The humoral immune system primarily consists of antibodies, the protein molecules designed to interact with an antigen. When the immune system is attacked with an antigen, anything that is foreign to the body such as germs and bacteria, it will begin fighting. Christine Murphy said, “Antibodies attack themselves to any foreign antigens…
For example, the chickenpox vaccine contains chickenpox virus, but the antigens in the vaccines are dead or weakened to the point that they do not cause disease. However, they are strong enough to cause the immune system to produce antibodies that lead to immunity and attack the antigen. In other words, a vaccine is a safer substitute for a child 's first exposure to a disease. We can conclude that the child receives protection without having to get sick through vaccination…
Kids who have been exposed to pesticides have an increased cancer risk. Parents shouldn’t use those chemicals near children. “They are designed to kill Organisms” said Chensheng Lu of Harvard University. They should also avoid using them where kids play and spend allot of time. They could really cause different diseases to kids. One of the Diseases the Pesticides have increased the chance of kids getting is Leukemia. They just aren’t healthy for kids! Evidence Researchers have studied that…
The rapid global emergence of a baumannii strains resistant to multiple antibiotics has increased the threat to health care systems…
vaccines. Research and scientific facts demonstrate that the ingredients used within many of these vaccines are quite detrimental and in certain cases lethal to the human body. Furthermore, there are alternative ways to protect the body and the immune system against disease rather than vaccines, which…
the vaccinations their children receive are safe and will protect them. Parents should vaccinate their children because, often, vaccines do more good than harm and they do help protect children from dangerous diseases. Children have weaker immune systems than adults and vaccines help keep them safe from many diseases. The common vaccines recommended for children are MMR, which protects against measles and mumps; pertussis, which protects against whooping cough; and polio and varicella, which…
Patients begin to report medications prescribed are no longer effective. While, the drugs continue to have the ability to affect their central nervous system, affecting their respiratory and cardiac systems, these individuals have developed a tolerance to the drugs euphoric effects. Hockenbury and Hockenbury (2014) points out “To lump marijuana with the highly psychedelic drugs mescaline and LSD is somewhat misleading. . . . Low…
“Humans are the only natural hosts of measles virus” (cdc.gov). “The virus typically first comes in contact with host lung tissue, where it infects immune cells called macrophages and dendritic, cells which serve as an early defense and warning system” (sciencemag.org). Then after that these infected cells will migrate to the lymph nodes, transferring the virus to B and T cells. “As soon as it enters the body the virus multiplies in the back of the throat,…
The therapeutic properties of qigong have been found to improve the regulation of the respiratory system, improved the physical function of the body’s self-control, and boosted the massaging effect on the abdominal cavity organs, served to correct the abnormal organ reactions, and improved the activities of the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, cerebral cortex and regulated the metabolism process. Additionally, practices on qigong have shown a considerable amount of improvement in…
can do. This cell isn’t as well-known as others but is an important cell in the immune system. So what makes this cell so amazing? What is unique about this cell? How does this cell do things different than other cells in the immune system? Let’s find out. Mast Cells is a very unique type of cell that is part of the immune system. This Cell is mainly located in the digestive system and in the skin systems. This makes this cell protect the area that a virus could easily get in through like…
