1. The three main patterns of hormone secretion are humoral, hormonal, and neural. These hormone secretions are responsible for managing different hormones. Below is a description of each stimulus. • The humoral stimuli are responsible for managing the changes of the blood levels with non-hormone chemicals. For example, if the body was experiencing high levels of glucose, the humoral stimuli would trigger a hormone release from the pancreas known as insulin. Insulin’s job would be to bring the…

with lymphocytic infiltration. Atypical histology does not fit either of the preceding criteria (Hennes, et al., 2008). Interface hepatitis that is present in the liver histology typical for AIH displays characteristic imbalances in the ratio of lymphocytes in the portal tract and parenchyma according to immunohistochemical tests (Mieli-Vergani & Vergani, 2009). T-cells with the α/β T-cell receptor are most numerous, and the majority of the T-cells are CD4 helper cells, while the rest are CD8…

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disease that targets the neuromuscular junction resulting in impaired impulse transmission and skeletal muscle weakness. The muscular weakness may exacerbate during periods of activity while improving after periods of rest, occurring with various severities. Muscles that control the eyes, eyelids, facial expression, swallowing, and talking can also be affected. Symptoms are presented as drooping of the eyelids, called ptosis, blurred or double vision,…

which start in the tissues and drain the excess fluid into larger vessels that will eventually rejoin the blood system in the chest cavity. The lymph has less oxygen and few nutrients and contain more carbon dioxide and wastes. It also contain lymphocytes to help filer any…

Xeroderma Pigmentosum, also known as XP, is a rare disorder identified by aging skin, photosensitivity, pigmentary changes, and malignant tumor development. This affliction received its name from its characterized dry, pigmented skin. The symptoms are caused by an irregularity in DNA repair as a result of cellular hypersensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. XP usually presents itself during infancy and early childhood. Just a few minutes in the sun can cause serious sunburn with redness and…

Johnson presented in relation to the pathophysiology of chronic bronchitis are that the inhaled irritants most likely from tobacco smoking and biomass fuel used for cooking cause inflammation, which may lead to the neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes penetrating the bronchial wall. The inflammation leads to bronchial swelling, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of mucous glands and goblet cells. Mucus is produced, and dysfunctional ciliary also cannot clear the mucus. The airway defense mechanisms…

Breastfeeding has many benefits; nutrients, protection from infection, and helps with the development of the immune and digestive systems . This allows for a healthier infant compared to a formula-fed infant. 1 Breastfeeding reduces health problems, allows for healthier nutritional value, is a lower cost, and more convenient. Not only is breastfeeding beneficial for the newborn, but also the mother. Breastfeeding supports a healthier recovery and reduces the risk of developing some diseases.2…

The immunologic antibody IgE attaches itself to the trigger, therefore a reaction signals the eosinophils, neutrophils and T lymphocytes in the circulation to the airways (Holgate & Sly, 2014). In conjunction, the alveolar macrophages and mast cells, are mediators that trigger an allergic response to environmental triggers, which live in the alveoli (Holgate & Sly, 2014). The immunologic…

Introduction: Immunity is a complex system of study related to expelling pathogenic substances (viruses, bacteria, parasites) from the body. It is separated into two distinct categories: the innate immune system and the acquired immune system. The innate immune system is comprised of the body’s first line of defense which consist of physical barriers and certain cell types. The acquired immune system is more specific, actually focusing in on the individual pathogen in question. Focusing on…

Hernandez, M., Mollo, A., Marsal, J. R., Esquerda, A., Capel, I., Puig-Domingo, M., & Mauricio, D. (2015). Insulin secretion in patients with latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA): half way between type 1 and type 2 diabetes: action LADA 9. BMC Endocrine Disorders, 15(1), 1-13. doi:10.1186/1472-6823-15-1. The authors included 95 total participates diagnosed with either LADA (n=32), T1DM (n=33), and T2DM (n-30) between the ages of 30-70 to study the levels of C-peptide and insulin secretion…
