humoral
Physiology
(adjective)
Of or relating to the body fluids or humors.
Microbiology
(adjective)
Of or relating to the body fluids or humours.
Examples of humoral in the following topics:
-
Humoral, Hormonal, and Neural Stimuli
- The release of hormones can be triggered by changes in the blood ("humor"), by the actions of other hormones, or by neurological stimuli.
- The term "humoral" is derived from the term "humour," which refers to bodily fluids, such as blood.
- A humoral stimulus refers to the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids, such as the ion concentration in the blood.
-
Using Humor
- Take care with the subject matter as sometimes humor can do more harm than good.
- If you decide to use humor at any point in your presentation, it is a good rule to avoid all sexual, religious and racial topics or references.
- The use of irony in rhetoric is primarily to convey an incongruity, often used in humor to deprecate or ridicule an idea or course of action.

Humor
- To answer questions like these, we need to reflect on some features of humor in business writing.
- In general, humor does people good.
- Humor can highlight a message in a positive way and make it more likely to be understood and appreciated.
- Putting humor to good advantage in business writing requires thought and care, however.
- Hold onto them by entering them into your computerized "humor file. "

Active and Passive Humoral Immunity
- The humoral immune response is the aspect of immunity mediated by secreted antibodies.
- The humoral immune response (HIR) is the aspect of immunity mediated by secreted antibodies produced by B cells.
- Humoral immunity is so named because it involves substances found in the humors, or body fluids.
- There are two types of humoral immunity: active and passive.
- Passive immunity is the transfer of active humoral immunity in the form of ready-made antibodies from one individual to another.
-
Types of Adaptive Immunity
- There are two subdivisions of the adaptive immune system: cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity.
- Humoral immunity refers to the component of the adaptive immune response that is caused by B cells, antibodies, and type 2 helper T cells (Th2), as well as circulating mast cells and eosinophils to a lesser extent.
- Its name comes from the idea that blood is one of the humors of the body, since antibodies provide passive or active immunity through circulation in the bloodstream.
- Type 2 helper T cells are included in the humoral immune system because they present antigens to immature B-cells, which undergo proliferation to become specific to the presented antigen.
- Antibodies provide a number of functions in humoral immunity.
-
Humoral Immune Response
- The humoral immune response defends against pathogens that are free in the blood by using antibodies against pathogen-specific antigens.
- The humoral immune response fights pathogens that are free in the bodily fluids, or "humours".
- B cells are the major cell type involved in the humoral immune response.
- Antibodies are the agents of humoral immunity.
-
Adaptive Immunity and the Immunoglobulin Superfamily
- There are two types of adaptive immune responses: humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity.
- Antibodies or Immunoglobulins bind antigens in the recognition phase and the effector phase of humoral immunity.
- Describe the role of immunoglobulins in the adaptive immune response, specifically in humoral immunity
-
The Beginning
- Beginning a speech with a quote, statistic, story, or humor can make the audience feel interested and invested in what you have to share.
- There are many ways to start a speech before segueing into an introduction: beginning with a quote, statistic, personal story, or even opening with humor are all good options, but only if used correctly.
- So be careful, because humor is only funny when it is told right, and humor can sometimes do more harm than good.
- Be sure to avoid all sexual, religious, and racial topics if you open with humor.
- Discuss the best practices for opening a speech using quotes, statistics, personal stories, humor, and overviews
-
Immunoassays for Disease
- The immune system is composed of cellular and humoral elements.
- The humoral component includes complement, lyzozyme, interferon, antibodies, and cytokines.
-
Cell-Mediated Immunity
- Just as the humoral immune response has B cells which mediate its response, the cellular immune response has T cells, which recognize infected cells and destroy them before the pathogen inside can replicate and spread to infect other cells.
- After a virus or bacteria enters a cell, it can no longer be detected by the humoral immune response.
- A summary of how the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses are activated appears in .
- Depending on the cytokines released, this activates either the humoral or the cell-mediated immune response.
