Answer:

The related cell-mediated immune system to the doctor's recommendation is the T-lymphocytes or T-cells

Explanation:

Immunity is defined as the body's ability to protect itself against invading harmful organisms or substances. There are two forms or immune responses by the body, and they include:

1. innate immunity (non-specific immunity): this type of immunity is the one present at birth, they include the skin barriers, phagocytes, mucous membranes, stomach acids (HCl), enzymes etc. This immune response is usually the first line of defense against all invading antigen, hence they are non-speciific.

2. acquired or specific immunity: this type of immune response is specific to an organism or group of organisms of the same species. Acquired immunity are of two types; passive and active

i. passive acquired immunity is gotten as a result of transfer from one organisms that is already immune to another organism. It is a temporal form of acquiring immunity, and it is most commonly gotten through transfer through the placenta, or the transfusion of blood or blood products, where the recipient is protected for weeks or even months.

ii. Active immunity is further divided into antibody- and cell-mediated immunity. In the anti-body mediated immunity, B-lymphocytes manufacture antibodies (chemical immune agents) against antigens and the memory cells store the synthesis pattern, so that for future re-infection, the antibodies are manufactured again.

Now, the second part is the cell-mediated active immunity which is specific to our question. This type of immunity is mediated by T (thymus) lymphocytes or T-cells. T-cells because they originated and grow in the thymus gland. T-cells are further divided into three chief types according to their functions:

a. T-helper cells: this type of T-cells stimulate the activation and activity of other cells to enhance immune response, for example, it stimulates B-cells to produce antibodies or phagocytic macrophages for phagocytosis

b. T-suppressor cells: this helps to down regulate the activities of the immune cells/response, by suppressing its activity. they are beneficial to prevent auto-immune responses, but are detrimental if active in cases of active infection.  

c. T-cytotoxic cells: these cells recognize and destroy infected cells, and also activate phagocytes for phagocytosis or ingested pathogens.

I will recommend that you go and look up pictorial representations of these immune responses and cells, they will help your understanding.

Pamela watches her cat Mr. Big swat his paw at the wall and calls out, "Crazy Big, what are you swatting at; nothing is there."
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a. Cats see low-frequency, low contrast objects better than humans.

Explanation:

Mr. Big is able to see something that Pamela does not see because cats have a wider field view of about 200 degrees while that of humans is about 180 degrees.

Cats eyes have 6-8 times more rod cells, which are more sensitive to low light, than that of humans. Their elliptical eye shape, large tapetum and cornea help to gather light for better vision at night.

1. What is holistic veterinary medicine and science? How does it compare to allopathic veterinary medicine?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:Answer:

Explanation:

1) in "holistic." We take the whole picture of the patient, the environment, the parttern of the disease, the relationship of pet with owner which will enable us to develop treatment using a wide range of therapies for healing the patient, while Allopathic medicine, or allopathy, is a science-based medicine, such as the use of medications or surgery to treat or suppress symptoms or the ill effects of disease.

2) The conditions or problems veterinary chiropractic treatment might be used include degenerative joint disease, acute neck pain, autonomic nervous system problems, weakness of musculoskeletal. It is useful because animal chiropractors examine and treat areas that most times go unnoticed by the traditional veterinary care. By working in conjunction with veterinarians, whole patient treatment is achieved on the animal by chiropractors which restores the pet's optimal health.

3) Essential oils need to be used carefully with animals because without understanding how to use them correctly on the animals, it could become toxic, since the compounds they contain are biologically active, series of dangerous side effects could be caused and also organ damage if not used properly

4)Some veterinarians believe that herbal or botanical medications may be better than allopathic medications in some cases because they use the whole plant instead of one extracted part of the plant which makes the chemical less toxic, harsh, and reduces the amount of side effects.

5) some of the conditions that hydrotherapy might be used for include: Rett syndrome, cerebral palsy etc. it will be a good choice to help treat these conditions because being immersed in warm or hot water raises the body temperature, increasing blood flow around the circulatory system and so alleviating pain. The improved circulation will in turn help to heal injured tissues and rehabilitate damaged muscles or joints.
