What if I told you that there’s one cell in your body that if you don’t have it, you will die? And I’m not saying you might die. I’m telling you that you WILL die if you don’t have it. What is it?

You’re infected. Something harmful is in your body and you gotta get rid of it. In this video, I’m gonna talk about four ways your immune system attacks everything.

This video provides an overview of how monoclonal antibodies are produced. It starts by explaining the role of lymphocytes and antibodies in the immune system, and how these antibodies bind to specific antigens on pathogens. It then...

Part three of our six-part series on vaccinations, supported by the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation, dives into the immune system. We explore some of the ins and outs of this system, how it responds to viruses,...

The video is a lecture presentation on the causes of disease, with a focus on four types of pathogens: viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protists. The presenter discusses each type of pathogen in detail, including their method of...

Blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. White blood cells are our warriors; the army inside our body that protects us from infectious disease and foreign invaders. They make up less than 1% of our...

This live-action video program is about white blood cells. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the term through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

Now we know about a wide variety of bacteria, as well as precisely how they can harm us. So how do they get spread around? How do communicable diseases get from host to host? Let's learn all about this process now.

This video explains the concept of immunity and the role of the immune system in fighting infections. It discusses how vaccines help create immunity by stimulating the production of antibodies and cells that can inactivate harmful...

In this video, we discuss the following:<br/>
[1] the basic anatomy of a<br/> lymph node
[2] how the lymph node mounts an immune response against foreign pathogens in the lymph

A pathogen is a microorganism that can cause disease. Pathogens may be viruses, bacteria, protists or fungi. Examples of bacteria infections are cholera, typhoid, food poisoning and gonorrhoea. Examples of viral infections are the flu...

Pathogens are disease causing microorganisms. They can be spread in many ways; by direct contact, by water or by air. Different pathogens are spread by different mechanisms. How can transmission be reduced or prevented? Depending upon...

The video provides an explanation of how the immune system works to defend the body against infection from pathogens, using white blood cells. It focuses on two types of white blood cells, phagocytes and lymphocytes, describing their...

Vaccinations protect both humans and animals from a wide range of preventable and potentially serious illnesses. With vaccines, we take advantage of one of the most important aspects of the immune system: the ability to develop...

This video provides an overview of infectious diseases and how they are transmitted. It explains the role of the immune system in fighting off harmful organisms and highlights various ways pathogens can be spread, including direct and...

Most of us know about viruses, and that they spread disease. But what is a virus exactly? Is it alive? How does it infect a host? There's a lot to discuss here! Take a look.

This video explains the two main types of immunity - active and passive. Also, the video highlights the importance of vaccines in developing immunity and how they have greatly improved human life. Investigating the Immune System part 6/9
