is caused by dysfunction of the _____ nerve, which leads to impaired peristalsis of food through the stomach
Answer: vagus
