Immune System
The body’s prime defense against disease – causing pathogens or cancer
These have molecules on them that trigger a response of the immune system called ANTIGENS

Multiple Choice worksheet

4. Immune Response
The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders.
Through a series of steps the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease.

5. Antigen
A substance which stimulates the production of antibodies by the immune system which will attack and destroy the foreign pathogen

6. Antibodies Type of protein Produced in response to a detected antigen
Each antibody is unique and fights of specific antigens

7. Lymphatic System
Contains immune cells to protect against foreign invaders
Contains nodes which filter infection

8. Transplants
Sometimes the immune system attacks transplanted organs  “rejection”
Immunosuppresent drugs can be taken to decrease the activity of the immune system
Leaves the patient vulnerable to infection

9. Allergies
Allergic reactions  response to normally harmless substances ex: dust, pollen, cats
 release of histamines
sneezing, hives, swelling,
breathing difficulties
** can take an anti-histamine to relieve symptoms

10. Immunity Active Passive
Infection (production of antibodies which recognize a specific antigen)
Immunization (vaccine)
Passive
Material transmission of resistance
Antibody transfer

11. Make a Vaccine
Obtain pathogen (polio, small pox, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, chicken pox, HPV)
Treat to kill or weaken
Inject into organism
Body makes antibodies and WBC’s to attack
Some WBC remain and remember pathogen  attack quickly if seen again

16. AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Disease of the Immune System – caused by a virus = HIV (Human Immunodeficiency virus)
-- damages immune system by killing helper T-cells
--Inactive for years
--When activated if leaves patient unable to fight infections or cancer

18. Transmission of AIDS:
1. Sexual contact (body fluids)
2. Blood to blood (transfusions, IV drugs)
3. Mother to baby
Over 2 Million people infected!
Prevention of AIDS:
1. Abstinence
2. Condoms
3. No drugs
