It has various ways in defending the host's body through means of natural and adaptive defenses]]> 2021-01-21 23:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112450402 Main Parts mamoooric https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112663434 2021-01-22 02:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112663434 Skin and Mucous Membrane mamoooric https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112663937 The Skin and Mucous Membranes both serve as the primary defense for the body, preventing infection and other pathogens from entering the body through the pores present on the surface. These pores are connected to sweat and sebaceous glands that secrete sweat and sebum (oil) respectively, which keep the ph level slightly lower than normal. By having the ph level at that certain level, it acts as an inhibitor that prevents the growth of certain bacteria. Furthermore, regardless of the protection the skin and mucous membranes give the human body, there are openings spread throughout the body that allow pathogens, bacteria, and viruses to enter and terrorize the different systems and cells of the body.

As stated in the name, non-specific immunity is composed of the body’s natural defenses, these natural defenses are not only limited to the skin, nose hair, stomach acid and so on. Going into the cellular level, there are T-cells called “natural killer T-cells”, these T-cells attack cells and entities that are not native to the host’s body By releasing chemicals that break them down.

When pathogens enter the body and are spotted by macrophages, T and B cells are then alerted and travel to the location to eliminate the threat. These T and B cells contain specific antibodies that counteract the antigens present on the pathogen. After eliminating the threat, memory T-cells come into play; their job here is to create a long-term record of the recent threats through the antigens they possess, in doing so the immune system of the host would be able to rapidly respond to the same threat in the future.]]> 2021-01-22 02:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112667014 Common Ailments mamoooric https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112673627 2021-01-22 02:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112673627 HIV mamoooric https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112675591 Otherwise known as human immunodeficiency virus, it is a retrovirus that is commonly known for it being a sexually transmitted disease; it can be transmitted through other means such as blood via sharing needles. What makes this virus deadly is that it attacks and infects helper T-cells which prevents B cells from producing antibodies to counteract it. Due to this, it can cause a loss of the ability to produce antibodies to fight against different pathogens.]]> 2021-01-22 02:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112675591 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mamoooric https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112677447 It is an autoimmune disease that makes the immune system attack the host’s cells, normally joints are inflamed around the body ]]> 2021-01-22 02:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112677447 Autoimmune vasculitis mamoooric https://padlet.com/mamoooric/bzkxx03hxmyzl1r4/wish/1112678719 It is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and the narrowing of blood vessels, this usually occurs in individuals that already have Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

The effects of this disease is such, those with this disease cannot consume foods that contain gluten, otherwise when gluten is brought into the small intestine, the immune systems responds by attacking, causing inflammation in the process
