How can you overcome asthma?
no becasue asthma is a respitory problem and it is no into your blood stream having that said therfore it couldn't be touched by your immune system also it doesn't even have the chemical inside it to get rid of asthma anyway only steroids do.
Why blood is so essential?
blood as a whole is vital to life of any multi-cellular organism. RBCs, or red blood cells transport oxygen to other cells in the body. Blood also has WBCs, Tcells and Bcells that fight infections in our body. Plasma is the fluid part of the blood that brings water to all parts of the body as well as nutrients such as glucose and proteins.
Hiv attacks the body's immune system by destroying what kind of cells?
Once HIV enters the body's blood stream it immediatly starts attacking the body's CD4 cells or your helper t-cells. An average HIV Negative person has roughly around 1200 tcells per every milimeter of blood. How HIV works is that once it's in the blood stream, the HIV virus is a hundred times smaller than one tcell, and the HIV virus attaches itself to the CD4 cell and it sinks into the tcell and uses the cells RNA to copy the HIV virus up to a billion times in 24 hours. But once the HIV uses the tcells RNA the tcell then become paralyzed and dies, and after HIV and destroyed so many tcells that the numbers drop below 200 tcells per milimeter of blood, the body can not naturely fight off infection, and this stage is what you call full blown AIDS.
Thymus failed to produce the hormone thymosin you would expect to see a decrease inthe number of?
tcells
Will there be a treatment to cure you if you had HIV?
Once you are diagnosed with HIV, or when HIV enters the bloodstream, there is no known cure in which it eliminates the HIV virus from the bloodstream. Usually when you are diagnosed the doctor will then take a blood test to see how much of the virus is in your body per milimeter of blood and also how many CD4 cells (tcells) are also in your bloodstream. If the tests come back that there are more than 200 tcells per millimeter of blood, the Doctor may not put you on HIV medications since your body can still fight infection on it's own. If your tcells are 200 or below, your body can no longer fight off infection and he or she will then start you on HIV medications. Depending on what strain of the virus you have, the Doctor can start you on numerous different kinds of medication combinations. Don't get confused that the HIV medications DO NOT cure HIV from your bloodstream, all it does is stop HIV from attaching to your tcells, and stops the virus from duplicating and keeping the virus undetectable. This way the virus is no longer attacking your immune system, but the virus is hiding mainly in the lymphnodes, and if you were to stop taking the antiretrovirus medications, the virus would come out of remission and start attacking the body again.
Do Kaposi's sarcoma lesions fade away by themselves?
depends on what type of KS you have. I'm going to assume you have KS from an Immune Defiency. In this case, HAART medicine will bring your Tcells Back up , and the KS spots will stop spreading. Or you can do DOXIL chemotherapy, usually 4-6 treatments to treat the cancer.The spots will flatten first, then fade.. They don't usually fade away 100 %.. laser treatment which is expensive can help....
Protects the body destroys bacteria and tumor cells?
T cells are made in the red bone marrow but specialize into t cells outside the marrow in the thymus, hence the T in Tcells. two types of t cells are cytotoxic effector cells and helper t cells. think of cytotoxic t cells as the drunk guy in the bar that wants to fight everyone (and is a good fighter by the way) and the helper t cells are the friends who show him who to fight and provides him with the weapons to fight. CTC can attach to and destroy cells carrying antigens Helper T cells 1. present antigen to CE cells and plasma B cells to activate them into action and 2. produe powerful immune protein called cytokins which can stimulate the lymphocyte cell disvision.
What does your immune system do?
Aids and HIV are not the same thing though many people think they are. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks your body and destroys your CD4+ cells, which are part of the bodies immune system therfore it slowly weakens your bodies immune system so it can no longer fight diseases as well as it once could. Aids is only when you have a full outbreak of HIV. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help I don't have alot of time right now to give a more discriptive answer.
What do t cells do?
(t-cells) are involved in cell mediated immunity that can have memory of previous antigens(non self) that have invaded our body. cytotoxic tcells release preforin that destroy tumor cells or antigens helper tcells release cytokines/interlukins that help in more tcell differentiation
