Why the fingers nails are grow faster than the toenails?
Yes, fingernails do grow faster than toenails.
Why is it important to have a strong immune system?
Immunity is being able to resist a certain disease through preventing develoment of a pathogenic microoranism or by counteracting the effect of it's products.
lymphocytes make antibodies by first getting the antigen marker from a pathogen. Then, using a 'toolkit' of various protein fragments, they use the marker as a 'blueprint' to make the antibody.
What class of food build the immune system?
The two best things you can take to boost your immune system and keep it healthy is Acidophilus (tablets) from your drug store or a health food store. The other is Pomegranate Juice extremely high in antioxidants (the best thing out there.) Buy it pure froma health food section of your grocery store and have 8 ounces every day. Pomegranate juice is thought to have been actually the apple Eve bit into and not an apple. Stay on a well balanced diet with whole grains, proteins (good for the brain)in meats and dairy products (eggs, cheese) eat yogurt, butter is better than margarine, but use it sparingly and Olive Oil is the best oil to use when cooking stir fries, etc. Lots of veggies especially leafy greens such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts as these are good for the colon. Fruits are excellent and many have antitoxidants in them and others are good for digestion and calming the stomach down and also healthy for the colon. Drinking 8 -8ounce glasses water(on a normal day) is a must to flush out kidneys and keep you hydrated and if you are exercising or the weather is hot then drink more water (your body lets you know when you're thirsty.) If you are really thirsty this means your body is already dehydrated.
Who are edward Jenner's siblings?
Edward Jenner was born in Bekeley, England on 17 January 1749. His parents were Edward and Catherine Jenner. He had three children whose names were:
What are the characteristics of an innate immune response?
This is a homework question, do your homework for you. However if you have key bits of the homework you do not understand an ask these as simple clear questions we will answer them.
What is a non pathogen antigen?
Antigens are substances that incite your immune system to respond by producing antibodies. They include both foreign substances, such as pollen, and substances made by the body. Ones made by the body are non harmful.
What is the alternative name for antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment, such as chemicals, bacteria, viruses, or pollen. It could be also called an irritant.
Can the immune system fight off HIV AIDS and SCID?
No. HIV attacks and overwhelms the immune system. In fact, the reason you can die of AIDS has nothing to do with the disease, but rather any sickness you catch with your immune system shot.
No, Vitiligo does not kill you. It just de-pigments your skin. Many people have misconceptions about vitiligo, they think that it is a pre cancerous condition but its not true. Vitiligo is neither a precancerous condition nor it is dangerous to life.

How does the immune system recognize its own body?
By recognizing self from non-self. Every cell in the body carries specific protein markers that are recognized by all immune cells so they do not attack self, at least when the system is operating well.
How do antibodies inactivate antigens?
antibody form a complex like enzyme - substrate or in a lock & key hypothesis manner and in turn activate the other immune cells of body like macrophages , dendritic cells these cells in turn lead to the phagocytosis or digestion of the antibody .
How does the body keep pathogens out?
I'd say nose hairs in your nose, your skin (without cuts), and your T-Cells.
Why doesn't the immune system fight the pathogen that causes aids?
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis, not a disease that can be fought.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV attacks the cells in the body that fight disease and uses them to reproduce. The body's immune response only serves to benefit the virus.
What does rheumatoid arthritis do?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a result of a form of autoimmune disease. The immune system disorder leaves your body unable to determine clearly what is your own tissue and what could be an invader. It mistakenly targets the tissues in the joints as foreign substances and causes inflammation in the area to try to "kill" what it has incorrectly determined is a pathogen. This results in painful swelling that can eventually result in erosion of synovial (joint lining) tissue and bone tissue in the joint and eventually in joint deformity and stiffness. People can become nearly immobile due to the pain of movement. It can also cause inflammation of other tissues, and even systemic (whole body) flare ups with fevers and fatigue. It is a chronic long term disease. Drugs that suppress the immune system are often prescribed to treat it, leaving those with the disorder more susceptible to infectious diseases.
More information:
The synovial membrane becomes severely inflamed. Usually thin and delicate, the synovium becomes thick and stiff, with numerous infoldings on its surface.
Omega 3 fish oils in the diet can help with the inflammation. Other aids in treating the disease include weight loss for less stress on the joints. In some people, food allergies can trigger the red hot swollen joints. When the immune system is suppressed, avoid being in crowds. Minor infections, such as a cold can also trigger the outbreak of arthritis (inflammation of a joint). Keep mobile, walk or swim, or go aqua jogging. Joint protection from even minor injury is a must, also avoid tripping up curbs, falling over stones or stumbling on rugs in the home, etc. Make sure you slowly build up to exercise when your physician says it is okay to do so.
What are two kinds of lymphocytes?
Lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell found in the vertebral immune system.
Lymphocytes can be divided into Large lymphocytes and small lymphocytes when viewed under the microscope. The Large lymphocytes include natural killer cells (NK cells)
There are mainly two types of Lymphocytes.
T Lymphocytes and B Lymphocytes. (these are small lymphocytes according to the microscopic view)
B Lymphocytes have 3 subsets. You can see the attached link for further information.
Identify six actions that decrease the risk of infection and strengthen the body's immune system?
1) Use condoms during sex
2) Limit the number of sexual partners
3) Test for diseases--both partners
4) Maintain monogamy
5) Take care of your health--reduce quit smoking, eat right, exercise, rest adequately
6) Do not share needles with anyone
What are finger nails and toenails made of?
Your toenails and fingernails protect the tissues of your toes and fingers. They are made up of layers of a hardened protein called keratin, which is also in your hair and skin. Your nails' health can be a clue to your overall health. Healthy nails are usually smooth and consistent in color. Specific types of nail discoloration and changes in growth rate can signal various lung, heart, kidney and liver diseases, as well as diabetes and anemia. White spots and vertical ridges are harmless.
Nail problems that sometimes require treatment include bacterial and fungal infections, ingrown nails, tumors and warts. Keeping nails clean, dry and trimmed can help you avoid some problems. Do not remove the cuticle, which can cause infection.
What are the elements of the immune system?
The main components of the immune system are the spleen, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, mucosal associated lymph tissue, and generative lymphatic organs, such as bone marrow and the thymus gland.
Why do antibodies work to kill bacteria but not viruses?
bacteria is complit cell or contain cellular material hence specific antibody riquar as compair to virus is difrance
AIDS cripples the immune system by interfering with activity of cells called?
HIV cripples the immune system by infecting and killing helper T cells (specifically CD4+ T cells), macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells hold crucial roles in the immune system in identifying and destroying antigens (foreign invaders). Over time, this destruction of the immune system causes the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Substances or organisms that are foreign to the body?
Antigens is the term for molecules that are foreign to the body.
