DYNAMICS OF HUMAN IMMUNITY

DYNAMICS OF HUMAN IMMUNITY:  Human immunity is one of the most important and functional systems in the human body and located in all parts of the body.  Despite the fact that we meet microbes on a daily basis and everywhere we are, we also harbor a vast number microbes especially bacteria on and in our different body parts.  In my previous discussions I have been talking about the collectiveness of some of them, and they are termed; The human microbiome.  

The human immunity is a diverse system that is meant to fight both the foreign invading microbes and chemicals and the very microbes that are commensals on and in our bodies.  In our discussion here, we are going to look at what actually happens when we say the body is immune and or not immune to a specific invader.

HOW DO WE GET IMMUNE TO INVADERS?  The very first question everyone need to ask is; How do I get protected from a microbe X, let's say, a bacteria; Streptococcus pneumoniae?   In most cases to be immune to a microbe, we must get exposed to it.  Once the body's immune system recognizes such microbe, it tends to take it as foreign and fight it via the various mechanisms the we explained earlier and, retains a memory on how to attack it.
