Physical : Skin (epidermis + dermis) and mucous membranes 2. Internal: Cell and chemicals that inactivate or kill invaders Adaptive immunity (p.446): The body’s ability to recognize and defend itself against distinct invaders and their products. 2) Five attributes of adaptive immunity (p.471) 1. Specificity: When the immune response acts

very common, most prevalent global infectious disease Tuberculosis (TB) known since ancient times by contributing considerably to illness and death around the world. This Disease is caused by bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (“Tuberculosis (TB) cause,” 2012). Mycobacterium tuberculosis extant many years ago and has been found in relics earlier time of ancient Egypt, India, and China. Among Egyptian mummies spinal tuberculosis, known as Pott’s disease has been detected by archaeologists (Mandal

Exam one Study Guide: Basic Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy- the study of structure Subdivisions: -Gross (macroscopic) – visible to the naked eye, such as surface area, regional areas or anatomy systems -Microscopic – extremely small areas that usually need a microscope to be seen such as cytology (the study of the shape and function of plant or animal cells) or histology ( the study of the microscopic structure of tissue) -Developmental- compared to the evolutional study of something such

Neonatal contamination can be obtained • In utero transplacentally or through ruptured membranes • Within the delivery canal at some point of transport (intrapartum) • From outside resources after delivery (postpartum) In utero contamination, that can arise any time earlier than delivery, results from overt or subclinical maternal infection. Results depend on the agent and timing of contamination in gestation and encompass spontaneous abortion, intrauterine boom restriction, premature delivery, stillbirth

Introduction The study’s objective was to determine the correlation between peanut butter and nut consumption with CVD, including CHD and stroke among women with type 2 diabetes. Another objective they had was to examine whether nuts positively influence the risk of CVD through markers of inflammation or modulation of plasma lipids. The population was composed of 6,309 women with diabetes who were followed up until the year 2002. Methods This was a cohort study, in which the participants were

INTRODUCTION Drug delivery to nervous system is still a challenge to the scientists all over the world because of the vasculature of central nervous system, blood brain barrier (BBB) which acts as the physical barrier to the passage of therapeutic agents. Though, quite a few delivery systems and strategies have been developed for delivering drugs to the CNS for various disorders, most of them are invasive and lack target specificity. Several factors need to take under consideration while designing

Review of literature: Acute respiratory infections are a major cause of human disease and are one of the most important causes of child mortality throughout the globe. Though there are considerable variations in infantile mortality, according to World Health Organization, the lower respiratory tract infections are the second most important cause of death among children < 5 years of age. (Carolina et al., 2012) Respiratory syncytial virus is most frequently detected in childhood illness. Factors

Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System The reproductive role of the female is far more complex than that of a male. Not only must she produce gametes, but her body must prepare to nurture a developing embryo for a period of approximately nine months. Ovaries, the female gonads, are the primary reproductive organs of a female, and like the male testes, ovaries serve a dual purpose: They produce the female gametes (ova) and sex hormones, the estrogens * and progesterone (pro-ges′tĕ-rōn). The
