Directly The immune system is designed to defend the body against foreign or dangerous invaders. Such invaders include

Microorganisms (commonly called germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi)

Parasites (such as worms)

Cancer cells

Transplanted organs and tissues

To defend the body against these invaders, the immune system must be able to distinguish between

What belongs in the body (self)

What does not (nonself or foreign) normal immune response consists of the following:

Recognizing a potentially harmful foreign antigen

Activating and mobilizing forces to defend against it

Attacking it

Controlling and ending the attack

If the immune system malfunctions and mistakes self for nonself, it may attack the body’s own tissues, causing an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus).

Describe the interactions of the nervous and muscular system
Svet_ta [14]

The human body comprises of more than 600 muscles differentiated in three classifications, and all are under the control of the nervous system. The activities like picking up a dropped pen or leaning over incorporate the combined effort of various muscle groups.  

The alert mind relays this instruction to the central nervous system that conducts it in the form of electrical impulses. These are then mediated via the somatic segment of the peripheral nervous system to the nerves accountable for monitoring the essential muscles.  

When the signals arrive, a chemical known as acetylcholine gets discharged from the nerve terminals, activating the membranes of muscle fibers and making them to contract. The receptors present in the muscles provide the brain with the instruction regarding the movement and position of the body, the brain monitors the contraction of skeletal muscles.

Is it ethical to make changes to human DNA? What are the dangers of this?
vazorg [7]

Answer: It may be unethical to some people due to their beliefs. But as science evolves,genetic engineering has made it possible for us to modify many things,including human DNA. To me,changing human DNA is ethical. Changes in DNA bring many positive consequences,for example lower the risk of many deadly diseases(cancer/cystic fibrosis,etc). We can modify our features and create "a perfect human". But,there are some dangers that come with this power. For example,DNA modification could go wrong and create dangerous species
