How Virus Enters The Body And Infection Spreads

It is to be noted that two cells- Goblet cells and Ciliated cells are two kinds of cells where the entry mechanism of SARS CoV2 takes place and the virus begins to attack. Goblet cells are those that produce mucus within the nose and are found alongside the respiratory tract. On the other hand, Ciliated cells are hair like cells that help sweep mucus or dust to the throat.  Now what happens that virus has a lock and key effect. This particular virus has a fatty envelope containing a spike protein on the surface. This protein unlocks another protein (ACE2 ) that is present on the human cell. After this is unlocked, virus enters the human cell. When the virus enters in the cell, it will open up so that its DNA and RNA will come out and go straight to the nucleus. They will enter a molecule, which is like a factory, and make copies of the virus. Thee copies will come out of the nucleus to be assembled and receive protein, which protects their DNA and RNA. There it uses a second protein ca
