AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome I am doing a report on AIDS‚ I don’t know much about AIDS but I will tell you what I know. I know that it is transmitted by sexual contact‚blood‚needles‚children during/before birth. I also know it affects the immune system directly‚ It is caused by the virus HIV which they have no cure for either AIDS or HIV at the current moment‚ but they are doing serious research on them. I call it the "Generation X Disease" because it mostly affects my sex- oriented

After any injury‚ it is a natural response that the immune system will trigger it inane or adaptive immune to protect or limit the injury to it body. The adaptive immune response is antigen-specific and requires the recognition of specific "non-self" antigens during a process called antigen presentation. B cells and T cells are the major types of lymphocytes in the immune system. However‚ when an adaptive immune response develops against self-antigens autoimmune response occurs with the characteristic

flora keeps a balance between the Enterobacteriaceae and the immune response‚ however‚ when these natural flora are destroyed infections might occur since there is no balance anymore. Immunology Our immune response can target Enterobacteriaceae in several ways. Since Enterobacteriaceae are Gram-negative bacteria‚ they have LPS in their outer membrane. LPS can activate the innate immune response. Through this activation the complement system (the alternate to be precise) will be activated as well as

activity of antibody. The complement system was a group of more than 20 serum glycoprotein which had been synthesized by the liver that were secreted by hepatocytes and circulating in the tissue fluids and in the blood. Also most of the proteins that formed the complement were inactive; however they were activated in an enzyme cascade sequence. The complement system was first evolved as a part of the innate immune system and played vital role. The proteases in the system cleaved exact proteins which would

The Lymphatic System And Immunity The cells‚ tissues‚ and organs of the lymphatic system play a central role in the body’s defenses against a variety of pathogens‚ or disease-causing organisms. Acts against environment hazards‚ various pathogens‚ and internal threats. Lymphocytes (primary cell) are vital to or overcoming infection and disease. Lymphocytes respond to invading pathogens‚ abnormal body cells‚ and foreign proteins. They act to eliminate these threats or render them harmless

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM * Carries fluid in one direction‚ from the tissues to the circulatory system. Functions of the Lymphatic System 1. Fluid Balance * Collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream. 2. Fat Absorption * Absorbs fats and other substance from the digestive tract through lymphatic vessels called lacteals located in the lining of the small intestine. * Fat enters the lacteals and pass through the lymphatic vessels

Chapter 16-Lymphatic System & Immunity 1. Explain the functions of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system functions to balance fluid‚ lipid absorption (via lacteals=lymph capillaries) and defense. It removes toxins/pathogens‚ fight infections and transports excess fluid in the interstitial spaces and returns it to the blood stream. Lacteals absorb digested fats from small intestines and transports it to venous circulation. 2. Trace the general pathway of lymph from the interstitial

self-esteem gives people confidence in whatever they do and prevents them from the hardships of rejection or failure. The psychological immune system intertwines with self-esteem by helping people cope with negative responses or outcomes. It allows people to make mistakes and learn from them and give them the ability to accept mistakes from others. In the readings‚ “Immune to Reality” by Daniel Gilbert‚ and “ An Army of One: Me” by Jean Twenge‚ both authors arrive at an agreement that living and facing
