Journal #2 - Lets learn some new scientific terms!!!!

 

Hello...

These are some top words that I learned from my Immunology coarse this week...😍


Herd Immunity: 

Based on an immunity from an exposure (or vaccination) to a bacteria/viral disease, a population of people with a resistance to spread that disease is what herd immunity is. 

How to remember?

Herd means population - therefore population immunity 


Pluripotential Stem Cells: 

These are cells that are capable of self-replication, regenerate, and develop into germ cell layers during the embryonic develop and then further divide all cells of an adult body. Moreover, these have the ability to generate all progenitor cells.

How to remember? 

Break down the words 😀
Pluri = many 
potential =capacity to regenerate, renew or replicate into a new cell


Hematopoiesis: 

It is the formation of blood cells such as red blood cells (RBC), and white blood cells (WBC) in the bone marrow. It is not limited to the formation of the blood cells but also includes regeneration, and differentiation.

How to remember?

Hemato means blood & -poiesis means formation
