How does your body's defense system work

1 answer:

6 0

Your immune system uses a huge army of defender cells - different types of white blood cell. You make about 1000 million of them every day in your bone marrow. Some of these cells, called macrophages, constantly patrol your body, destroying germs as soon as they enter. This is your 'natural' or inborn immunity. But if an infection begins to take hold, your body fights back with an even more powerful defence of T- and B-cells. They give you acquired immunity, so that the same germ can never make you as ill again.

I am 21 my blood pressure is 106 over 64. is this normal?

Schach [20]

For a long time, the standard for "normal" blood pressure was 120/80. The current thinking is that a more healthy pressure is actually 110/70. 106/64 is a little lower than the norm but may be totally normal for you. If you become dehydrated it can lower your blood pressure and if your blood pressure goes too low it can cause feeling faint or passing out. If it's never been an issue and your MD doesn't have a problem I wouldn't worry.
