Question 2

how does pneumonia affect the integumentary system?

Accepted Answer

Pneumonia: The integument is the skin and the mucous membranes.  These structures are not affected as a primary focus of pneumonia, which is an inflammation of the lungs involving the air spaces (alveoli) and the tissues separating them (intraalveolar septi). Not entirely sure what you are asking beyond this.  Please rephrase the question if I have not answered you satisfactorily.

Question 3

how can  hemophilia affect the integumentary system?

Accepted Answer

Bruising...: Hemophilia is a defect in your blood's ability to clot properly. If this coagulation system is not working well, as happens in hemophilia, a person can have excessive bleeding and bruising. The skin itself (part of the integumentary system) is fine, but hemophilia can manifest itself as large bruises under the skin and excessive bleeding from a cut in the skin.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

See answer: Rejection occurs when the immune system recognizes the transplanted cells as foreign or "non-self". Lymphocytes called Killer T cells, together white blood cells called Phagocytes, antibody produced by lymphocytes called B cells and proteins of the Complement system all combine to destroy the transplanted organ. If the organ is a perfect match such as from a twin rejection doesn't occur.

Question 6

what can happen if you get to much oragel in your system?

Accepted Answer

Not the best: If you have a previous hypersensitivity to orajel then the side effects can be quite serious. If no previous reaction then there is less to worry about. If you like to eat orajel because of painful teeth then a more useful fix is to see a dentist.
