My parts are skin and mucus.
Skin is the largest body organ that protects you from germs. Bacteria,
a type of germ, are one-celled creatures that get nutrients from their
environment to live. Viruses are creatures that must be inside of a
living thing. Fungi are multi-cells, plant like organisms that make
their own food.Protozoa are one-celled creatures that love moisture.
Skin has many parts to it like the epidermis which is the part that you
can see. Another part is the dermis that contains the nerve endings and
blood vessels.also there is the subcutaneous fat. Although the skin is
important so is mucus. Mucus is a very important element in the immune
system. Mucus covers
the genitals, airways, and the stomach. It is a sticky substance that
captures germs it can be swallowed or spit out.If the germ is caught in
th nose then the cilia will move mucus toward the pharynx. Mucus is
yellowish-clear -greenish liquid that is formed inside all of us.
The most common diseases are the flu and the measles. The flu is an
infection that causes the fever, chills, cough, body aches and
headaches. The flu lasts about a week or two. I you have the flu, try
to get some sleep and drink lots of fluids and you'll get better
soon. The measles is a highly contagious respiratory illness, but
is very rare. The symptoms are a hacking cough, watery red
eyes, high fever, and a rash. To decrease the chance of getting these
illnesses then you must get your vaccines.
There are a couple of vaccines that you should get like the MMR
vaccine. You should also get the Varicella vaccine. Also you might want
to get the Influenza vaccine. Although there are many others these are
the most important.
