Communicable Diseases: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-3Ju0EX3gQ 3 minutes Caused by direct or indirect spread of pathogens from one person to another. They enter and multiply within the human body.

Pathogens Bacteria (single cell microorganism) They enter the body and multiply rapidly through cell division. Can live anywhere – air, soil, water – some produce toxins. Viruses (genetic material coated by protein) Are not living cells but attach themselves to living cells (hosts) and injects its genetic material into that cell, makes copies and spreads to other cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpj0emEGShQ (3 minute animation of the flu)

Fungi (plant like organisms) Ring worm or athletes foot. They prefer dark, damp environments and invade deep tissue like hair, nails and skin.

How Communicable Diseases Spread? DIRECT CONTACT With People or animals INDIRECT CONTACT Contaminated objects – table, door handles, eating utensils, tooth brush, needles, etc. Vectors (flies, mosquitoes & ticks) – transfers pathogens from person to person Water & Food

Prevention Wash hands Strong Immune System Contact with people, etc. Reduce Stress….. Immunizations Use Food Handling Tips Don’t Share (utensils, make up, combs etc)

The Bodies Ways of Preventing Communicable Diseases Physical barriers (skin, mucus, cilia etc) Chemical barriers (enzymes in saliva and gastric juices) Immune System Response Inflammatory Response Antigen – substance that is capable of triggering an immune response
