Immune System Correction
Complete the missing sections of the story below with enough detail to fully tell the story.

1. Florence and Frank Flu are waiting patiently on a door knob for their chance at a pickup. As your hand approaches the door knob, they seize the opportunity and latch on to your skin. What will happen to Florence and Frank as they attempt to find an entrance to your body? (4 points)
The enzymes are released by the skin and will attempt to dissolve their cell membranes.

2. As you enter your kitchen, you snag an orange from the fruit bowl and begin to peel away the skin. When you pop an orange slice in your mouth, Florence Flu slides in too. What chemical barriers will stop her now? (4 points)
An enzyme that is containing saliva, stomach acid and mucus may try and dissolve in the cells walls.

3. Florence is dead, but Frank Flu has found a way into your body through a tiny cut on your hand. Which non-specific chemical and biological immune responses could destroy Frank Flu before he replicates? Describe exactly how each of these responses could take Frank down! (4 points)
First and foremost, the white blood cells advance. Next, the Basophils is on the site as the histamines is use to bring the trusty monocytes and neutrophils. Later, the neutrophil travels along and devours frank. Now the monocytes turn into cell eaters who decide to consume the dead antigens and neutrophils.

4. Your non-specific immunity killed Frank, but not before he managed to infect a cell and replicate. His clones are everywhere and now your specific immunity must take over. List and describe all the components of your specific immunity that will destroy all the Frank Flu clone viruses! (4 points)
The T and B cells comes into play now. B cells use immunoglobulin to grab onto the Frank copies and demolish or balance them. B cells release their antibodies and stimulate the reproduction of more B cells and antibodies. If a T helper-cell identify a Frank the helper-cell release cytokine, which

    The antigen-antibody reaction causes the inflammation and hair loss to occur so that the body can heal itself. Healing includes an interaction at the cellular level that produces resurfacing, reconstitution, and restoration of the injured skin. Platelets clot the injury and then the neutrophils, mast cells, and macrophages swarm the injured area within the first few days. Keratinocytes form on the sides of the wound to prepare for the reconstitution along with granulation tissue. Keratinocytes finally scab and cover over the wound.…

    An important part of the immune system is its ability to differentiate between normal cells in the body and those that appear foreign. This allows the immune system to attack the foreign cells while leaving the healthy cells alone. In order to determine the mutated cells, the immune system uses checkpoints, which are molecules on certain immune cells that must be activated to trigger an immune response.…

    So what happens during the primary immune response is in order for us to be protected from bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances known as antigens. The bodies immune system needs to have a plan in being able to help identify these antigens the body has developed a response. The first would be the primary response which when the immune system comes into contact with an antigen for the first time. The immune system must recognize it and make an antibody against it and then store it in memory.…

    | Immunization is a procedure routinely used to improve the body's ability to overcome infection and protect against diseases caused by infectious agents. It works against a specific disease by training the immune system to rapidly recognize and eliminate the infectious agent that causes that disease, thus resulting in immunity. Protection can be acquired either by passive or by active immunization.Passive immunization involves transfer of antibodies obtained from an immune donor to a nonimmune individual and results in temporary immunity. Currently, antibody-based therapies represent a form of treatment for disorders induced by venoms or toxins and for viral infections. Injections of antibody preparations derived from immunized human donors are used for the prophylaxis and treatment of tetanus, rabies, and pneumonia caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), as well as infections caused by hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, and varicellazoster virus. Monoclonal antibodies are expected to replace preparations derived from human donors. However, at this time, only one monoclonal antibody has been licensed for an infectious disease (RSV infection). Active immunization induces an adaptive, longlasting immune response to a pathogen by introducing the killed or attenuated pathogens or antigens derived from the pathogens into the body. These nonpathogenic forms of the pathogen are the major component of a vaccine. Therefore, active immunization is routinely achieved by administering different types of vaccines. In the past 100 years, the use of vaccines (along with sanitation practices) has dramatically reduced the number of deaths caused by infectious diseases. Administration of vaccines results in the induction of a vigorous immune response, similar to the one that would be induced by natural infection. Vaccine administration may result in antibody responses, cellular responses, or both. A major feature of effective vaccines…
