The Lytic Cycle describes the process. This is the mechanism by which viruses infect a host, take over the function of the cells, and use them to replicate millions of new viruses in your body. The word lytic is used since the infected host cells are lysed (split open), and killed in the process, as the new virus particles mature and are ready for release in the body.

Common cold viruses infect the cells of the mucous tissue in humans, mostly that of the respiratory system. However, cold viruses also infect the tissues in the eyes, mouth and the rest of the gastrointestinal system with mucous tissue.
