Carlton, a 6-year-old boy, was playing on a sandy beach with his mother. He began to run along the shoreline when he stepped on

the sharp edge of a shell, giving himself a deep cut on his foot. His mother washed his foot in the lake and put on his running shoe to take him home. One day later, Carlton’s foot looked worse. The gash was red and painful. The foot was warm to touch and appeared swollen. Carlton’s mom put some gauze over the wound and prepared to take him to the local community health clinic.

B. How is this different than the inflammatory response that might occur in an internal organ?

Answer:

A skin infection occurs when there are too many germs for the white blood cells to fight and kill. The WBCs begin to expel chemicals into the wound site and this causes the redness and warmth in that area. The chemicals also cause fluid [plasma] leakage from the blood which causes swelling in that area. The swelling may stimulate the nerves which accounts for the pain.

* Inflammatory response in internal organs occurs when the damaged cells begin to release chemicals like histamine, bradykinin and prostaglandins. These chemicals cause blood vessels to leak, releasing plasma into the tissue and causing swelling in that area.

* The platelets in the blood cell are activated to stop the bleeding from the cut. The platelets also secrete chemicals called cytokines into the blood to start the healing process. They also alert the immune system which release several immune cells which begin scanning for germs in the blood. The macrophages start destroying the germs and disposing off the dead body cells. The T-cells and B- cells receive the signals from dendritic cells, which are activated by the macrophages. The T-cells and B-cells come into action and help the body fight off the germs.

At the site of the injury, swelling occurs due to concentration of different cells and tissue fluids in the area

How to lose weight fast
lawyer [7]

Calories are the energy in food. Your body has a constant demand for energy and uses the calories from food to keep functioning. Energy from calories fuels your every action, from fidgeting to marathon running.

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the types of nutrients that contain calories and are the main energy sources for your body. Regardless of where they come from, the calories you eat are either converted to physical energy or stored within your body as fat.

These stored calories will remain in your body as fat unless you use them up, either by reducing calorie intake so that your body must draw on reserves for energy, or by increasing physical activity so that you burn more calories.

Tipping the scale

Your weight is a balancing act, but the equation is simple: If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. And if you eat fewer calories and burn more calories through physical activity, you lose weight.

In general, if you cut 500 to 1,000 calories a day from your typical diet, you'll lose about 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) a week.

It sounds simple. However, it's more complex because when you lose weight, you usually lose a combination of fat, lean tissue and water. Also, because of changes that occur in the body as a result of weight loss, you may need to decrease calories further to continue weight loss.
