1a) In the normal immune system‚ describe two features of self-tolerance as applied to T cells and B cells (ie. central tolerance‚ peripheral tolerance‚ suppression‚ anergy‚ etc.). Central tolerance is the process which occurs in the primary lymphoid organs of the thymus for T cells and the bone marrow for B cells‚ where B and T cells which recognize and react to self-antigens are destroyed‚ through apoptosis (McCance & Huether‚ 2014). The process were a B or T cell reacts to self-antigen is called

Outline and Evaluate Research into the Relationship between the Immune System and Stress Related Illness There is evidence to suggest acute stressors can cause suppression of the immune system and decrease immune cell functioning. The study by Kiecolt-Glaser et al. (1984) investigated whether the stress of taking exams caused a change in the amount of white blood cells in the blood. Kiecolt-Glaser studied 49 male and 26 female first year medical students at the Ohio State University College

research into the effects of stress on the immune system The immune system helps fight off attacks from ‘foreign invaders’‚ the immune system is a network of cells‚ tissues and organs that help fight off attacks from viruses‚ parasites and micro organisms that enter our bodies that can cause infections and other problems. The idea that all the cells in our bodies have codes ‘tattooed’ onto them that are unique to each of us help us understand what the immune system does clearer. Whenever micro organisms

Outline and evaluate the research into the effect of stress on the immune system During strenuous times‚ our body undergoes many physiological changes in order to aid our survival‚ and this is an inherited function (Canon’s ‘fight or flight’ theory). Stress in small doses‚ in fact is needed and useful to humans‚ however long term stress can take its toll on the body. The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) model was developed by Selye to explain the effects of exposure to stressor. The GAS model consists

(Grande & Mezebish‚ 2008). Skin grafting used to be very problematic because of the body’s negative immune response‚ but with advances in science and medicine‚ skin grafting techniques and acceptance have come a long way. The immune system functions to protect the body against actual or potential disease or illness. Anything not recognized a part of the body it protects‚ causes the immune system to initiates steps to attack the foreign invader. This is a significant problem in terms of skin grafting

In Daniel Gilbert’s essay‚ “Immune to Reality‚” he explores how each person’s psychological immune system plays a major role in allowing him or her to cope with traumatic situations that come up in daily life. The psychological immune system is the mind’s cognitive mechanisms that work subconsciously to make the existing state of affairs more bearable. It does this by allowing the brain to make excuses for negative events‚ which‚ in turn‚ help the troubled individual feel better. Gilbert’s conclusions
