What medicines fight microbes?

Microbes are tiny organisms that cannot be seen by the human eye. There are microbes that are good for you and microbes that are bad for you. Everyone has an immune system, which is a bodily function that defends your body from bad microbes. the immune system is not an organ but its in your bloodstream and most of your organs. In your immune system there are things called antibodies which kill bad microbes. When you have medicines and jabs, there are bad microbes inside the medicines/jabs. They always put in quite mild bad microbes though, so it doesn't make you ill but does prepare the antibodies so if they see the same kind of bad microbes again they will be able to kill them faster, giving you less chance of catching the disease.For example, in the smallpox jab they give you the smallpox that cows get (yes, cows can get smallpox too). But humans can't actually get ill from having small amounts of cow smallpox injected into them, because our antibodies can kill cow smallpox microbes easily. But when the antibodies kill the cow smallpox microbes, they remember them, so if you ever get human smallpox microbes inside you, the antibodies will remember how they killed the cow smallpox microbes and kill the smallpox microbes in the same way. Because they have already killed the same thing before, they will kill them quicker, giving you much less chance of the smallpox microbes getting through your immune system and giving you the disease.As humans are eukaryotes, our genome is extremely difficult to truly decode due to processes such as exon shuffling, the genetic "junk" and likely dozens of other observed aspects of our genome.Naturally, many people with genetic defects need a constant supply of medicines (diabetics will be used from here on out in this section). Creating insulin in a lab was very difficult before the onset of cDNA, which (long story made really really short) is placing the human insulin gene into yeast or another simple eukaryote. Thankfully, all eukaryotic cells "know" how to process our genome and human hormones can be made in vivo in laboratories in greater quantity than ever before.

When a person receives a flu vaccination does he develop active or passive immunity?

Active. Foreign microbes, or parts of microbes, are introduced to the body and the immune system reacts and produces antibodies. The antibodies were made in reaction to a foreign body introduced into the body, so it's active. Passive is when the antibodies are given directly to the person, such as from mother to child in pregnancy.

What is the name give to Blood cells which are a part of the bodys defence against invading microbes?

Leukocytes, commonly known as White Blood Cells(WBC) are body's defence against invading microbes.


Why don't microbes become covered in antibodies as soon as they are found?

the blood cycles round the body one way so the antibodies have to go all the way around the body until they get to the microbe which could take a long time.


What are different blood vessels and their functions?

What is a protein produced by the body to combat foreign particles?

Antibodies are proteins released by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. They destroy hostile microbes in the body.

How small pox cure?

There is a vaccination available. A dead or weakened form of the disease is injected into the body and the body builds up an immunity to the disease. Antibodies recognize the disease microbes and attack them.
