Immunity can be defined as the “ability to fight off diseases” (MPITB, 2014). An innate immunity means defenses against any pathogen. Adaptive immunity means there’s resistance to a specific pathogen. Innate immunity is also known as nonspecific immunity. It uses the body’s own immune system for defense. Skin that is unbroken or intact is the body’s first line of defense against pathogens. The body’s own natural microbiota or flora is a secondary defense system. Our body’s second line of…

is caused by ultraviolet light from tanning beds and sunlight. The ultraviolet light damages skin cells causing cell mutations which make the cells multiply at a faster pace than normal causing cancerous tumors. The cancerous tumors origin in the epidermis which has the melanocytes from which melanoma develops ("SEER Training Modules." 2015). And can infect other parts of the body (Watson, 2014). In most cases melanoma looks…

This is the problem that arises from years of oppression. When children are made to believe that they will not amount to anything, that is what they are breed to believe. The deprivation of the right education takes away from the belief of the ability to achieve. The years of this deprivation has resulted in the loss of hope. This is proven in Davis’ poem when she states how intelligence is seen as a white trait. As the government continues to deprive minorities of basic funding for education,…

Introduction Cells are the building blocks of the diverse idea we call life, which means that they must be as diverse as life as well. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells make up most of the life on this planet, and vary widely in function, while still sharing some similarities. Prokaryotic cells, although simpler and smaller, make up most life. A nucleoid region contains a loop of nucleic acids known as a DNA plasmid. Prokaryotic cells contain simplified ribosomes which free float in cytoplasm…

more damage underneath each layer of skin. In my paper i 'm going to be talking about the dangers and some serious facts that you should know and worn your kids about if you want them around longer so listen up. The skin is made up of “3” layers Epidermis ; which is the top layer, the Dermis area which is the second layer or the middle layer,the Hypodermis the bottom area of the skin make up. Malignant melanoma is one of the…

children. Conjunctivitis(pink eye) is a common bacterial infection of the eye, it is extremely contagious. Herpes Simplex is a recurring viral infection that often presents as a fever blister or cold sore. Verruca is a hypertrophy of the papillae and epidermis, it is a virus that can be spread from one location to another. HIV/ AIDS is a disease that breaks down the immune system, it can be spread from person to person through blood or through other bodily fluids. Scabies is caused by the itch…

Slice for Salutary Male circumcision; a painful, yet relieving cut made to the reproductive organ shortly after birth to ensure a better life. Male circumcision dates back at least to ancient Egypt but has been practiced in many cultures for centuries, including most modern western cultures; some recent studies found about 77 percent of men are circumcised globally. The overall rate among U.S. males age 14 to 59 is 81 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (John…

When the client is not completely picked up off of the bed, and the skin to drags, shearing is present. Furthermore, friction is produced by two surfaces moving against one another, resulting in tissue injury such as superficial scratches on the epidermis. In the pyramid of pressure ulcer formation, pressure and shear yield higher incidences. The most critical influences that makes a person more susceptible to the effects of shear and pressure is immobility. The immobile client is less equip…

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. Recent scientific advances in human stem cell research have…
