Methods to Control Disease

Methods to control Disease.

Vaccination and immunization

Vaccination


The dead germ (virus or bacteria) which are injected into the body and produce
Anibodies and make the person immune from the attack of that germ is called vaacine and process of injecting vaccine into body is called vaccination The development of immunity
in the body as a result of vaccination or live germ is called immunization

 Edward Jenner  developed the technique of vaccination in 1795 Cowpox pus

is known as vacca. Vacca is a Latin word It neans cow. The term
Vaccination is derived from this word vacca. The vacca or pus contains killed germs
Edward Jenner injected pus into the body of a person.the person developed immunity  against it. He became immune.
the attack of live virus. The individuais are vaccinated at early life for sOme
Diseases. They become immune to such disease throughout their life.
Many diseases like polio, whooping,cough, measles, mumps etc are controlled by vaccination. Vaccine has totally eliminated
small pox . SCientists are trying to develop vaccines against other diseases
lke AlDS.

  • 3. Drugs Treatment and Gene Therapy:


Following drugs and treatment are used against the diseases.

i) Antibiotics:


The chemical substances which kill germs in the body are Called antibiotics.
Antibiotics can kill bacteria. So antibiotics are given against the
Bacterial disease.

(ii) Radiotherapy:

It is used against
cancer. Radioactive materials produce radiations.these radiation are passed through the cancerous cells at regular interval
destroys cancerous (self- dividing) cells. Many centres are present in the world.

(iii) Chemotherapy


It is also used against cancer. Certain anticancer chenmical are applied at
regular intervals. These chemicals kill cancerous cells these chemicals may kill certain normal cell.

(iv) Gene therapy


The replacement of defective gene by a normal gene in the body is called gene therapy.This is a new technique. It is used to repair defective genes. The normal genes are isolated and These genes are inserted into the host cells.in case of bine marrow cancer normal genes are inser in bone marrow cells.

iii) Integrated Disease Management:


The control of a disease by using all methids, as and when required is called IDM. Awareness is produced in the society about the causes and cure of a disease.this is very effective programmer against all the dangerous disease.

Neurotransmitters and receptors

Neurotransmitters and receptors Did you know there are billions of neurons—and trillions of synapses—in your amazing brain? ^1 1 start superscript, 1, end superscript  (No wonder you can learn anything, including neurobiology!) Most of your synapses are  chemical synapses , meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on  neurotransmitters , the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, so...

The Importance of Animal Physiology

The Importance of  Animal Physiology Why is the study of animal physiology important to you and to people in general? Not the least of the reasons is the one we have already emphasized—namely, that a full understanding and appreciation of all the marvels and other phenomena of the animal world depends on an analysis of how animals work. The study of physiology draws us beyond surface impressions into the inner workings of animals, and nearly always this venture is not only a voyage of discovery, but also one of revelation. The study of physiology also has enormous practical applications because physiology is a principal discipline in the understanding of health and disease. The analysis of many human diseases—ranging from aching joints to heart failure—depends on understanding how the “human machine” works. A physician who studies heart disease, for instance, needs to know the forces that make blood flow into the heart chambers between one heartbeat and the next. The physician ...

What are chromosomes?

Image
Chromosome Chromosome During cell division the chromatin material change into thread like structure called chromosome. Chromosomes are also called physical basis of hereditary. On the chromosomes small bodies are located call genes. There are thousands of genes are present in an organisms.Genes are the unit of heredity. These genes contain hereditary character which are transfered from one generation to another by the help of chromosomes. Chromosomes were discovered by a biologist waldyer in 1876. After that in  1908 Sutton identified the function of chromosomes,that they take part in the transfer of hereditary characters.      ( Next post will be about Structure of chromosomes)
