called leukocytosis and a decrease in WBC’s is called leucopenia. Lymphocytes although they can develop in bone morrow can also mature in lymph nodes. One type can even mature to become plasma cells. Lymph nodes and plasma cells are involved I our immune systems. White blood cells can leave the blood to enter into other body tissues. When monocytes do this they are referred to as macrophages in those tissues. The precise production of RBC’s is termed erythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis starts in the red

blockades of the first defense system includes the skin‚ tears‚ and the stomach. After the outer line of defense is breached‚ the body starts it innate immune system to help prepare to take action on the foreign infectious disease or bacteria. The chemical barrier or the innate immunity is made up of a collection of white blood cells along with groups of chemical messengers. Innate immunity is activated by a set of molecules that are found only on invading

The Digestive System The job of the digestive system is to break down food into substances to provide the body with vitamins‚ energy and minerals. The digestive system is approximately 20 to 30 feet and acts in stages to be able to digest the food we eat. The first stage is chewing which helps us break down small pieces of food making it easier to digest and swallow. Saliva in our mouth has special enzymes that help us break down foods like starchy foods. The second stage is swallowing

BIOS 255 WEEK 5 Lab 5 - Lymphatic System & Disease Resistance 1. Describe lymphatic system functions. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood‚ and to filter fluid of pathogens‚ damaged cells‚ cellular‚ and cancerous cells to help protect against invasion. 2. Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct‚ thoracic (left

From where do our innate fears come from? EVOLUTION: Innate Fears: Innate fears are fears we have from birth When geese are hatched in a hatchery they are set aside in a cage and have a cardboard cutout of a goose flown over them‚ they then reach out chirping and begging for food but when flown backwards the mother goose now resembles a hungry falcon‚ the geese then try to hide and stop chirping‚ Humans‚ how you scream at a spider did our ancestors run from an arachnid that was twenty times

Natural immunity is the immune system based on the genetic constitution of certain organisms. A person or an animal is born with one’s innate resistance against certain pathogen. At present‚ all immune systems require contact with antigens‚ and they acquire immunity accordingly‚ which is viewed as an outdated concept. There are three possible cases : 1.The antibodies of the parent are transmitted to their fetus through the placenta or colostrum‚ and the infant is also referred to as a passive immunity

Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection at the Molecular Level Research Paper Virology 24 November 2008 Abstract Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection is widespread and causes significant disease in humans. The structure‚ epidemiology‚ pathogensis and immune response are examined in this review‚ as well as specific ways to reduce and eliminate pathology and related diseases. The virus naturally infects mucosal areas and begins the search for its target host cell. Upon binding to the host cell membrane

Macrophages‚ produced by the division of monocytes‚ are white blood cells within tissues; essentially‚ an immuno-defence mechanism. Macrophages are vital to the regulation of immune responses and the development of inflammation. After insult‚ macrophages normally become active to remove debris. Macrophages function in innate natural immunity by destroying microbes and in acquired immunity as an antigen-presenting cell. During phagocytosis‚ macrophages are activated to destroy (consume) the bacteria
