All immunogens are antigens but all antigens are not immunogens-explain?

Let's start with the first phrase: "All immunogens are antigens" Yes, that's true. Immunogens are antigens that CAN ELICIT IMMUNE RESPONSE and percieved as foreign by the body. Remember, anything that is percieved by the body as foreign is an antigen. Period. Now the second phrase: "All antigens are not immunogens" This is also true. There are antigens, percieved by the body as foreign that CANNOT ELICIT IMMUNE RESPONSE. Example of this is Hapten Molecule. It is an antigen that cannot elicit response by itself, unless paired with a larger protein. In summary: Immunogens - form of antigens that can elicit response. Antigens - anything percieved by the body as foreign that can either elicit or not (Hapten molecule) an Immune response.


The foreign or nonself proteins that trigger immune responses are called?

An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.


Is the human nerve cells living things?

Yep. Every part of the human body is living. Your hair, nails, cells, etc.


Why is the reaction important the certain situations?

The instinctive reaction is important because it takes time for signals to travel all the way to the brain and elicit a response - sending a message up the spinal cord takes time. Reflexes cause the body to automatically respond without waiting.


Do pathagens directly affect the human body?

Yes, pathogens can directly affect the human body by causing infections or diseases when they invade tissues and cells. They can disrupt normal physiological processes, leading to symptoms such as fever, inflammation, and tissue damage. The body's immune response is activated to fight off the infection caused by pathogens.

What is definition of the word hapten?

A hapten is a small molecule that can elicit an immune response only when attached to a large carrier such as a protein. The carrier can also be one that does not elicit an immune response by itself. Things such as infectious agents, or insoluble foreign matter can elicit an immune response in the body as well as large lolecules.

Does Helium in large quantities like a Blimp have an identifiable odor It strikes you anything this dense would have an olfactory input?

Helium is an odorless gas, and therefore at high densities should smell just as air does. The gas imbalance my elicit a sensory response due to the human body's dependence on Oxygen. The details of this response, I am uncertain of, but may also vary with the individual or conditions.


Substances formed by the human body in response to foreign proteins entering the body are called?

antibodies


What is the human body's automatic response to the environment?

An automatic response to the environment is a reflex


What do monocytes do in a body?

Monocytes ARE a a type of leukocyte , part of the human body's immune system, monocytes have 2 funtions: 1. to replenish macrophages and dendrites to normal state 2. monocytes can quickly (takes 8-12 hours and yes its not quickly....) go to the site of the infection and divide the tissue AND differentiate macrophages and dendritic cells to elicit an immune response...


What is any foreign substance that triggers an immune response in the human body know as?

Antigen


Why does the human body sweat?

The human body sweats to regulate temperature and cool down. Sweat is produced by sweat glands in response to heat or physical exertion, and evaporates from the skin to help lower body temperature.


How can pathogens cause disease in the human body?

Pathogens can cause disease in the human body by invading tissues, releasing toxins, and triggering an immune response that can damage healthy cells and tissues.


Integration of body functions is controlled by what?

The human brain can be seen as 'supersense' It adds all sense signals and produces a response. This response via the nerve system controls the integration of the body functions.


How does the human body detect the Nipah Virus?

The human body detects the Nipah virus through the immune system's response to the virus entering the body. Once the virus breaches the body's defenses, the immune system produces antibodies to fight the infection and trigger an inflammatory response. This process helps the body recognize and eradicate the Nipah virus.
