Question

The dead bacteria and pus formation in the wounded region is known as:
A. Inflammatory response
B. Immune response
C. T cell response
D. Phagocytic response

Answer 1

Hint: Pus is a yellowish fluid that is produced because of the response towards the bacteria and infection and therefore the response creates an enlargement in the infected area. It is a natural method employed by the body for protecting the affected surface.

Complete answer: Pus has a texture which is thick, opaque, usually yellowish to brownish in shade, fluid matter formed in association with inflammation caused by the invasion of the body by infective microorganisms (such as bacteria).
It's composed of degenerating leukocytes (white blood cells), tissue debris, and living or dead microorganisms. It is generally protein-rich fluid and builds up thus forming a partial covering on the affected site.

So, the correct answer is option A. Inflammatory response.

Note: Minor infections, especially on the surface of your skin, usually heal on their own without the need for any special treatment. Although in the cases of more serious infections, serious medical treatment, like a drainage tube or antibiotics is needed.
Pus may also be of green color due to the presence of myeloperoxidase, an intensely green antibacterial protein produced by some WBCs.
