Immune+and+Lymphatic+System

=The Immune System=

This system consists of biological structures and processes within all organisms that protects against deceases. <- This picture shows the process in which the immune cells target and destroy the infected cell.

=__History of the Immune System__= Immunology is the study of the structure and function of it's system.

// __**What is the Immune System and what does it do?**__ //
 * The immune system is made of biological structures and chemical compounds. Enzymes are used to help the body protect against harmful bacteria such as influenza or ** ** streptococcus (strep throat). They vary with different sizes from unicelular to very complex structural integrity. **

this is a picture of the Lymphatic system.

__ How does it help protect the body? __ The immune system is like the bodys own personal army. It makes sure everything is in order and that there are no problems. If there are problems then it will try and take care of the problem so it can protect the other cells and organs. However, sometimes the immune system can be manipulated and do harm to the body. Human immunodeficiency Virus (H.I.V) Invades the body and manipulates the immune system to not protect the body from other viruses and any pathogens. The Immune system destroys harmful pathogens and other bacteria by either using "neutralized" bacteria (dormant bacteria) or with anti-biotics.

__ Anti-Biotics __ Anti-Biotics are made up of chemicals, enzymes, and nutralized bacterial cultures. Anti-bacteria usualy comes form the fungi kingdom rather than the protist kingdom. Most anti-biotics are from a certain mushroom or spore; a common anti-biotic is Penicillin. Penicillin is a blue fungi that destroys and prevents bacterial growth.

__How can I improve my immune system?__ There are many ways to improve the immune system and prevent sickness. The most common way is to have a high level of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant which helps prevent humans and many animals from oxdative stress which is caused by oxygen reactant species. Another way to improve the immune system is to avoid the use of over the counter drugs such as painkillers and anti-biotics. If the body continously gets help from medicines and other drugs the body will loose the ability to defend its self from serious or lame pathogens. If a person uses anit-biotics contionously and if the bacteria survives. Then there is a high chance of the next offspring to be immune or highly resistant to the medicine.

//There are many types of sickness' and diseases, Some of these are:// streptococcus, H.I.V, Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax), Trepinema Pallidum (Syphilus), Yersinia Pestis (Bubon), E. Coli, Colostridium botulinum (botox), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (T.B), and the influenza viruses.
