Mutations

- What are Mutations?      -Are mutations helfull or
                           harmfull?
-Well mutations are the    -Well Mutations happen
change of the nucleotide   regularly. Almost all
sequeence.                 mutations are neutral.
                           -Many of theese
                           mutations are repaired
                           by enzymes.
                            - Some mutations may
                           improve an organisms
                           survival(benificial)
Types of mutations

our body.                  cancer are another type
Duplication,Delition,      of mutation that arnt that

inversion are all normal
Mutations that ocour in
our body
Our immune system
         Well what is our immune system?

-Well our immune sytem is used to defend us
humans against germs and microorganism.
-Our immune system helps keep people healthy and
help prevent infections.
- It helps our body's defense against infectious
organisms and other invaders Which is called
immune response
The immune response

          what is the immune response?

- ''the immune system attacks organisms and
substances that invade our systems and cause
disease''

- The immune system is made up of cells, tissues,
and organs that work together to protect the body
From harmfull way.
Helping cells
- Our immune system also have other cells to help
us.

- That is the white blood cell and asleukocytes.

-''Leukocytes are produced or stored in many
locations throughout the body, including the
thymus, spleen, and bone marrow''.

-These also help fight the didease.
Cancer

Types of cancer
                                                - Liver cancer starts off as a
-liver cancer you get these                     tumor and is treated with
symptoms when the cancer is                     surgery,Kemo, or radiation
advanced Later symptoms
include fatigue, pain in the
upper right abdominal region,
nausea, weight loss, jaundice
and loss of appetite

Cancer

-Stomach cancer   Stomach cancer is also
                  known as gastric cancer
                  which afects the stomach.
Our immunes system response to
cancer
-There are three things that happen to the immune
system when you have cancer.
-The cancer may weaken the immune system, The
cancer treatments may also weaken the immune
system or the immune system may help fight the
cancer.
-The cancer goes to the bone marrow where the cells
that help fight infections are made,''This happens
mostly often in leukaemia''. The reason for this is
because blood is made in the bone and when you
have leukaemia you have more white blood cells
than what is needed.
How does radiation treatment weaken
your immune system
- It depends on the lifetyle you live. If you make
healthy decisions your immune system will help your
body fight back. ''Anything, from what you eat,
breath, smoke, drink, drugs (prescription or other
wise), mental condition, who you come in contact
with, can affect your immune system.''
Cancer
- When you have cancer its like a clock ready to
hit 0. There is nothing to do when you get such a
malevolent disease like that except hope for the
best.
- For example african american women have
lower incidence of cancer. Another example is
that cocations have a higher risk of getting
prostate cancer.
