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…

underlying effects on our bodies that we are not conscious of. When listening to music, the autonomic nervous system and respiratory system are affected. As we receive auditory information about the music, there is a tendency to match our breathing with the tempo of the song, which involves a mechanism between the autonomic nervous system and the respiratory system, called sympatho-respiratory coupling (Watanabe et al. 2015). This utilizes neural links with auditory information being received by…

beneficial. Two brilliant scientists discovered this syndrome, they found out what the syndrome is, and how the doctors could start diagnosing patients. Guillain Barre syndrome affects an individual’s nervous, immune and most likely the muscular system. Said by…

How do we process food using the digestive tract? What is the digestive tract? The digestive tract is also known as the gastrointestinal tract, or the (GI) tract. This (GI) tract is a bunch of organs that are mainly hollowed and they twist in a tube-like shape. This tube goes all the way from the mouth to the anus. The organs that make this up is the: -mouth - esophagus -small intestine -large intestine -and the stomach How does it work? Food first enters through…

Probiotic species Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Our large intestine is an advanced ecosystem, where thousands of bacteria proliferate. these Bateria are helpful in absorption of non digested nutrients from the food example starch, polysaccharides, sugars etc. Bifidobacteria is gram-positive, anaerobic and rod-shaped bacteria, that can be esily found in the large intestines of humans and animals (mammals). Bifidobacterium animalis Is a type of the species, which act as probiotic…

function resulting in muscle atrophy, decreased reflexes, abnormal stress to joints, and difficulty walking on toes. The most severe manifestation of motor function is muscle weakness because it can progress to total motor paralysis and death from respiratory failure (Kuwabara, 2004). Furthermore, changes to autonomic functions, resulting in will lead to difficulties gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular, and sweating dysfunctions. Of the autonomic changes, management of…

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Do you know what duchenne muscular dystrophy is? It obviously has something to do with your muscles it causes you to have muscle weakness which can lead you to have loss of mobility. This disease is most effective for males. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a mutation, flaw or gene. It interferes with protein production that is needed to maintain and to form a healthy muscle. Duchenne muscular dystrophy symptoms are diagnosed according to where it is found in the body.…

Influenza virus is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen, contributing significantly to the worldwide burden of mortality and morbidity (1). They are single stranded RNA virus of the family orthomyxoviridae, characterized by specific cell surface proteins Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase(NA) that generate specific immune response. These surface proteins undergo frequent mutations by antigenic shift and drift which may result in generation of novel viral strain, which, in turn result in…

organs. When nicotine is breathed in by the individual, it only takes about ten seconds for it to reach the brain. Nicotine leads to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. Not only does it affect the brain and heart, it also affects the respiratory system, as well. Due to this, individuals who smoke experience persistent coughing and the excessive production of phlegm. While smoking leads to hundreds of health issues, there are, in fact, ways that cigarettes assist in preventing certain…

ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive disorder that is inherited or acquired. It affects motor neurons. Motor neurons are cells that are in the brain, brain stem and spinal cord and their function is to carry an electrical signal to a muscle and trigger it to contract or relax. Medical terminology, a means without, my is muscle and trophic is nourishment. Lateral is pertaining to the side/direction that is affected and sclerosis is an abnormal condition of hardening. It was…
