Viruses reanimate dead cells in the body by hijacking the cellular machinery of living cells. Once inside a cell, the virus uses the cell's resources to replicate itself, leading to the destruction of the host cell. This process allows the virus to spread and infect other cells, ultimately causing harm to the body.

How do dead cells on the epidermis help the body?

Dead cells on the epidermis, known as corneocytes, play a crucial role in providing a protective barrier for the body. These cells are constantly shed and replaced by new cells underneath, helping to maintain the integrity of the skin. Additionally, the dead cells help to prevent water loss and protect the body from external pathogens and UV radiation.


What is the dead cells?

Dead skin cells break away from the epidermis and they fall off. This makes room for the newer skin cells. The dead cells fall off as you go about your daily life and they can end up in your bed and around your house.


How are dead and worn cells in the body replaced?

It all depends on which cells. Some are not replaced. These are mostly nerve cells such as found in the brain. Other cells constantly die and are shed and replaced from tissues below them. An example of this are your skin cells.


What are examples of dead cells?

Examples of dead cells include hair and nails, as they are composed of the protein keratin and do not contain any living cells. Additionally, the stratum corneum layer of the skin is made up of dead skin cells that have moved to the surface as part of the body's natural shedding process.


Defense of the body against a particular bacterium or virus is provided by?

The defense of the body against a particular bacterium or virus is provided by the immune system. The immune system recognizes the invading pathogen as foreign and works to eliminate it through mechanisms such as the production of antibodies, activation of immune cells, and formation of memory cells for future protection.

What happens when a person receives a vaccine and his or her body?

The basics behind it - Your body gets dead virus cells put in, and your immune system finds out how to fight those virus cells off. Once it knows how to fight off the virus cells, if live cells try and infect you your body already knows how to kill them off.


Is there a real disease that can reanimate a dead corpse?

No there is not.

Why does getting an inoculation prevent measles?

The inoculation introduces a 'dead' version of the virus to the body. It is dead so there is no illness from having the needle. So when the real virus shows up, the body recognizes it and already has a defence against it.


Why do you excrete mucus when you have a runny nose?

How do vaccinations stimulate the immune system?

when having a vaccination, they inject Dead Viruses into your body. Your White blood cells will then detect an unknown substance that is not meant to be in your body. (The viruses are dead so you will not get ill unless you have a very week immune system) Your white blood cells will then engulf the dead virus and kill it. (Shorter Vers.) Vaccinations are dead viruses which helps your white blood cell produce toxins to kill it therefore your white blood cell will be prepared for the next time you get the same virus.


How do you start the apocolypse?

you can create a zombie by creating a virus (very unlikely) able to kill someone then reanimate there body as a corpse that is mindless, but still thinks to feed. Chances are the virus would have to contain some kind of poison able to kill some one, but leave there body (after dead) uncontaminated to the point where bodily functions will still re-operate. Some poison would remain to change a victim after contact with the blood. Scientist have created something to make a person brain dead as if they were a zombie, but the project has not proceeded in a while.


How can your body produce antibodies against dead viruses?

A virus doesn't have to be alive for the body to produce antibodies against it. Antibodies recognize the physical appearance of a virus. By using dead viruses the immune system is taught to look out for a live virus with the same characteristics of the dead one, but you don't risk being infected by the virus.


What is inside vaccine that makes it work without getting people sick?

When a nurse or doctor pricks you with their needle they are sending many cells of a virus (the flu for example). At this time, your immune system attacks every cell that is pumped into your arm. But there is something different about these virus cells... They are not alive. They are simply the virus, but not alive, therefore it can do no harm to the body. But the immune system doesn't take any chances with it. It tears the cells apart and while doing so, remembers how it was able to attack the cells for the next time that same virus comes around. Therefore, your body will know how to get rid of that certain virus because it has already come into contact with it... it was just dead.


Is a layer of dead cells more protective than a layer of new cells?

A layer of new cells is always better than a layer of old and dead cells. If your skin is dead then it wont be protecting you, instead it will spread the necrosis to your inside body parts and ultimately you'll either scar a lot or die. Nothing dead is every helpful to the body (hence why dead cells are always "recycled" and then flushed out of the body).
