Once Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is in an individual’s system, they are affected for life. HIV attacks the body’s CD4 cells, otherwise known as T cells, which is what helps a human’s immune system fight off infections. If this virus is left untreated, HIV drastically reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body causing the person to gain more infections. As HIV continues…
Our immune system is one of our biggest defenses against illnesses. The virus destroys a type of white blood cell located in our immune system known as our T cells.…
CD4 cells, also known as T cells, are specialized white blood cells that are crucial to the immune response. HIV destroys CD4 cells. The lower the cell count, the weaker the immune…
In 1981, an epidemic of Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Following initial infection, a person may experience a brief period…
It destroys a specific type of cell that is important to your immune system called CD4. CD4 cells are a type of white blood cell. CD4 cells trigger the body's response to infections. If these cells are destroyed ,then the immune system can not fight back and defeat the infections. The disease can be transmitted through needles or syringes that have been used to treat a person with aids.…
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus responsible for causing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The virus leaves the human immune system weak and renders infected individuals vulnerable to other illnesses. HIV has been thought to have originated on the African continent and is becoming an increasing medical issue there. The documentary AIDS in Africa details the rise and impact of the rate of HIV infection and AIDS throughout the African continent. In the documentary, various medical professionals are interviewed for their perspective, and all express concern over the rising rates of infection and lack of resources for prevention in Africa.…
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Ayden M. Edgar Mackintosh Academy Abstract Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a dangerous virus that creates an inefficiency in your immune system. This is bad because then it makes it super easy for the body to get infected because of the lack of helper CD4 T-cells. HIV is the cause of many death in the world and there is still no cure. Without our Immune cells our daily functions, like getting a paper cut could grow an infection and then result in an amputated finger if the infection gets really bad. Human Immunodeficiency Virus Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that uses you T-cells in your immune system as a hatchery for billions of exact replicas of the cell that infected the T-cell.…
The HIV virus attacks and destroys the infection fighting CD4 cells of the immune system. With the loss of the CD4 cells it becomes difficult for the body to fight infections. HIV is a major global public health problem. Two million people annually are newly infected with HIV globally.…
When infectious diseases enter the body the immune system the body uses different types of white blood cells to help fight off the invaders. By fighting back with (Thymas) T- cells (which are responsible for attacking target cells that have been infected by viruses or cells that have been distorted by cancer) and (Bursa of Fabricius) B- cells (which are responsible for secreting substances called antibodies into the body’s fluids. These antibodies then ambush the foreign antigens circulating in the bloodstream while penetrate the cells they are also known to be the most effective weapon against the invaders. The immune system is composed of a network of cells and tissues throughout the body that work together to prevent invasion of infection. When functioning properly, the immune system is designed to identify the issue, kill the invaders and then eliminate the substance that may do harm.…
How does lymphatic functions during good health and bad? The lymphatic system works to protect the body to stop it getting an infection or a virus it does this with the help of cells such as lymphocytes which travels in between the nodes through channels called lymphatic, which meet ducts that empty into blood vessels this is how the lymphocytes enter the blood. There are 3 types of lymphocytes; B-lymphocytes (B-cells), T-lymphocytes (T-cells), Natural killer (NK) cells each of these react differently to kill and remove microbes. The lymphatic system is responsible for keeping the fluids in the body clean and to remove the bacteria and the toxins from it.…
CELLS The immune system is a complex network of cells and chemicals. It's mission is to protect us against foreign organisms and substances. The cells in the immune system have the ability to recognize something as either "self" or "invader" and they try to get rid of anything that is an invader many different kind of cells , and hundreds of different chemicals , must be coordinated for the immune system to function smoothly.…
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that can cause harmful diseases in humans. The most common kinds of bloodborne pathogens are hepatitis B, hepatitis C , and human immunodeficiency virus. These pathogens can cause serious health problems. HIV can lead to AIDS, which is a life threatening disease that attacks your immune system. Many humans around the world suffer from bloodborne pathogens, they can damage many important organs and are spread in many ways.…
HIV/AIDS, or human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is life-threatening disease that affects millions of people throughout the…
