sends signals from the brain to the spleen. Along this path‚ action potentials move down the nerve to the abdomen‚ which terminates the nerve cells that send their fibers to the spleen. These fibers release a signaling molecule that binds to T lymphocytes. The signaling molecule then attaches receptors to the T cells which begin production of acetylcholine‚ which then attaches to macrophages‚ which produce TNF. The techniques being developed to control inflammatory diseases will most likely involve

The transmission of the morbillivirus to a host requires very close contact between the two species. When the cetacean morbillivirus infects the host cell‚ it stays in the infected host for only a short time after infection (Ohishi 186). Once a host cell gets infected with the cetacean morbillivirus‚ the virus can be spread from animal to animal by contact with infected animals through entry of the eyes‚ stomach‚ and mouth‚ wounds in the skin‚ or reproductive tract. The cetacean morbillivirus can

Asthma is a term used to describe an obstructive pulmonary disease whereby an individual’s airways are considered chronically inflamed‚ affecting eight to twelve percent of Australian adults (Brown et al 2016). While the cause of this chronic disease is yet to be determined‚ multiple triggers have been identified; including allergens‚ infections‚ exercise and irritants (Vernon et al 2012‚ and Brown et al 2016). To describe the pathophysiological processes involved in asthma‚ this paper will use

What now differentiates Hodgkin’s lymphoma is the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells (and variations on this cell) in the cancerous area‚ a cell specific to Hodgkin’s Disease. There is definitive evidence that the the cancerous cells are of B-cell lymphocyte (white blood cell) origin. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) also appears to be a factor‚ at least in some cases - appearing in about 40-50% of Hodgkin’s cases. Hodgkin’s may be more prevalent in people who have contracted infectious mononucleosis

E-mail: rayven202000@yahoo.com Abstract Lymphoma makes up 5% of all cancer cases in the country‚ with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) being the 6th most common.

Lymphocytes are in the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues‚ such as the spleen and bone marrow. There are two types of lymphomas: Hodgkin’s lymphoma is named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin‚ who first described it‚ and Non-Hodgkin’s
