Immunology

For many generations factors existed in populations that affected evolution. A certain factor that wiped out numbers of populations, causing them to evolve are now known as epidemic diseases. An epidemic disease is described as the spread of newly infectious disease within a population in a short period of time (Elsuier, 2007). Microparacites are the main origin of epidemic disease. The fast reproduction allows them to quickly evolve into pathogens. Pathogens can exclusively affect animals or…

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 immune system is a host defense mechanism that involves a complex collection of molecules, cells, and tissue. The primary function of the immune system is responsible for recognizing and differentiating between harmful and none harmful microbes in the human body. When a human is resistant to a certain disease, that human is known to be immune. The term used to describe an immune individual is referred to as immunity.

When people envision their immune system, they picture an army inside their body fighting off harmful diseases to protect you. One does not imagine the immune system attacking your own body the thing it is meant to protect. Unfortunately, when this happens it causes your body to break down as your central nervous system (CNS) begins to degenerate over time. This ill-fated reality is the result of the chronic disease Multiple sclerosis (MS). Which is an autoimmune disease that causes irreversible…

Grace Lessman HES 1823 March 22, 2017 X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia  X-linked Agammaglobulinemia, or Bruton’s disease, directly targets the immune system. The function of the immune system is to protect the body from harmful cells that may cause disease. The immune system determines whether a cell is healthy or unhealthy. An unhealthy cell is infected, and once the infection is detected the immune system sends cells called antibodies to respond and terminate the unhealthy cells (Primary Immune…

One of the many arguments individuals against vaccines believe is that building immunity through vaccinations is not how immunization would happen in nature. They argue that the chemicals in vaccines are harmful and can potentially develop various other dangerous diseases or disabilities. Often, natural immunity can provide more complete protection from viruses than vaccines, and many parents feel more comfortable leaving immunization up to nature than to risk anything going askew. One common…

There are many diseases that can be caught from simple contact and even airborne. In order to prevent such discomfort or even death, vaccines for immunizations should be…
