What cells or tissues does asthma infect and how often does it damage those cells or tissues?
Asthma is not an infectious disease and so does not infect any cells or tissue. Asthma is a condition in which the airways leading to the gas-exchange sacks (alveolae) in the lungs become irritated and swollen, thus creating resistance to air flow and making breathing more difficult. Many different situations can cause this.
What else can I help you with?
What is a feature of viruses but not cells?
they can damage the 52o tissues
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
How many different kinds of cells can any given virus infect?
A given virus can infect a limited range of cell types, often specific to certain hosts or tissues. This specificity is largely determined by the virus's surface proteins, which must match receptors on the host cell's membrane. For example, some viruses may infect only certain types of animal cells, while others may target specific plant or bacterial cells. Overall, the diversity of cells a virus can infect varies widely between different viruses.
What did the first viruses do?
Infect cells.
How do bacteria differ from the cells of the organism they infect?
Bacteria are unicellular. The cells of the organism they infect are, quite often, part of a multicellular organism.
How do T cells contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases?
T cells play a key role in autoimmune diseases by mistakenly attacking the body's own cells and tissues. This can happen when T cells become overactive or fail to recognize the body's own cells as "self," leading to inflammation and damage to healthy tissues.
What characteristics of a virus make them so dangerous to humans and living organisims?
Viruses can rapidly evolve and adapt to infect new hosts, making them difficult to control. They hijack host cells to replicate, causing damage to tissues and organs. Their ability to spread quickly through populations can result in widespread outbreaks and pandemics.
The human immunodeficiency virus may infect what cells?
sperm cells
What are the stages of pathogen development?
Attachment: Pathogen attaches to host cells. Invasion: Pathogen enters host cells and starts to replicate. Evasion: Pathogen evades host immune response. Spread: Pathogen spreads to other tissues and host organisms. Damage: Pathogen causes damage to host tissues and organs.
Can body tissues be grown from stem cells?
All of your cells come from stem cells, so yes, you can grow more tissue from an organ from them. In fact this is what happens when your body tries to repair damage.
Why cant every virus infect every living cell?
Viruses can only infect specific cells that have the necessary receptors on their surface for the virus to attach to. Each virus is adapted to infect specific types of cells based on these interactions. This specificity limits the range of cells that a virus can successfully infect.
How are the cells different from healthy cells and cells that have asthma?
There is no such thing as an asthmatic cell.
