what affect does coronavirus have on our bodies
ANSWER-
The virus spreads through droplets and get transmitted into the
air from coughing or sneezing in people, which people nearby may
take in through their nose, mouth, or eyes (exposed parts ). The
viral particles in these droplets travel so quickly to the back of
your nasal passages and the mucous membranes in the back of
throats, then attaches to a particular receptors in cells.
Coronavirus particles contains spiked-proteins sticking out from
the surfaces, and hook onto the cell membranes, allowing the
virus’s genetic material to enter into cells. That genetic material
then move towards to “hijack the metabolism of the cell. As copies
of the virus multiplies, they then burst out and infects neighbour
cells. Then symptoms generaly start in the back of throat with a
sore throat and dry cough. The virus then moves down to the
bronchial tubes. When the infection reaches the lungs, their mucous
membranes become inflamed. Which can damage the alveoli and lung
sacs, and then they have to work harder to get their function of
supplying oxygen to the blood which circulates throughout our body
and removes CO2 from the blood so that it can be exhaled to
atmosphere.
