Switches

‘Timely’ or correct time is an important factor in nature. In measles as I have already mentioned certain timely switches initiate or “sets on” certain reactions to channelize the whole ongoing process to next stage towards culmination. Its just like a Computer Flowchart.

• Few number of viruses crossing the LOC of our immune system may be handled initially with no much difficulty but certain number just enough to trigger our immune system to its peak mode .(Switch 1)
• Cell mediated immune system gets initiated. Immigrants moved from blood to lymph nodes. The risk of keeping virus in lymphoid tissues ( may be a nature driven quality) the viruses are pushed off from all vital organs to all sorts of epithelial tissue surfaces. Here the Koplik’s spot appears on the inner surface of mouth(Switch 2)¹
• Fever (Switch 3).Soon after Koplik’s spot is seen fever along with rash on skin appear.(1).

Many such chemical switches can be identified all through physiological and adaptive processes .

1. In a living creature as I have mentioned occurs unbelievable number of reactions and processes in a specific sequences uninterrupted from birth to death.
   (eg: If your body needs energy it creates the sensation ‘hunger’ in you. If the stomach does not get food in time now it reacts as if in crisis causing more signs of uneasiness . If no food is received for long you may notice that the sensation ‘hunger’ subside the uneasiness disappear and you feel as if not in much necessity for food right away. Here the hunger was a sign for demand for energy but the delay in supply had switched on another standby process of production of glucose from the storage, probably liver. Now you may note at this point of time, if you try taking food you can not eat much ,because the body is now tuned to another mode of glucose supply and it has no ‘Crisis’ now) ↩︎
