blood contains white blood cells‚ which combat infection and inflammation. Foreign invaders attract phagocytic neutrophils and macrophages by means of chemotaxis. These particular cells eat and dispose of pathogens in a process called phagocytosis. These cells ingest and dispose of pathogens and dead matter during phagocytosis. Case Story‚ Question 2 The sporozites have traveled ot Ed’s liver; how is the function of hepatocytes related to blood? Hepatocytes are involved in synthesizing

Antibiotics are drugs used to stop infections by bacteria. * Antibiotics will not work against viruses. * Unlike vaccines‚ antibiotics can cure diseases. * Common mistake: * “Antibodies are cells that attack pathogens.” Antibodies are proteins‚ not cells. * Interactions between body systems * The different systems of the body work together to maintain homeostasis. For example: * Nutrients from the digestive system are transported to cells

The innate immune system is referred to as the first line in host defense against invading pathogens and preserve host integrity [1]. Of them the innate immune cells have sensors such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) detect molecular components of foreign microorgan¬isms known as pathogen-associated molecule patterns (PAMPs) through PRRs. Its highly developed ability to recognize microbial patterns and host derived danger signals relies on so-called PRRs‚ especially on the TLRs‚ RLRs and

gas exchange system‚ by breathing in pathogens‚ most are trapped in the mucus lining in the lung epithelium. There are also cilia that move the mucus up the trachea and into the mouth where it is removed. However some bacteria is still able to reach the alveoli where they invade cells and cause damage. Another way it can enter the body is through the skin‚ if the skin is broken‚ bacteria on the surface can enter the blood stream. A scab is formed to stop pathogens from entering‚ however some may enter

postulates? Koch was the first scientist to prove that bacteria actually cause disease. He scientifically demonstrated that a disease is caused by a particular organism. He created four general guidelines to aid in identification of disease causing pathogens. These guidelines developed from his work with purified cultures of anthrax that had been isolated from dead animals. Koch also proved that the same disease could be passed from one organism to another. Pasteur proved that microorganisms could be
