2
timeline of disease knowledge -late 17 th century used microscope to see bacteria, mold spores, and yeast - late 1800s started to make connection between microorganisms and disease transmission
3
-French chemist - learned that microorganisms cause disease in humans - discovered that microorganisms could spoil wine and milk - invented pasteurization Louis Pasteur
4
- process of heating a liquid to a temperature that kills most bacteria pasteurization
5
AgentDisease BacteriaTetanus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, strep throat, bacterial pneumonia, plague ProtistsMalaria, sleeping sickness FungiAthlete’s foot, ringworm VirusesColds, influenza, AIDS, measles, mumps, polio, smallpox, SARS Disease organisms
6
- body temperature and nutrients help them grow and multiply - can slow down growth and activities of body cells and tissues - causes: tetanus, tuberculosis, strep throat, plague bacteria
7
- infects and multiplies in host cells and kills them - destroy body tissues or interrupt vital body activities -Causes: colds, influenza, AIDS, measles, mumps viruses
8
- can destroy tissues or blood cells or interfere with normal body functions -Causes: malaria, sleeping sickness protists
9
- developed in 19 th century by Robert Koch - used to identify organisms that cause diseases so they can be treated Koch’s Rule
10
-caused by a virus, bacterium, protist, or fungi and is spread from an infected organism or the environment to another organism - spread by direct contact with infected organism through water and air, on food, contaminated objects, biological vectors (animals, bugs, etc.), or other humans Infectious disease
11
- English surgeon - recognized relationship between infections and cleanliness -reduced deaths in patients by washing their skin with carbolic acid Joseph Lister
12
- human immunodeficiency virus - can exist in blood and body fluids - transmitted through sexual contact, reusing contaminated hypodermic needles, or mother to child - cannot multiply outside the body - does not survive long in the environment HIV
13
- Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome - caused by HIV - attacks the body’s immune system - enters and attacks helper T cells, destroys so many T cells that not enough B cells are stimulated to produce antibodies, and body cannot fight infections AIDS
14
-not caused by pathogens - diabetes, allergies, asthma, cancer, and heart disease - not spread from person to person - can last for a long time (chronic) - some can be cured Noninfectious disease
15
- a strong reaction of the immune system to a foreign substance - caused by allergens - immune system usually forms antibodies against allergens - body reacts by releasing histamines that cause red, swollen tissues - treated with antihistamines or injections for severe reactions allergies
16
- caused by levels of insulin produced by the pancreas - Type 1- too little or no insulin production - Type 2- body cannot properly process insulin - symptoms- fatigue, excessive thirst, tingling in hands and feet - can cause health problems such as blurred vision, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, or loss of consciousness diabetes
17
- results from uncontrolled cell growth - can occur anywhere in the body - caused by exposure to carcinogens such as x- rays, nuclear radiation, and ultraviolet radiation - can be related to genes cancer
