2. Communicable Diseases

3. What is a communicable disease?
A disease that is spread from one living organism to another or through the environment.
Also known as contagious and infectious diseases.
Can occur when pathogens, microorganisms that cause disease, enter your body.
If your body does not fight off the invaders quickly and successfully you can develop and infection.
- A condition that occurs when pathogens in the body multiply and damage body cells.

4. Viruses

Flu
Viral pneumonia
Viral hepatitis

About 200,000 people are hospitalized because of the disease.
From GH P. 642

6. Bacteria Types: Bacterial foodborne illness Strep throat Gonorrhea
Lyme disease
Bacterial meningitis
Bacterial pneumonia
Tuberculosis
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that live almost everywhere on earth.
Are living things, and live in/on the human body.
Most are not harmful!
Disease-containing bacteria can produce toxins.
-substances that kill cells or interfere with their functions
Can be treated with antibiotics.
Most are harmless; some are helpful (like the ones you digest in your food). There are 10 times the number of bactiera in the gi tract than human cells in the whole human body.
Bacterial cells lack a nucleus.

7. Other pathogens
Rickettsias: Resembles bacteria, and enter the body through insect bites.
Common types: Typhus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Fungi: Are plantlike organisms that can cause disease of the lungs, mucous membranes and the skin.
Common types: Athletes foot, ringworm, vaginal yeast infection.
Protozoa: Single-celled microorganisms that are larger and more complex than bacteria.
Common types: Malaria, sleeping sickness.
Pathogens are organisms that cause a disease in another organism

8. How are diseases spread?
Direction contract
Indirect contact
Airborne transmission

9. Task 1: Mission Possible
Each group needs 1 sheet of paper, 1 balloon, and2 red, black, and blue markers.
When I say go, you may start the mission.
The mission starts with someone blowing up the balloon and popping it.
When the music stops, your must walk away from your poster!
Each group will have 2 minutes to present their posters!
Class will vote on the best poster!
Groups will be ROWS.
Get directions in the balloons.
Spend about 5 minutes doing the activity and 2 minutes per group to share.
Go into the large lecture hall for this!

10. Task 2: Comic Strips Work in groups of NO MORE than 3.
Look over chapter 23, lesson 1-3 for any additional information needed.
You may also browse the web for any creditable sources (.org, .edu)
Create a comic strip about one of the following:
Importance of hand washing.
Importance of keeping up to date with vaccinations.
How viruses or bacteria find their way into the body and what happens when they get their.
You must have at least 6 sections!
*Ask me if you have any additional ideas you would like to make a comic strip about.
*Include mainly visuals and less words- just as a real comic strip does!
*These will be due by the start of class tomorrow!
Design them for elementary students.
Students can work in the large lecture hall or in classroom!
Rubric:
12 pts.
1 pt. per section for pictures.
1 pt. per section for validity of information.

11. Tomorrow…
Communicable disease project!
