The simultaneous actions of the bacteria cause a great disruption in the cells of the body, which interrupt the normal processes of the immune system. The activation of the tcdA and tcdB leads to the release of toxins A and B, which mainly cause cell death (Voth and Ballard). In particular, toxin A induces enteritis and recruits neutrophils, or immune system cells, to reactivate oxygen metabolites; in turn, the neutrophils cause even more inflammation (Voth and…

Kanesha Brown Anatomy and Physiology 251L The University of Southern Mississippi Nervous System What is paraplegia? Paraplegia is the paralysis than can affect all or part of the bottom portion of your body, meaning the legs and pelvic organs.

There are a multitude of different "specific characteristics" for muscular dystrophy. This is because the disease is made up of a multitude of other diseases (roughly 30) that can start as early as childhood. Some will loose the ability to breath or swallow, while others won't be able to walk, however all of those affected by muscular dystrophy will be losing or have weakened muscle mass. The cause of Muscular Dystrophy comes from a defective gene that is most likely inherited but sometimes can…

functions of the endocrine system. These ten functions consist of metabolism, food ingestion and digestion regulation, growth of tissue, maintains a pH balance within the body, stability of water within the body, adjusts heart rate and blood pressure, maintains blood glucose levels and other nutrients, oversees the functions of the reproductive system, controls contractions of the uterus during childbirth and stimulates breast milk, and aids in the effective of the immune system. The releasing…

understanding how mast cell activation plays a prominent role in the immune system is vital to learning how to combat potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. In the course of my research, I came across an interesting link addressing the close relationship mast cells has with basophils & eosinophils. Although mast cells do not occur in the blood, their localization in areas such as the mucosa of the respiratory tract or digestive tract raise serious problems, as a result to their…

are squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, and stromal tumors which is cancer of the muscle or connective tissue. A rare kind of stomach cancer, called carcinoid tumors, develops when cancer cells are found in certain hormone-making cells of the digestive system, or in the inner lining of the stomach. There is different grades when talking about grading stomach cancer. It's from 1-4, 1&2 being low grade and 3&4 being high grade. Low grade means that the cancer cells are well differentiated. They…

The tools used to test this system at the Exploreum did not work correctly. The patient was supposed to ride a stationary bike for 60 seconds while it calculated her calories burned. The bike only had one pedal which made it difficult to get an accurate number. While exercising our…

or damaged cells and if one is located, the macrophage “eats” the cell. After consumption, the macrophage turns into an antigen presenting cell. It then travels to the lymphatic system where is presents the antigens to either the T or B lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells produced by the lymphatic system. The T lymphocytes (T-cell) fight specific pathogens and travel throughout the body. Once infection is gone the memory T-cells remain…

Introduction Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to the health and wellbeing of the population. Antibiotic resistance has posed challenges to the public health community, while negatively impacting the general population (Another sentence of two about antibiotic resistance in general, the increasing trends and some figures). Today, carbapenemase producing-carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) is a group of gram-negative bacteria that are challenging public health professionals…
