Lymphocytes, which include T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells, are small white blood cells that are responsible for the immune system. B cells recognize antigens through antibody receptors on their surface and are involved in the humoral immune response. T cells recognize antigens through T cell receptors and are involved in cell-mediated immunity. Natural killer cells do not have antigen receptors but destroy virally infected and tumor cells. Other immune cells include dendritic cells, which present antigens; macrophages, which phagocytose pathogens; monocytes, which differentiate into macrophages; and platelets, which form blood clots. Together, these cells protect the body through innate and adaptive immunity.

The bone marrow is the wellspring of numerous immune and blood cells.pdfanitasahani11
The bone marrow is the wellspring of numerous immune and blood cells in the solid grown-up
creature. In the event that the bone is part the long way, a stamped contrast in tissue is taken
note. Part of the tissue is red, which is the wellspring of red and white platelets. The other bit is
yellow fat tissue that is idle. Amid a contamination, the yellow marrow can be reactivated to
wind up red marrow to help in the generation of bigger quantities of safe cells.
In the grown-up creature, every single insusceptible cell begin from hematopoietic
undifferentiated organisms situated in the bone marrow. Stems cells always isolate and separate
into different sorts of resistant cells affected by cytokines. the starting point of the cells of the
resistant framework. Cytokines are little flagging proteins that direct the conduct of the cells of
the body. The bone marrow is at last in charge of the union of eight sorts of cells: red platelets,
platelets, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, pole cells, monocytes/macrophages, T lymphocytes
and B lymphocytes. Some of these cell sorts develop in the bone marrow itself, while others
relocate through the circulatory framework and experience last development in different tissues.
Now, we will investigate quickly at a portion of the components of the cells made in the bone
marrow as a prologue to their capacity. You will take in more insights about every resistant cell
sort later when we cover particular insusceptible reactions..
The real cell sort made by the bone marrow is red platelets. Platelets likewise shape in the bone
marrow and help with development of blood clumps taking after any sort of harm. Neither of
these cell sorts assumes a part in the resistant reaction, yet we specify them here in light of the
fact that they likewise start from bone marrow undifferentiated organisms and are basic segments
of the blood.
Polymorphonuclear granulocytes is the general term given to neutrophils, eosinophils and
basophils. The primary portion of the name portrays the presence of the core that is by all
accounts split into various diverse flaps. In actuality, the core is coterminous, yet contains
numerous infoldings, which give it a polynuclear appearance. Whatever is left of the name
originates from the presence of the cytoplasm, which looks spotted. The cytoplasm is loaded
with granules that contain mixes and chemicals imperative in satisfying the capacity of every cell
sort. Polymorphonuclear granulocytes make up 50-70% of the white platelets found in blood.
They last just around three days and must be supplanted at a rate of 80 million cells for each
moment.
Neutrophils are the most well-known sort of polymorphonuclear cells, making up 90% of
granulocytes in the blood. These cells work as phagocytes in assaulting and decimating
irresistible specialists. We will cover their parts in more detail when we examine phagocytes.
Eosinophils make up 2-5% of granulocytes in the blood, however this number can rise
signifi.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Structure and Function of the Cells
of the Immune System
2.
3. LYMPHOCYTES
Small white blood cells which are responsible for much of
the work of the Immune System.
Lymphocytes can be divided into three classes: B cells,
T cells and Natural Killer cells (NKC) .
Mature lymphocytes all have a similar appearance. They
are small cells with a deeply basophilic nucleus and
scanty cytoplasm.
4. B Cells and T Cells
Also known as B cell lymphocytes and T cell lymphocytes.
T cells or T lymphocytes belong to a group of white blood
cells and play a central role in Cell-mediated Immunity.
While, B cells are lymphocytes that play a large role in
the Humoral Immune Response. B cells is an essential
component of the Adaptive Immune System.
B cells spend their entire early life in the bone
marrow. While the T cells, leave the bone marrow at an
early age and travel to the thymus, where they mature.
5. The principal functions of B cells is to make antibodies
against antigens, perform the role of antigen-presenting
cells (APCs) and eventually develop into memory B cells
after activation by antigen interaction.
On the other hand, T cells constitutes 65-75% of blood
lymphocytes. They can be distinguished from other
lymphocytes by the presence of a T cell receptor (TCR)
on the cell surface.
Another key feature of B cells and T cells, includes the
receptors it has in its surface. T cells recognize a linear
sequence of amino acids whereas, B cells the spatial
arrangement of proteins, nucleic acids, polyssacharides
or lipids.
6. Helper T-Cell: assist other white blood cells in immunologic
processes, including maturation of B cells into plasma
cells and memory B cells, and activation of cytotoxic T cells
and macrophages.
Cytotoxic T-Cell: destroy virally infected cells and tumor
cells, and are also implicated in transplant rejection.
Regulatory T-Cell: formerly known as suppressor T cells,
are crucial for the maintenance of immunological tolerance.
Memory T-Cell: are a subset of antigen-specific T cells that
persist long-term after an infection has resolved.
7. Plasma B-Cells: are large B cells that have been
exposed to antigen and produce and secrete large
amounts of antibodies, which assist in the destruction
of microbes by binding to them and making them
easier targets for phagocytes and activation of
the complement system.
Memory B-Cells: are formed from activated B cells
that are specific to the antigen encountered during the
primary immune response.
B1 Cells and B2 Cells
Marginal B-Cells
Follicular B-Cells
8. Natural Killer Cells
These cells lack the marker molecules characteristic
of B and T cells. They comprise about 10-15% of the
lymphocytes of circulating blood.
The role NK cells play is analogous to that
of cytotoxic T cells in the vertebrate adaptive immune
response. NK cells provide rapid responses to virally
infected cells and respond to tumor formation, acting
at around 3 days after infection.
9. NK cells are unique, however, as they have the
ability to recognize stressed cells in the absence
of antibodies and MHC, allowing for a much faster
immune reaction.
They were named “natural killers” because of the
initial notion that they do not require activation in
order to kill cells that are missing “self” markers
of major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
10.
11. ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELLS
These are group of diverse cell types that assists
other cells in the Immune Response.
Cells which do not have antigen-specific receptors.
Instead, they capture and process antigens, present
them to T cell receptors.
These cells include Macrophages, B Cells and
Dentritic cells.
12. DENDRITIC CELL
These cells are immune cells forming part of
the Mammalian Immune System.
Their main function is to process antigen material
and present it on the surface to other cells of the
immune system.
They act as messengers between the innate and
adaptive immunity.
13. At certain development stages they grow branched
projections, the dendrites.
While similar in appearance, these are distinct
structures from the dendrites of neurons. Immature
dendritic cells are also called veiled cells, as they
possess large cytoplasmic “veils” rather than
dendrites.
14. Dendritic cells are present in tissues in contact with
the external environment, such as the skin and the
inner lining of
the nose, lungs, stomach and intestines. They can
also be found in an immature state in the blood.
Once activated, they migrate to the lymph
nodes where they interact with T cells and B cells to
initiate and shape the adaptive immune response.
15.
16. MACROPHAGES
Macrophages are cells produced by the differentiation of
monocytes in tissues. It function in both non-specific defense,
Innate Immunity, as well as help initiate specific defense
mechanisms, Adaptive Immunity, of vertebrate animals.
Their role is to ”phagocytose” (engulf and then digest) cellular
debris and pathogens, either as stationary or as mobile cells.
They also stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to
respond to pathogens. They are specialized phagocytic cells
that attack foreign substances, infectious microbes and
cancer cells through destruction and ingestion.
17.
18.
19. MONOCYTE
Monocytes are type of white blood cell and are part of
the Innate Immune System of vertebrates including
all mammals. Monocytes play multiple roles in immune
function.
Such roles include:
(1) replenish resident macrophages and dendritic cells
under normal states.
(2) in response to inflammation signals, monocytes can
move quickly (approx. 8-12 hours) to sites of infection in
the tissues and divide into macrophages and dendritic
cells to elicit an immune response.
20.
21. PLASMA CELL
Plasma cells, also called plasma B cells, plasmocytes,
and effector B cells, are white blood cells which produce
large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the
blood plasma and the lymphatic system.
They have basophilic cytoplasm and an eccentric nucleus
with heterochromatin in a characteristic cartwheel or clock
face arrangement.
Most of these die after four to five days; however, a few
survive to become memory cells.
22. MAST CELLS
These are cells concentrated within the respiratory
and gastrointestinal tracts, and within the deep
layers of the skin.
These cells release histamine upon encountering
certain antigens, thereby triggering an allergic
reaction.
The mast cell is very similar in both appearance and
function to the Basophil, a type of white blood cell.
23.
24. MEGAKARYOCYTE
It is a bone marrow cell responsible for the
production of blood thrombocytes (platelets), which
are necessary for normal blood clotting.
Megakaryocytes are 10 to 15 times larger than a
typical red blood cell, averaging 50-100 μm in
diameter.
25.
26. RED BLOOD CELL
It is also called “Erythrocytes” and has two functions:
1.) To pick up oxygen from the lungs and deliver it to tissues
elsewhere.
2.) To pick up carbon dioxide from other tissues and unload it in the
lungs.
An erythrocyte is a disc-shaped cell with a thick rim and a thin
sunken centre.
RBCs are incapable of aerobic respiration, preventing them from
consuming the oxygen they transport because they lose nearly all
their inner cellular components during maturation.
27.
28. WHITE BLOOD CELL
White blood cells are also known as leukocytes. They
can be divided into granulocytes and agranulocytes.
The former have cytoplasms that contain organelles
that appear as coloured granules through light
microscopy, hence their name. Granulocytes consist of
neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. In contrast,
agranulocytes do not contain granules. They consist of
lymphocytes and monocytes.
29. NEUTROPHILS
These cells are the most abundant type of white
blood cells in mammals and form an essential part
of the innate immune system.
In general, they are referred to as
either neutrophils or polymorphonuclear neutrophils,
and are subdivided into segmented neutrophils
and banded neutrophils.
30. Neutrophils are normally found in the blood stream.
During the beginning (acute) phase of inflammation,
particularly as a result of bacterial infection,
environmental exposure, and some cancers.
They are the predominant cells in pus, accounting
for its whitish/yellowish appearance.
Neutrophils are recruited to the site of injury within
minutes following trauma and are the hallmark of
acute inflammation.
31. EOSINOPHILS
These cells are white blood cells that are one of
the immune system components responsible for
combating multicellular parasites and
certain infections in vertebrates.
Along with mast cells, they also control mechanisms
associated with allergy and asthma. They
are granulocytes that develop during hematopoiesis
in the bone marrow before migrating into blood.
32. BASOPHIL
The name comes from the fact that these
leukocytes are basophilic; they are susceptible
to staining by basic dyes.
Basophils contain large cytoplasmic granules which
obscure the cell nucleus under the microscope.
However, when unstained, the nucleus is visible
and it usually has 2 lobes.
33.
34. PLATELET
Platelets are small fragments of bone marrow cells and
are therefore not really classified as cells themselves.
Platelets have the following functions:
Secrete vasoconstrictors which constrict blood vessels,
causing vascular spasms in broken blood vessels, Form
temporary platelet plugs to stop bleeding,
Secrete procoagulants (clotting factors) to promote
blood clotting, Dissolve blood clots when they are no
longer needed, Digest and destroy bacteria, Secrete
chemicals that attract neutrophils and monocytes to
sites of inflammation and Secrete growth factors to
maintain the linings of blood vessels.
