Multiple sclerosis is a chronic‚ progressive‚ degenerative‚ auto immune disorder of the central nervous system characterized by the disseminated demyelination of the nerve fibres in the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and optic nerves (Lewis‚ 2014). The protective covering of the nerves‚ known as myelin‚ is attacked by the disease‚ causing inflammation and damage ("Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada‚" 2015). Myelin is made up of Schwann cells‚ and facilitates the transmission of nerve impulses. According to

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

The immune system is made up of many interdependent cell categories such as cells‚ proteins‚ tissues‚ and organs that work together to protect the body. Several of these cell categories partake in a particular function. “The cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria‚ kill parasites or tumor cells‚ or kill viral-infected cells (The Immune System and Primary Immunodeficiency‚ n.d.)”. The immune system is a great teamwork among cells and proteins that work together to deliver defend against infection

(SCID) is a rare fatal disorder that occurs in approximately 1 in 75‚000 children‚ usually leading to infant death within one year from birth (Cavazzana-Calvo‚ et al. pg 202). Patients suffering from SCID have genetic mutations that prevent their immune system from properly developing and functioning‚ which leads to recurrent and eventually lethal infections. (Kohn‚ Michel‚ and Glorioso pg 479) Most of these patients are diagnosed with a type of SCID called X-linked SCID‚ which is responsible for

The physical immune system protects one’s body from outside sickness. Similarly‚ the psychological immune system protects one’s mental health from unhappiness‚ a form of illness. In Daniel Gilbert’s “Immune to Reality‚” Gilbert discusses how the brain acquires happiness. Furthermore‚ he demonstrates how the brain will keep one from achieving his or her true happiness. According to Robert Thurman’s “Wisdom‚” the alternative method of obtaining happiness is through selflessness. There is a famous

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome‚ or AIDS‚ is a recently recognized disease. It is caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‚ which attacks selected cells in the IMMUNE SYSTEM and produces defects in function. These defects may not be apparent for years. They lead‚ however‚ to a severe suppression of the immune system ’s ability to resist harmful organisms. This leaves the body open to invasion by various infections‚ which are therefore called opportunistic diseases‚ and
