What would happen if your immune system stopped working?

This could lead to severe illnesses, recurring infections, and even life-threatening conditions. It is crucial for the immune system to function properly to protect your overall health.


When you get sick how does your body attempt to maintain homeostasis?

When you get sick, your body initiates an immune response to fight off the invading pathogens and restore homeostasis. This can include fever to create an inhospitable environment for the pathogens, increased production of white blood cells to attack the invaders, and inflammation to isolate and eliminate the threat. Additionally, the body may increase fluid intake, rest, and other protective mechanisms to aid in the recovery process.

Why is vomiting a way for a body to reach homeostasis?

Because during digestion we require and have more blood flow to our stomach. When we vomit it allows more blood flow to our vital organs where it is needed. For example if you cut an artery in your leg and start loosing large volumes of blood, you feel sick and vomit, because your body needs more blood to your brain and vital organs to maintain homeostasis.

Why does chickenpox vaccine usually not cause you to become ill with chickenpox?

Your body has the ability to tackle most diseases. If you are given a small amount of a germ, your body can fight it and will teach itself how to protect itself if you are hit a by a full-blown attack. When you get a vaccination they put in a dead or weakened pathogen (a bad germ that makes you sick) in your blood stream. This vaccination tricks your immune system (the system that fights off germs) into thinking that you are sick. So it sends out antibodies (the things that fight off germs), and once they're made they stay in there forever therefore keeping you from getting sick.
