but some are and can make us sick. These bacteria are called Pathogens. Pathogens can cause diseases in animals and plants. Some examples of pathogens are leprosy‚ food poisoning‚ pneumonia‚ tetanus‚ and typhoid fever. Fortunately‚ we have antibiotics we can take which help to fight off the bad pathogens. We also have antiseptics to help us keep wounds clean of bacteria and antibiotic soap we use to wash to help keep off bad pathogens. Remember to wash your hands! Are bacteria all bad?

Chapter 16-Lymphatic System & Immunity 1. Explain the functions of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system functions to balance fluid‚ lipid absorption (via lacteals=lymph capillaries) and defense. It removes toxins/pathogens‚ fight infections and transports excess fluid in the interstitial spaces and returns it to the blood stream. Lacteals absorb digested fats from small intestines and transports it to venous circulation. 2. Trace the general pathway of lymph from the interstitial

the skin‚ the first is to prevent colonization by pathogenic strains because they limit the space for other pathogens‚ the second is that they produce vitamins‚ finally‚ it also helps in metabolism. 6) Who does dsRNA interact with Toll Receptor 3 and why is it found in the endosome? (10 pt) Pieces of pathogens (particularly pieces of viruses) do dsRNA interact with TLR-3. Because the pathogens (viruses) are destroyed into pieces in the endosome‚ after they are destroyed‚ they are mainly nucleic acid

PEDROSA MARCH 2013 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study A classic characteristic of human parasitic and bacterial agents is the evolution of routes for transmission pathogens to susceptible hosts. The environment plays a critical role in transmission to humans‚ with many environmental materials serving as vehicles. Microbial contaminants may be transmitted directly‚ through hand-to-hand contact‚ or indirectly‚ via food

lymphatic organs that contain lymphoid tissues. Lymphatic vessels are structures that absorb fluid that diffuses from blood vessel capillaries into surrounding tissues. Lymphatic vessels transport lymph to lymph nodes. These structures filter lymph of pathogens‚ such as bacteria and viruses. Lymph nodes also filter cellular waste‚ dead cells‚ and cancerous cells. The thymus gland is the main organ of the lymphatic system. Its primary function is to promote the development of specific cells of the immune

means the antibodies are produced and complement proteinsC1‚2 and 4 are activated and in turn activated C3. The alternative pathway is when C3 and factors B‚D‚ and P interact on the surface of the pathogen and C3 is again turned on and at this point it is split into C3a and C3b. When C3b binds to the pathogen the inflammation we all know and love becomes present. Fever is a response by the neurons in the hypothalamus in response to pyrogens which are secreted by macrophages and leukocytes. Pain is caused
