Difference between Immune system and Prostaglandin

Immune system vs. Prostaglandin

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. The prostaglandins (PG) are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds having diverse hormone-like effects in animals.

Similarities between Immune system and Prostaglandin

Immune system and Prostaglandin have 24 things in common (in Unionpedia): Blood vessel, Cell growth, Eicosanoid, Endocrine system, Enzyme, Fatty acid, Fever, Gastrointestinal tract, Hormone, Inflammation, Leukotriene, Macrophage, Mammal, Mast cell, Mucus, Neuron, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Phospholipase A2, Secretion, Semen, Stomach, Tissue (biology), Vasodilation, White blood cell.

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

Cell growth

The term cell growth is used in the contexts of biological cell development and cell division (reproduction).

Eicosanoid

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are, similar to arachidonic acid, 20 carbon units in length.

Endocrine system

The endocrine system is a chemical messenger system consisting of hormones, the group of glands of an organism that carry those hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs, and the feedback loops of homeostasis that the hormones drive.

Enzyme

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts.

Fatty acid

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated.

Fever

Fever, also known as pyrexia and febrile response, is defined as having a temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the body's temperature set-point.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.

Leukotriene

Leukotrienes are a family of eicosanoid inflammatory mediators produced in leukocytes by the oxidation of arachidonic acid (AA) and the essential fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by the enzyme arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase.

Mammal

Mammals are the vertebrates within the class Mammalia (from Latin mamma "breast"), a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from reptiles (including birds) by the possession of a neocortex (a region of the brain), hair, three middle ear bones, and mammary glands.
