B lymphocytes are the white blood cells that produce plasma cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins that recognize foreign materials and help the body destroy or neutralize them.
The type of white blood cell that secretes antibodies to kill microorganisms is called lymphocytes. The other kind of white blood cell is called the phagocyte, which kills pathogens by engulfing them (basically, "eating" the microbe).
Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.
There are about a thousand times as many red blood cells as white cells.
Consider that the red blood cells (or erythrocytes) in a mm3 (or microliter) of blood number about five million in an average man (a few less in a woman). The white blood cells (or leukocytes) number only 5-6 thousand per mm3 so the ratio is about a thousand fold.
Helper T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune response by coordinating and regulating the activities of other immune cells. They help activate B cells to produce antibodies and assist cytotoxic T cells in killing infected cells. Helper T cells are essential for a properly functioning immune system.
The medical term for the removal of a mediastinal organ is mediastinal organ resection. This procedure involves the surgical removal or partial removal of an organ located in the mediastinum, the central compartment of the chest cavity. It is typically performed to treat conditions such as tumors or infections affecting organs in this region.
The record for most sneezes in a row is held by Donna Griffiths from the UK who sneezed continuously for 978 days due to a rare condition called "sneezing fit."
Sebum, an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin, can help protect the skin and hair follicles from harmful microbes. It has antimicrobial properties that can help fight off bacteria and fungi, thus supporting the immune system's defense against infections.
The inguinal nodes are located in the groin area, near the crease between the thigh and the lower abdomen. These nodes play a role in filtering lymphatic fluid from the lower extremities, genitals, and pelvic region.
High levels of both mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and monocytes may indicate a variety of conditions such as vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, myeloproliferative disorder, or chronic inflammatory diseases. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
The organ you are referring to is the spleen. It plays a crucial role in filtering and recycling old and damaged blood cells, as well as producing new blood cells in times of need. The spleen also stores extra blood cells that can be released into circulation when necessary.
Monocytes Absolute refers to the number of monocytes in a blood sample. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. High levels of monocytes may indicate an ongoing infection, autoimmune disorder, or certain types of cancer. Further testing is usually needed to determine the underlying cause of elevated monocytes.
Based on these percentages alone, it is not possible to determine if someone has HIV/AIDS. Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS requires specific laboratory tests to detect the presence of the virus. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and testing.
The lumen, the half moon white colored parts at the base of the nail.
An 'avirulent' pathogen is a pathogen which is not virulent.
This is similar to 'atypical' which means 'not typical'
answ2. Some poisons such as cyanide are near instantaneous. And some snake venom, but not quite instantaneous.
Pathogens need time to multiply in the host, produce infection products, and then kill. Several hours at the least, several days more commonly.
You know, I'm not entirely sure...
Why don't you test it out and then come back and tell us the answer.
Smoking affects your immune system because when you smoke, not enough oxygen is able to enter your lungs, which can lead to lung cancer; lung cancer eventually leads to death If not cared for properly. Smoking also kills enzymes and causes your immune system to weaken & when the res blood cells are in need of nourishment, [white blood cells were killed for smoking too much] there are no WBC's to aid them.
When applying to a college, the application will ask you many different questions about yourself. They want to know how you see yourself. One such question is to ask what your weakest points are. They want to see how realistic you are about your weaknesses as well as your strengths.
Spermatozoa has sialic acid coat wich hides the antiden,,, plus the uterine endometrium is immunosuppresive
no it is not true that mongooses are immuned to snake venom. They take the risk of getting killed when they attack snakes.
No. Damnit no. I have lived in west texas for twenty years, i'm a pathfinder in the reserves and a border patrol agent. Let me make this clear. No. You can not become immune to venom. The more you try the more likely you are to wind up dead. Snakes are not something to play with.
There are many antibodies passed to the fetus. Any and all that she was exposed to would be passively passed to the fetus. These are passive in that the newborn will have to make his own later in life but will keep him from harm for about 6 months.
