the artificial immunity of antibiotics, making the use of vaccines ineffective. The natural immune system takes quite a lot longer for your body to recover and overcome the bacterial infection. Thus resulting in immunity due to the creation of Y antibodies that become immune due to the memory B cells. However the use of artificial immunity such as Vaccines and Antibiotics do not create immunity to the attacking pathogens due to the chemicals used in these medicines attack and immediately kill…

Autoimmunity and the Endocrine System Chad Martin Nursing 631 Grand Canyon University December 12, 2015 Introduction The immune system in the human body is protection. Protection not only from infectious disease processes and foreign bodies but from ourselves. The immune system is great to have when working well, however, there can be unintended and serious consequences when the system fails and initiates inappropriate responses to our bodies own cells. Autoimmunity specifically is the…

Meditation is a viable treatment option for patients seeking to enhance their physical well-being. This paper will provide a theoretical framework on this topic before making its own argument. Everyone should seek to benefit their physical well-being because the majority of individuals are not as healthy as they would hope to be and our physical well-beings are of utmost importance. One approach that a multitude of individuals have utilized to enhance their physical well-being is meditation.…

work together to protect the body. One of the important cells in this system are leukocytes, or white blood cells. They’re stored in the thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. When antigens are detected, cells trigger B-cells to produce antibodies. T-cells destroy any antibodies that have become infected or somehow changed. All of these cells offer the body protection against disease (Nemours 1). These are the body systems the influenza virus affects. According to RapidReferenceInfluenza.com, the…

Lymphatic System’s Role in Immunity The human body has built in defense mechanisms to aid against foreign substances, pathogens, toxins and diseases. The type of immunity used by the body depends on the type of pathogen and whether that pathogen has already entered the body. In cases where the pathogen is inside the body, an internal defense is used to aid in fighting the pathogen. The body may start running a fever or start inflammation to rid itself of the pathogen. In cases where the…

The etiology and pathogenesis of RA are complex and multifaceted. A range of predetermined (genes) and stochastic (random events and environment) factors contribute to susceptibility and pathogenesis.(kelly). The initiation of RA probably begins years before the onset of clinical symptoms. This process involves certain specific genes that can help break tolerance and lead to autoreactivity. It is likely that the earliest phases are marked by repeated activation of innate immunity Cigarette smoke…

then mount a defense against distinct invaders and their products (Bauman 2013). Adaptive immunity has five distinctive attributes: specificity, inducibility, clonality, unresponsiveness to self, and memory. Also it as two components antibodies and T-cells, Antibodies are proteins that are produced by B-cells, circulating in the blood and binding to antigens (substances that produce specific immune responses) on infectious agents. This interaction can result in direct inactivation of the…

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita: The Rare, Acquired, Chronic Disease of Blister Formation Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA) is a rare, acquired, autoimmune disease that produces the formation of blisters on the skin after minor trauma (“Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinic”, 2015). Due to small rubs and strains, blisters are commonly seen on the skin. EBA does not only affect the skin, but it can also affect the eyes, nails, mouth, esophagus, and lungs. (Prabhu, Ramesh, Rekka, Swathi, 2011). EBA…

Rejection cannot be completely prevented; however, a degree of immune tolerance to the transplant does develop. Several concepts have been postulated to explain the development of partial tolerance. They include clonal deletion and the development of anergy in donor specific lymphocytes, development of suppressor lymphocytes, or factors that down-regulate the immune response against the graft. Other hypotheses include the persistence of donor-derived dendritic cells in the recipient that promote…

Two specific tests for HIV include antibody and antigen detection. Conventional HIV antibody testing is done with the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. Positive specimens are then confirmed by a different testing method such as the Western blot test. The ELISA and Western Blot tests are very accurate…
