Maritza Tinoco Mrs. Bowers HNC Disease Project 16 March 2017 Severe Combined Immune Deficiency is a primary immune deficiency that has a defining characteristic of a severe defect in both the T- and B- lymphocyte systems. This deficiency results in the onset of one or more serious infections within the first couple months of life. It may include pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ and bloodstream infections. This disease was first reported in 1950 in Switzerland and is best known from 1980s news stories about

that cause disease (antigens). The cells in the system are leukocytes (white blood cells) called phagocytes and lymphocytes. Phagocytes are the first line of defence‚ providing a general barrier against antigens. Leukocytes are more focused and are a second line of defence against specific antigens. T-lymphocytes (T-cells) attack anything carrying disease in the body. B-lymphocytes (B-cells) are tuned to a particular antigen‚ and produce antibodies to destroy them. Immunosuppression is a reduction

Wilson Unit 3 Option 2 – HS130-05 Discuss the morphology of the lymphatic system. Also‚ compare B and T lymphocytes and their roles in immunity. The lymphatic system is responsible for helping the human body fight against diseases and illnesses. This system consists of ducts‚ organs and nodes and transports fluid called lymph. The system contains cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes protect the body from antigens. The ducts of the lymphatic system are the home for B-cells and T-cells‚ these

The primary cells of the lymphatic system are lymphocytes. There are three types of lymphocytes: T cells‚ B cells‚ and NK cells. T cells account for approximately 80 percent of the circulating lymphocytes. They are thymus-dependent and are the primary cells that provide cellular immunity. B cells‚ which are derived from the bone marrow‚ account for 10 to 15 percent of the circulating lymphocytes. They are responsible for antibody-mediated immunity. NK (natural killer)

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is defined as an autoimmune disease (Bishay‚ 2016). The lymphocytes of the body attack the thyroid and affect the functioning of it. This has some serious consequences to the person experiencing this life altering disease (Kırmızıbekmez‚ 2014). This is a disease which affects body’s functionality‚ energy‚ sleeping‚ fatigue‚ metabolism and much more (Bishay‚ 2016). Hashimoto’s takes a toll on its victims and often they can fall into depressed and discouraged states (Lieu‚ 2011)

survives and regains its health. This is because of the presence of antibody and lymphocyte in the blood of an individual that neutralize and attack foreign objects that can cause certain diseases like cancer. In order for us to produce large amounts of antibodies and lymphocytes to suppress foreign objects; we must have an enhanced immune system. The researcher investigated on how to increase the antibody and lymphocyte count to have protection against infectious diseases. Agaricus birporus‚ commonly

The white blood cells can protect the body against the infection. The number of white blood cells and leukocytes are being increased when the person has a bacterial infection. The major types of white blood cells are the neutrophils‚ lymphocytes‚ monocytes‚ eosinophils‚ and basophils. These type of white blood cells are would all appear to be increased a blood count
