Defense against disease
Our immune system
2
Physical and Chemical Defenses
Barrier Physical Chemical
3
Physical and chemical defense
Skin – physical Cells are hard and with no gap Dead cells fall off – pathogens go with them Skin – chemical Sweat – acids that kill bacteria Mucus membranes - physical Mucus traps pathogens and washes them away Mucus membranes – chemical Contain chemicals which destroy pathogens
4
Physical and chemical defense
Cilia – physical Mucus traps dust, pathogens, foreign matter Cilia push mucus up – coughing, blowing nose, and sneezing removes materials Saliva and tears – physical Trap and wash material away Saliva and tears – chemical Contain chemicals that attack pathogens
5
Respiratory cilia Cilia in nose Cilia in lungs Cilia in trachea
6
Physical and chemical defense
Digestive system – physical Normal movement of materials through system Digestive system – chemical Acids in stomach Normal digestive bacteria produce substances which kill or harm organisms
7
Inflammation Helps protect the body
wbc produce antibodies to destroy pathogens promotes healing of area
8
Inflammatory response
9
Inflammatory response
10
Defense against disease
Active immunity or acquired immunity Protection a person develops during their lifetime from being immunized Long-lived May last a person’s lifetime Natural immunity – born with Passive immunity Borrowed from another source Mother to child during fetal development and from mother’s breast milk Temporary lasting only a few weeks until a person builds active immunity
11
Immune system response
Using the two readings provided you are to create a concept mapping which clearly shows the components of the immune system and how they are linked together. Using onenote create your concept mapping Use headings from your readings as main ideas look for definitions There should be a definite flow from concept to concept
12
Common infectious diseases
Bacterial diseases
13
Strep throat symptoms Diagnosis Sore throat Swollen lymph glands
Headache Fever Diagnosis Throat swab
14
Lyme disease Spread: bite of infected deer tick Symptoms Protection
Red rash at site of bite Fever Chills Body aches Protection Long pants, shirts w/ long sleeves
15
Bacterial meningitis Description: infection of fluid surrounding the brain Symptoms High fever Vomiting Headache Stiff neck Can cause serious illness and death
16
tuberculosis Highly contagious infection of the lungs
Spread by sneezes or coughs Symptoms Fatigue Weight loss Mild fever Constant cough
17
treatment Knowing which type of bacteria are causing the disease is important to which type of antibiotic the doctor will prescribe
