White blood cells
Explain how skeletal bones are formed?
You have specialized cells in your body (ostioblasts) that make bone matrix.
What is the couse of leukemia?
When there are too much white blood cells in the body.
How does your body fight back to leukemia?
The body fights back against leukemia primarily through the immune system, which recognizes and targets cancerous cells. White blood cells, such as T-cells and natural killer cells, play a crucial role in identifying and destroying these abnormal cells. Additionally, the body may produce more healthy blood cells to combat the effects of leukemia. Treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, are also employed to enhance the body's ability to fight the disease.
What are the pros and cons of chemotherapy for leukemia?
lack of cells in the body....... sources: majored in Biochemistry
What disease occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the number of white blood cells which results in fewer red blood cells carrying oxygen to body tissues?
Leukemia is the name of the disease described.
Who is effected by leukemia?
Leukemia is when the cells in the bone marrow start rapidly multiplying out of control. Undeveloped white blood cells start circulating in the body, causing a high white blood cell count. This causes non-leukemic cells to not function properly.
What body parts are affected by chemotherapy?
Leukemia is usally in the blood and it can somtimes take off all your hair depending on how serious it is but what it is that it is usually in the blood cells and it attacks your body it may sound disgusting but it is ture !!! Another answer: Your body produces red blood cells and other blood cells from stem cells in your bones. Your entire body needs blood. When you have Leukemia, your body stops producing red blood cells. Leukemia means white blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Without oxygen you die. Today Leukemia is treated by using radiation to kill the infected stem cells. Then new stem cells are injected into the body to replace them. The new stem cells produce red blood cells.
What part of the body developes leukemia?
Leukemia primarily develops in the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. It affects the body's blood-forming tissues, leading to the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal cells can interfere with the production of normal blood cells and affect the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections and other complications.
Why does leukemia effect the body system?
Leukemia is a kind of blood cancer. It affects bone marrow and you cannot make more blood cells. Blood cells are the one that fight against the antigen and protects the body. People with leukemia will have less or minimum protection and will be prone all kind of infection.
What organ systems are affected by leukemia?
== == Leukemia affects many of the bodily systems during its destruction. It affects the bone marrow and lymphatic system, spreading malignant cells from the bone marrow through the blood stream and into the lymph nodes, weakening the body.
How does Leukemia start?
How leukemia begins depends in part on the type of leukemia present. All cancers involve an abnormal cell in the body which begins to multiple rapidly, crowding out the normal cells with immature cancerous cells. With leukemia, this abnormal cell growth is specific to bone marrow cells, but can differ a little as to which type. In lymphocytic leukemia, the bone marrow cells that are supposed to form the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, are affected. In myelogenous leukemia, the bone marrow cells responsible for forming the red blood cells, platelets, and certain other types of white blood cells are affected. Basically, leukemia starts when abnormal cells in the bone marrow start to proliferate.
