Lympathic-Immune System
Lymphatic and Immune system are our germ fighter systems! Skin protects us from foreign substances, bones to protect our organs and support the muscles and for the Immune and Lymphatic system they protect us against the foreign substances inside our body. There is a fancy word that describes the foreign substances, it is called antigens. Both systems are like our body guards from inside but sometimes, they fight our own cells, which make us become more ill. Lymphatic and Immune system are partners because they are both used to eliminate viruses, bacteria’s, and other substances that cause a person to have illnesses.
Our Lympathic system slightly looks like our circulatory system. The Lymph vessels surrounds our body especially near our necks, ribs and at our pelvis areas.
Lymphatic system and Immune system works together to protect us inside. They both help fight foreign substances that enter our body or antigens. They have the same objective but are differently named because they do their job differently. Our Lymphatic system uses a substance called Lymph, which is composed of Leukocytes and plasma, to fight antigens while our Immune system makes cells, like the killer T cells to kill the antigens.
Our Lymphatic system and Immune system works with the
circulatory and the muscular system. The white blood cells from the circulatory
system help the Lymphatic system. The Lymphatic system has Lymph it is composed
of white blood cells and plasma which is also the part of the circulatory
system. White blood cells also independently help the immune system to fight
against antigens. The Lymph in the Lymphatic system is distributed throughout
the body by using our muscles. The muscle fibers pump the lymph vessels and the
skeletal muscles help the Lymph to flow to the upper parts of our body.
Lymph nodes looks like small beans in our body. When a person has a swollen lymph, it grows bigger because of the infection that is happening in the body.
FUN FACTS!!!!
1. Dieting weakens the immune system
2. Lack of sleep(under 5 hours) is linked to weaker immune systems
3. Antibacterial products may actually weaken the immune system
4. Laughter helps your immune system work properly
5. You need germs to keep you healthy
6. Your immune system sometimes attacks your own cells(Hyperactive Disorder)
7. Stress damages your immune system
8. Too much sun (to the point of sunburn) can harm your immune system
9. Fever and inflammation is a good thing, it means that your immune system is properly working.
10. A drop of blood may contain 25,000 white blood cells.

Researchers Make Human Flu Antibodies at Record Speed Lympathic and Immune system

The author states in this article that researchers found a way to use monoclonal antibodies to fight diseases. This discovery is not ordinary and it is advanced. This is the first time that they made diseased-killing proteins. These antibodies cannot be easily produced and this can replace vaccines. Researchers used B cells, which produce the antibodies, from the humans to cure other people instead the B cells that are from the animals. The author discussed that if the B cells from the animals are used, the body of the human may reject and treat the B cells as a foreign substance. And there is another problem, because the antibodies are produced longer naturally, which let the flu strain to be immune to the antibodies, scientists tried another technique to increase the cells protein output. They tried to place the antibodies form the vaccinated person to the existing B-cell lines which are called antibody-secreting plasma cells. These antibodies that are from B cells are an advance discovery which can lead to the success in human immunity again other diseases other than the avian flu.

Prayer
Father,
Thank you Lord that You did not only gave us guardian Angels but also guards in our body which is managed by the Lymphatic and the Immune system. Thank you Lord, because of these systems we don’t get sick easily. These systems are like our savior Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, He heals our wounds deep in our hearts quickly when we believe in Him. And our system is like You Lord, You protect us and guide us in everything we do. I hope Lord You will not stop loving us and You will keep protect us from any harms and temptations. Amen.
