Summary Introduction
To determine:
The cause of the signs and symptoms of the disease mononucleosis
Introduction:
Spleen is an organ that is used in the removal of the RBCs that has matured, from the blood and recycles their heme group. It stores the blood cells also, which can be used during a hemorrhage.

In the disease mononucleosis (“mono”), the spleen enlarges because of increased numbers of phagocytes and other cells. Common signs and symptoms of this disease include pale complexion, a tired feeling, and a lack of energy sometimes to the point of not being able to get out of bed. What might cause these signs and symptoms?
(Please include your citation, if there is. Thanks!)
he classic signs of inflammation are that the tissue becomes hot, swollen, and painful, and the coloration of the overlying skin may change color slightly or significantly. Explain in detail the microscopic levels that occur that cause these macroscopic signs to appear (hot, swollen, painful, color change). How are these microscopic changes beneficial in terms of fighting infection? Are there any other microscopic events that are not immediately reflected in the macroscopic signs of inflammation?
The circulating cytokines that recruit large numbers of phagocytes to the area of
inflammation, resulting in pus, are called:
O1)
pyogens
O 2) pyrogens
3) interferons
O 4) defensins
