Do note that the immune system works alongside many other body systems, including the integumentary system, circulatory system, and the lymphatic system.]]> 2021-03-13 07:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1304975640 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1304993943 Cells that are tasked to fight against pathogens and other foreign cells. There are many types of leukocytes, including granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes.

The Skin
- directlt prevents entry of foreign/harmful substance
B. Inflamatory Response
- certain immune cells quickly reacts to damaged area throughout the body, causing symptoms such as swellings, redness, pain, and warmth
C. Immune Response

Being immunodeficient could either occur once you are born (primary/congenital) or obtained later in life (secondary/acquired).]]> 2021-03-13 08:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1305003542 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1305004483 Being born with certain genes may cause the immune system to react with certain substances in the environment, that are known to be harmless, differently. These substances are called allergens, which can heighten the defense response.

Three common overactivities in the immune system are: asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis.]]> 2021-03-13 08:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1305004483 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1305004549 AIDS is a deadly form of immunodeficiency caused by the HIV retrovirus. The virus, transmitted via unprotected sex or contaminated needles, transcribes its genes in the nucleus of CD4+ cells and multiplies in order to kill the cells off quickly.

Once the pathogens are found, certain WBCs called phagocytes trigger the immune response by sending macrophages to the bloodstream, destroying the pathogens, and sending signals to other WBCs called lymphocytes to clean up any remaining pathogens. Certain lymphocytes like T-cells kill off the remaining pathogens, while B-cells and helper T-cells produce antigens produce antibodies to fight foreign cells.]]> 2021-03-14 06:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1306497726 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314061609 2021-03-16 05:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314061609 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314088895 2021-03-16 06:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314088895 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314091541 2021-03-16 06:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314091541 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314092469 2021-03-16 06:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314092469 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314093432 2021-03-16 06:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314093432 rldong22 https://padlet.com/rldong22/jze2xzw0nhq7mhbx/wish/1314140511 Natural Ways:
