Immune System

This category is for questions about how our bodies identify and fight off disease, infection or pathogens through specialized cells, tissues and organs. The system that does this is called the immune system. It produces antibodies which recognize intruders and neutralizes potentially pathogenic organisms or substances.

What pathogens have a simple structure?

Pathogens with simple structures primarily include viruses and some bacteria. Viruses, such as the influenza virus and the common cold virus, consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat, lacking cellular machinery. Bacteria like Mycoplasma, which are among the smallest known bacteria, have minimalistic cell structures and lack a cell wall, making them simpler than more complex bacteria. These pathogens rely heavily on their hosts for replication and survival.

Skeletal is to support as immune is to?

Skeletal is to support as immune is to recognition or protection

What are the structure involved in the first line defense?

structures is a object or a thing that has more then one object in it

What are the 2 types of defenses your body has?

skin is your first line of defense. White blood cells also seek out and kill harmful intruders

Why is the response of the immune system to a vaccine specific?

How common is bone breaks?

It just depends how careful you are, and if you have something that makes your bones fragile like a friend of mine has.

What occurs when the immune response is compromised?

I think it's when the virus targets only the immune system, and infects it

How are immunizations and immune globulin different?

immunization is the antibody giving to the human to get the immunity. but immun globulin is existing antibody in the human body.

What is motor nervous?

You are probably thinking of motor nerves. Those are the nerves which transmit messages from the brain to the muscles, causing movement. The other kind of nerves are sensory, which transmit sense perceptions.

What type of pathogens causes amoebic dysentery?

The type of pathogen that causes amoebic dysentery is known as shingellosis. This is also referred to as bacillary dysentery.

What are 2nd line defenses of the body?

The second line of defence is the non specific, it includes antimicrobial proteins, phagocytes and other cells.

- In this state to inhibit spread of invader through out the body.

-Inflamation, is its hallmark and most important mechanism.

What is the difference between pathogens and non pathogen?

The non-pathogenic micro-organisms are considered to be normal flora. These grow in places like the throat and nose. They are 'expected' organisms and are not life threatening to most individuals.

Pathogenic micro-organisms are abnormal flora. In the above mentioned example, a throat culture that grows strep would be pathogenic and the doctor might therefore diagnose strep throat. It does not usually grow in that place.

Not all pathogenic organisms lead to life threatening conditions; however if a person's immune system is compromised even normal flora can be difficult to overcome.

Pathogenic means it is causative for a disease and non-pathogenic means it is harmless....eg: influenza is pathogenic.

What is a response to Alhamdulillah?

A common response to "Alhamdulillah," which means "All praise is due to Allah," is "Allahu Akbar," meaning "Allah is the Greatest." Alternatively, one might say "Barak Allahu feek," meaning "May Allah bless you." The response can vary depending on the context, but generally reflects gratitude and acknowledgment of Allah's blessings.

What does the t mean in t cells?

Thymus

Lymphocytes could be roughly divided into two categories. B cell and T cell.

Though they both originate from the bone marrow, T cell migrate to the" thymus," where it reach maturity while B cell got mature in the bone.

That is, T stands for thymus.

However, B doesn't mean "bone" actually, for B cell was first discovered in the "bursa of Fabricius" in a bird.

Will an antibody produce against the influenza virus lock onto a common cold virus?

No because an antibody is produced for that specific pathogen. An antibody produced against influenza will not lock onto a common cold virus because the binding site on the virus is different compared to that of an antibody.
