Please give details about an immune system problem, for example bee sting allergy, food allergy, the flu, COVID-19, etc). Explain something that is special interest about this immune system problem. give detail about what caused it and what symptoms will occur. give a description of the disease, explain the physiology of what someone would experience with this disease please give as much detail as you cannot apart of a graded assignment****

Answer the following related to the topic of immune defense: a) Sometimes the body can attack its own tissue as if it was foreign. We call these disorders autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own myelin. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the lining of the joints. How do you think each of these diseases would impact the function in the human body? b) What role do other human body systems, such as the digestive system, the integumentary system, and the respiratory system play in protection? Provide an example for each system that demonstrates how a feature, substance, or action of that system helps keep you well.
Which of the following statements is NOT true of a fever?a. Temperature is regulated by chemicals that reset the body's thermostat to a higher setting.b. The higher than normal body temperature impairs the functions of some bacteria.c. The higher than normal body temperature is always harmful.d. The higher temperature impairs leukocytes andantibody production.e. Both c and d. Which of the following statements is NOT true of antibodies?a. They bind to foreign antigens, making them susceptible to being engulfed by phagocytes.b. They serve as specific binding sites on B cells.c. An antibody is usually able to bind to a variety of different types of antigensd. They are composed of two heavy chains and two light chains.
Explain the following concept in human physiology and cite clinical instances, where applicable A. Immunological tolerance B. Hypersensitive reaction
Scenario: You ae a nurse in an inpatient acute care rehabilitation center. Your client is a 55-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with MS. She is determined to learn a much as she can about the treatments available for her disease. The client’s questions are presented below. Your clients asks: “My provider prescribed interferon beta. ” clients asks: “What kind of side effects can I expect from the interferon beta?” Which teaching statement by the nurse is correct SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)bA. Flulike reactions occur oftenB. Interferon beta can cause influenzaC. Interferon beta can suppress bone marrow functionD. Interferon beta can injure the liverE. Interferon beta will put the client at risk for infection
A friend was recently diagnosed with strep throat. One week after his treatment, he redeveloped the infection. In conversation, your friend tells you, “I must have become immune to the drug the doctor gave me!” a. Discuss the validity of your friend’s statement, providing evidence in support of or refuting his claim. b. After further conversation, your friend tells you that he stopped taking his initial antibiotics after 2 days because he “felt 100% better.” Explain how this action might have played a role in the redevelopment of his infection. c. When he returned to his physician, she ordered a test to determine which antibiotic should be prescribed to treat his reinfection. Summarize a test that could be used to obtain this information.
Concerning the adaptive immunity, which of the following statements is CORRECT: a. The adaptive immune response occurs very rapidly b. The adaptive immune response leads to us remembering antigens c. The adaptive immune response occurs mainly in the thymus d. The adaptive immune response is mostly dependent on antibodies e. The adaptive immune response is mostly dependent on the complement cascade 46) Concerning acute inflammation, which of the following statements is INCORRECT: a. localised redness occurs because of hyperaemia b. localised heat occurs because of increased bloodflow c. Release of bradykinins and other inflammatory mediators causes localised paind. swelling occurs because capillary permeability is reduced, preventing plasma recirculatione. Inflammatory chemicals at the site of inflammation act as chemotactic agents

1. In phagocytosis, the digestion of phagocytes is always complete 2. The second line of defense is a specific immune response that responds against a specific type (species or strain) of pathogen. 3. Eosinophils can phagocytize and this is their usual mode of attack. 4. The body’s initial line of defense is made up of chemicals, and processes that work together to prevent pathogens from entering the body in the first place. 5. In general, beta and gamma interferons are present early in viral infections, whereas alpha interferon appears somewhat later in the course of infection. 6. The second line of defense is chiefly composed of external physical barriers to pathogens, especially the skin and mucous membranes. 7. The chemicals involved assist phagocytic cells either by directly attacking pathogens or by enhancing other features of specific resistance. 8. The combination of the barrier function of the dermis including its continual replacement and the presence of phagocytic…
