am. Their mission is to travel to the patient's brain and remove a blood clot that has caused the patient to become comatose. During their journey to the brain, the shrunken scientists encounter many of the structures discussed in this lesson and have some dangerous encounters with them. They have to move quickly to avoid being attacked by the patient's immune system, which recognizes them as foreign objects. For this discussion, imagine yourself as one of these scientists. Respond to the following questions from the viewpoint of traveling through a patient's bloodstream in a miniaturized submarine.

1) I would choose white blood cells since their main job is to fight infection (Something that does not belong as a part of the body) But since their is several types of white blood cells the ones too look out for would be the Neutrophils since they kill bacteria by ingesting them. 
2) It would be a Neutrophils blood cell. They are 12-14 µm diameter, and so look bigger than the surrounding red blood cells. There is a single nucleus, which is multilobed, and can have between 2 and 5 lobes.
3)You would also have to watch out for: Granulocytes – cells which contain granules which contain chemicals that are used to kill bacteria and viruses Lymphocytes- cells which attack most of the bacterial and viral infections in our bodiesMonocytes - cells which become macrophages, large cells that engulf harmful particles in our bodies.

Explain how the disorder strabismus affects vision
Andreyy89
Strabismus may cause reduced vision, or amblyopia, in the misaligned eye. The brain will pay attention to the image of the straight eye and ignore the image of the crossed eye. If the same eye is consistently ignored during early childhood, this misaligned eye may fail to develop good vision, or may even lose vision.
