Chromosomes Mutations With the exception of the mother’s egg cells or the father’s sperm cells‚ every cell in the normal human body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes‚ totaling 46 in each cell called the diploid number. According to The Human Genome project there are over 30‚000 genes in every cell‚ spread unevenly across the chromosomes. Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes‚ one member is inherited from the mother‚ and one from the father. Members of each pair are called homologous. The first 22 pairs

One example given was the polio vaccine‚ which has decreased the numbers of cases from the thousands to now hundreds (Beckham‚ M. 2005). How do they work? Normally the human body neutralizes the effects of outside invaders with antibodies or lymphocytes that prevent a person from getting sick. The problem is that our immune system can take a few days to a week before triggering an immune response‚ and when a person encounters a serious infectious disease‚ it can be life threatening (How vaccines

The results obtained did not follow any pattern except chloride levels which had significant (P<0.05) decrease across all the treatments (88.00 – 72.00 mmol/L).

The human body has developed a great variety of mechanisms to protect itself from invasion by pathogenic microorganisms. These host defences include prevention of entry and dealing with the pathogens once they have breached the outer defences of the body. Once a pathogen is inside the body‚ the immune system must recognize the pathogen as foreign and dispose of it. The overall immune system is divided into two separate systems that do work together to protect the body. The Innate system‚ is the

The result of this study showed that bee bread extract has a protective effect in aluminum induced anemia and it significantly ameliorates hepato-renal toxicity and reduces the elevated CRP level and monocytes and leukocytes counts encountered after aluminum exposure. Aluminum alone caused significant anemia‚ elevation of BUN‚ CRP‚ leukocytes and monocytes counts and liver enzymes‚ ALT and AST‚ and deceased creatinine clearance. Chemical analysis and antioxidant study showed that it contains fat

SENSE- is the ability to perceive stimuli. SENSATION (PERCEPTION)- is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. GENERAL SENSES- are those with receptors distributed over a large part of the body. SOMATIC SENSES- provides sensory information about the body and the environment. VISCERAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure and are localized to specific parts of the body such as pain and pressure. SPECIAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure such as smell
