The plague bacilli are little toxin factories. The heat of the human body signals the thousands of bacilli injected by the flea to go into a special production. If the immune system manages to kill some, the germs release more poisons from their dying bodies. Meanwhile, they work their way into the fluid drainage system to travel. If the flea bite was on the leg, the lymph drainpipes carry plague to the lymph nodes in the groin.
Insect saliva inactivates blood components and manipulates host immunity The animal blood feeding is an essential event associated with the life cycle of mosquitoes. The female mosquito applies specific strategies for sucking blood from their animal hosts. The mosquito injects saliva at the site of piercing the host skin before drawing the blood. Mosquito saliva is the soup of a complex array of pharmacological agents that perform numerous important functions to facilitate the process of blood feeding [16]. During blood feeding, the damage caused to the host blood vessels usually results in vasoconstriction that may increase insect feeding time due to restricted blood flow to their mouth parts.
Discuss Alternative Evidence to Bennett levy and Marteau’s research. There is alternative evidence to that of Bennett levy and Marteau’s research, there are three examples of this: Rapid learning – Seligman found that 2-4 shocks where enough to create a phobia by linking the shocks to a picture to a snake or spider this is known as classical conditioning. He found that larger shocks where required to create the same type of phobia towards a picture of a flower. The research from Bennett – Levy and Marteau’s research was very different from this because they found that it was the way the animal looked or moved that created fear of the animal, whereas Seligman used classical conditioning and got the participant to associate the picture with the bad feeling (shock). The second example would be: Extinction Öhman found that fears towards a stimulus such as houses or flowers became extinct when it was no longer paired with a shock, and instead the fears became paired with stimulus’s such as spiders or snakes, this evidence is not similar to Bennett and Marteau’s, however it does link into the evidence from Seligman’s research as they both talk about classical conditioning and the association between the stimulus and the shock.
As the name suggests, the female’s breasts were ripped off by using claws which either would be heated or used cold. This torture device was used for women who had been accused of spreading gossip, committing blasphemy, being adulterous or carrying out abortion. This device could also be used to get confessions regarding these accusations. There were many other cruel and disgusting torture devices used specifically for women such as the ‘Ducking Stool’. For these reasons life in the Middle Ages was harsh as there were severe punishments for the littlest offences women were accused of attempting.
It works by affecting the electron transport chain of cells. There are several ways that one can succumb to death by this poison, ingestion, inhalation, and even absorption through the skin. Firstly, in order to understand how Zyklon B causes death in cells, one must understand how the cells work normally when they are healthy. Cells need energy to grow and maintain their functions. In cells, a majority of energy is carried in the form of a transport molecule called Adenosine
Emotional Symptoms: anticipatory anxiety, terror, and desire to flee. Physical Symptoms: dizziness, shaking, shortness of breath, palpitations, pounding heart, chest pain or discomfort, trembling or shaking, feeling of choking, sweating, nausea, dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, numbness or tingling sensations, and hot or cold flash. I believe like some people, that fear of snakes can be accounted to stories, tales, bible and movies and TV shows like Anaconda and Snakes on a plane. These stories are tapping into are deepest fears and these fears meme spreads quickly through or societies, effectively teaching people to fear snakes and this becomes a learned behavior in my opinion. I do think there are ways you can cope with your fear of snakes (Ophidiophobia, herptophobia) and there are steps out there to help you out.
One of the main goals for the Communist Forcers was to demoralize their enemy and cause mass confusion by surprise attacks and other ways of attack. In response to this type of fighting the Americans and the Anti-Communists decided to drop napalm strikes which essentially were a deadly mixture of petrol and a chemical thickener which would produce a thick gel, which would stick to the skin and continually burn, it was reported that the burns would go down to the muscle and bone, these were 5th degree burns that often caused death. One of the main heights that they went to, to counter the Vietcong was the controversial use of “Agent Orange.” Agent Orange is define as “a powerful herbicide and defoliant containing trace amounts of dioxin, a toxic impurity suspected of causing serious health problems, including cancer and genetic damage, in some persons exposed to it and birth defects in their offspring: used by U.S. armed forces during the Vietnam War to defoliate jungles.” The main purpose of using Agent Orange was
Alice Austen views the autopsy of Kate Morgan, it reveals that the dead girl's central nervous system was ravaged, and her brain turned into a ''glassy pudding,'' by some unknown but fast and replicating virus. When two other identical fatalities, a homeless man and an antiques dealers, are reported Austen turns into a medical sleuth, trying to trace the source of the infection to a couple of wooden novelty boxes, each containing a toy cobra that jumps out, spraying a little puff of contaminated dust at the touch of a spring mechanism. After this point of the story where the toy cobras are revealed, the manhunt is on. Dr. Austen begins to find who is doing this and
Disease Research Short Paper [pic]Disease Topic : elephant disease. Etiology it is caused by parasitic worms invading the body's lymphatic system - the network of vessels carrying infection-fighting cells. The worm is spread by mosquitoes, who pass it on when they take blood from humans. The bacteria-containing worms lodge in the lymphatic system, producing millions of minute larvae which spread throughout the bloodstream. It is unclear whether the swelling, or lymphoedema, that occurs results from the obstruction of the lymphatic vessels or from the response of the body's immune system to the worms and the bacteria within them.
