HIV cannot fully collapse your immune system, but it can come close. Reason this is a problem is we need the function of our immune system to fight off any disease even ones as simple as the common cold or flu. If you have a weak immune system such as people who have been diagnosed with AIDS (meaning a person cannot fight off simple infections), then even the common cold becomes deadly. So many south African blacks (or anyone) who are infected do not die from HIV, but other diseases that they acquire because of their weak immune systems.
What is Medical field that studies the immune system?
Immunology, which could also be included within the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and endocrine system.
No. If anything, your immune system was more "revved up" because of the flu!
What name is given to the terminal duct draining most of the body?
your looking for the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct. The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the r upper extremity, head and thorax the thoracic duct drains from the rest of the body. Those who don't have a right lymphatic duct lymphatic trunks empty into the veins of the neck

How do T cells and B cells of your immune system respond to pathogens?
T cells's
primary task is to activate B cells and killer T cells. The B cells
searchfor antigens matching its receptors. If it finds such antigen it connects to it, and inside the B cell a triggering signal is set off.
Plasmodium and Trypanosoma
How do you boost horse immune system?
Beta-glucans are a polysaccharide extracted from various fungi including yeast. They are shown to stimulate immune system cells and thereby when taken as a supplement, can help to protect animals and humans from infections.
Is there an over the counter pill to boost up the immune system?
Vitamin C might help your immune system. Plenty of sleep and a balanced, nutritious diet are also important.
To boost the immune system there are many immune supplements, foods and vitamins which will keep your immune strong to fight against diseases and other infections.
Vitamin C is believed to be one such supplement that increases our immune to infections. Vitamin C increases the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies and increases levels of interferon, the antibody that coats cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses.
Vitamin E is also an antioxidant and immune booster, which should be taken regularly. Beta-carotene increases the number of infection-fighting cells, natural killer cells, and helper T-cells, and also is a powerful antioxidant that cleans up excess free radicals that accelerate aging. It also helps a lot to boost your immune system by supplementing your diet with bioflavonoid, zinc, garlic, selenium, and omega3 fatty acids.

Secondary lymphoid organs include the lymph nodes, spleen, and small masses of lymph tissue such as Peyer's patches, the appendix, tonsils, and selected regions of the body's mucosal surfaces (areas of the body lined with mucous membranes).
What are the functions of the cardiovascular Lymphatic and respiratory systems?
the lymphatic system only carries fluid away from tissues
All are a part of the immune system except tonsils thrombocytes lymphocytes phagocytes or the heart?
thrombocytes
What is a large phagocyte that engulfs other cells?
Im pretty sure its the white blood cell. it has receptors on it that match the skins of other cells that are supposed to be in the body. those that aren't it envelopes and destroys
What is a small bean shaped oragan that removes pathogens and dead cells from the lymph?
Kindeys filter the blood and remove pathogens and dead cells through urine. The immune system is a system of lymph nodes, for example the tonsals.
Does the lymphatic system transport oxygen?
No, the lymphatic system does not transport oxygen. Its primary functions include the transport of lymph, a fluid that contains white blood cells, and the removal of waste products and excess fluids from tissues. Oxygen transport is primarily the role of the circulatory system, specifically through red blood cells in the bloodstream.
