Antibiotics are derived from microbes that work by inhibiting the growth or by killing other bacteria (Tortora, Funke, and Case 549). Usually our body’s immune system is an ample defense by stopping microbes from replicating or killing them. However, sometimes the body can become overwhelmed and that is when antibiotics are used to help out our immune systems. An important dilemma in medicine is the increasing occurrence of antibiotic resistance, which occurs when bacteria are exposed to the same antibiotics…

After much consideration and time to process all of the organ systems in the human body, I feel as if the circulatory system is a significant key element in maintaining homeostasis in the human body. The circulatory system is a vast network of organs and vessels that is responsible for the flow of blood, nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases to and from cells. The circulatory system is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes)…

Composed of various systems, the human body exists as a complex and sophisticated machine that carries out intricate tasks, crucial for life. The most vital of these is the circulatory system. The combination of the heart, lungs, arteries, and veins make up this highly important system. Transporting nutrients and oxygen to tissues and organs, while also discarding waste products remain the main purpose. Three separate systems, the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and systemic all work together with the…

Immune System Monica Salazar BIO1021 Dr. Kimberly Snead McDaniel South University Online We are examining the role the immune system plays within the general day to day operation of the human body. Further examination of the impaired immune system 's profound negative impact on the whole body system, will also be delineated. The human body has structures and processes inside the body that defend against infection and additional harmful foreign bodies. When working appropriately…

an almond shaped part of the brain that is quite intriguing as it has many different types of jobs that help us function in our everyday life. Do not let the size of the Hypothalamus fool you as it plays a huge part in our body’s internal balance system. In this paper I would like to talk about a few different topics on the hypothalamus. I would like to talk about the location of the hypothalamus, what the hypothalamus’s responsibilities are, how the hypothalamus sends and receives messages and…

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Benji Longmore 12/12/15 HIV also known as human immunodeficiency virus is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body 's natural defense system. When someone has a weak immune system as oppose to a strong immune system the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV infects and destroys certain white blood cells. If too many white blood cells are…

Urosepsis is known to be caused by the invasion of the body’s defense mechanism due to an infection. This results in the infectious organisms’ infection and multiplying in the blood. It begins with an infection of the urinary tract or obstruction of the urine. A UTI is the inflammation of the urinary epithelium caused by stomach or intestinal microbia. Leading cause of sepsis is gram-positive bacterial sepsis, however other causes include gram-positive bacteria, and fungi. If a gram-positive…

recipient; the organ will not cause any rejection. The body can reject the transplanted organ; as a result the body’s immune system will not accept the organ which has been transplanted; therefore it can have an effect on the organ that has been transplanted which is possible. The immunosuppressant drug is needed if the organ does reject the human body; the immunosuppressant drugs acts as an anti-rejection drug which is needed to protect the body from the organ that has been transplanted to reduce the…

Benji Longmore 12/12/15 Mrs. Tucci Human Immunodeficiency Virus “HIV also known as human immunodeficiency virus is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body 's natural defense system.” When a person has a weak immune system as oppose to a strong immune system the body has a hard time fighting off the disease. The HIV virus and the infection that it causes is called HIV. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. One of the major symptoms and by far the worst is when HIV…

“not human”. However, today the word represents “without compassion for misery and suffering”. Animals suffer from pain the same way humans do, so why should they undergo this kind of treatment? Animal testing is cruel and should be eliminated as a means of research due to the fact that it often ends in killing helpless animals. Animal experimentations vary from simple to severe. However, why should there be a severe category when the results and solutions are not guaranteed? The human body and its…
