pressure and osmotic pressure. The lymphatic system picks up fluid that leaks out of the capillaries and returns it to the circulation. Lymphatic capillaries start in capillary beds Lymphatic capillaries snake their way through capillary beds to pick up the excess fluid and return it back to the venous circulation. As fluid pressure increases‚ it forces open little flaps in the lymphatic capillaries‚ and the excess fluid enters the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Vessels Lymphatic capillaries

The nervous system is the most important system in the body. It transmits impulses to and from the brain. Disruption of the nerve cells and fibers that transmit the messages severely impairs the body’s ability to carry out complex function. Once a disruption occurs‚ one may never recover and neurological function will steadily degrade. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that disrupts this network. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological disease in young adults between 20 and

pathogens‚ and the presence of normal flora. An example of an anatomical barrier is the nasal opening to the respiratory system. This natural opening is a long‚ convoluted passage covered by mucous membranes that trap airborne particles and prevent most of them from reaching the lungs. Other anatomical barriers are the skull and vertebral column‚ which protect the central nervous system- few pathogens are able to penetrate bone. The skin also is a major anatomical barrier to microorganisms. The surface

Endocrine Vs Nervous System The endocrine system acts with nervous system to coordinate the body’s activities. Both systems enable cells to communicate with others by using chemical messengers. The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system (blood). They act on target cells that may be anywhere in the body. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system to reach their target

(BRMs) due to their ability to activate the human innate immune system. Activation of the innate immune system occurs through recognition of β-glucans polymers expressed on cell surfaces of certain pathogens which are known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The PAMPs expressed on the cell surface of pathogens bind to complementary receptors called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)‚ such as Dectin-1‚ which initiates an immune response. Conclusions drawn from investigations aimed
