the study of you
Humans are higher in value than other living things because of this reason
Because God created us in His image
Groups of similar cells that serve a specific purpose are called this
Tissue
This is the outermost layer of skin made of epithelial tissue
The epidermis
This clear fluid that is about 90 percent water is what the lymphatic system uses to carry antigen fighting cells through the body
Lymph
When you get a fire ant bite and it turns red swollen and itchy your immune system is doing this
Fighting an antigen by triggering inflammation
This is the study of mans physical makeup and structure
Human anatomy
This is the most common type of tissue in the body and includes bone blood lymph tendons fat and cartilage
Connective tissue
This is the bottom layer of skin and is the most complex made of connective muscular epithelial and nervous tissues
The dermis
These cells fight antigens by grabbing and holding them in the lymph nodes
Macrophages
This type of immunity happens inside a cell and uses T cells to destroy infected cells through a process called lysis
Cell mediated immunity
This is the study of human life processes
Human physiology
This substance found between connective tissue cells holds the tissue together
The matrix
This brownish black pigment is produced in your epidermis and UV light can stimulate it but too much UV can also cause skin cancer
Melanin
These white blood cells come in two types B cells and T cells and they stimulate the production of antibodies
Lymphocytes
This type of immunity happens between cells and uses B cells and fluids to make antibodies that attach to and stop antigens
Humoral immunity
These are the four types of tissue found in the human body
Epithelial connective muscle and nervous tissue
When tissue of one or more kinds comes together it forms this like a blood vessel
organ
These glands in the dermis release oils fats and waste products called sebum and when they get inflamed they cause this
Acne
This is the organ where T cells mature but it slowly shrinks and gets replaced by fat as you get older
The thymus
These diseases happen when your immune system cant tell your own cells apart from foreign invaders and include lupus arthritis diabetes and allergies
Autoimmune diseases
This process trains your immune system by giving you increasing amounts of what your allergic to until your reactions lessen over time
Immunotherapy
When different organs work together to serve one specific purpose they form this
organ system
These are the three layers of the integumentary system starting from the outside going in
Epidermis dermis and subcutaneous layer
This brain cleaning system was discovered by Dr Maiken and it connects the brain to the lymphatic system while you sleep and is being studied for Alzheimer disease
The glymphatic system
This is when a doctor puts a dead or weakened pathogen into your body to train your immune system so it knows how to fight the real thing if it ever shows up
Vaccination
