To what system do the islets of langerhans belong?
the thong
Which system does hiv and aids attack?
HIV attacks the immune system. The name itself tells you when it is written in full form. HIV stands for Human immunodeficiency virus.
What STD attacks the immune system?
The HIV virus attacks the immune system and can lead to AIDS.
Is langerhans cell is a nerve cell?
No, it's a cell of the immune system. They are a subset of dendritic cells found in the epidermis, that capture antigens (with the long arms that make them look like nerves) and take them to lymph nodes to present to T cells. Paul Langerhans (who discovered them) in 1968 actually thought they were nerve cells!
What body system has to do with the pancreas failing to properly produce insulin?
several things can cause this. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the insulin producing cells in the Islets of Langerhans, killing them, and cells that produce amylin. It can also be caused by a neurologic issue.
What type of cell do HIV attack in the immune system?
HIV attacks Acquired Immune system.
What is the function of the langerhans?
Langerhans cells are a subset of dendritic cells that reside in the epidermis (Part of the immune system). They have long dendrites (like arms) that capture antigen in the skin, and when they find an antigen, they migrate to lymph nodes and present to T cells allowing the adaptive immune system to respond.
What does the inner layer of skin contain in the immune system?
langerhans cells. They orriginate in bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis.
What is the function of Langerhans's cells?
Langerhans cells are a subset of dendritic cells that reside in the epidermis (Part of the immune system). They have long dendrites (like arms) that capture antigen in the skin, and when they find an antigen, they migrate to lymph nodes and present to T cells allowing the adaptive immune system to respond.

What virus attacks the cells in the immune system that produces that antibodies?
HIV, human immunodeficiency virus, is the virus that attacks the cells in the immune system that produce antibodies.
Where is the islets of Langerhans located?
The Islets of Langerhans are pockets of endocrine cells in the pancreas. These cells produce glucagon and insulin. They are located near the small intestine.The Islets of Langerhans are pockets of endocrine cells in the pancreas. These cells produce glucagon and insulin.Found in the pancreas, which is located partially behind the stomach in the abdomen, it contains ACINAR cells which are involved in the digestive system. As for Islets of Langerhans, which are also found in the pancreas, there are beta cells which secrete GLUCAGON and alpha cells which secrete INSULIN, beta cells are more prevalent. Insulin and glocagon are secreted in response to blood glucose levels.Langerhans cells are dendritic cells in the epidermis, containing large granules called Birbeck granules. They are normally present in lymph nodes and other organs, including the stratum spinosum layer of the epidermis. They can be found elsewhere, but sould not be confused with the pancreatic cells of the islets of Langerhans.
