There are four types of Bacillus anthracis and different incubation periods usually ranging from one to seven days for each one. The first and most common is cutaneous‚ where it enters the body by the skin‚ usually cuts or scrapes. Humans

distribute. These organisms are also less hardy than anthrax is. Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis and its spores. Anthrax can infect people in three different ways. Cutaneous anthrax develops when the bacteria enter your body through superficial cuts or wounds on your skin. The vast majority of anthrax infections are cutaneous. Intestinal anthrax results from eating food contaminated with the anthrax bacteria. Inhalational anthrax occurs when you breathe the anthrax bacterial spores into your

Anthrax Pathogen Info: • Rod-shaped‚ spore-forming bacteria with square ends • Spores are inactive until they enter a live host; can survive for decades prior to infection. • Pathogenicity: • Forms a protective protein capsule to avoid phagocytosis • Anthrax toxin (all from RCSB source‚ Anthrax toxin.‚ other journals that are bookmarked) • Three parts (EF and LF attack signaling parts of cell) • Edema factor (EF) is an adenyl cyclase enzyme. It attacks ATP‚ turns it into cyclic AMP‚ and creates

Lupus is a chronic‚ complex and prevalent autoimmune disease‚ that effects more than 1.5 million Americans. It is a disease that is often overlooked‚ misdiagnosed and misunderstood‚ lupus is a chronic condition that is long-term with periods of activity and then remission. Lupus is a disease that attacks your own body. The immune system is the body’s natural defense against disease. In lupus‚ the immune system‚ which is designed to protect against infection‚ creates antibodies that attack the body’s

When the core starts to raise the heat loss mechanism starts one or two things: “dilation of cutaneous blood vessels or enhanced sweating.”(Marieb 833) “Dilation of cutaneous blood vessels is where the vessels swell with warm blood‚ heat is lost from the radiation‚ conduction‚ and convection” (Marieb 833) Some symptoms for a heat stroke are “throbbing headache‚ dizziness and light-headedness

Having a universally accepted anatomical positional is important to avoid confusion. It creates a reference point so that no matter language or background of different people‚ they can still communicate efficiently. Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy A. Review Figure 3.
