Disease A disease is any change, other than an injury,
that disrupts the normal functions of the body. A pathogen is a disease causing agent. The agents of disease include: Viruses, Bacteria,
Protists, Worms, and Fungi.

How are diseases spread? Physical contact Contaminated food and water Infected animals

Koch’s Postulates The pathogen should always be found in the body of a
sick organism and should not be found in a healthy one
The pathogen must be isolated and grown in the laboratory in pure culture.
When the cultured pathogens are placed in a new host, they should cause the same disease that infected the original host.
The injected pathogen should be isolated from the second host. It should be identical to the original pathogen.

Non-specific Immune Response Lines of defense
First Line of Defense The skin and mucus prevents entry into the
body Second Line of Defense Inflammatory Response, White Blood Cells,
and Anti-microbial proteins.

Specific Immune Response PathogenMacrophageT CellB Cell
Antibodies Macrophages engulf the pathogen. The Macrophages bring the pathogen to
the T Cells in order to tell the B Cells to start producing antibodies.
The antibodies then neutralize the pathogens.

Immunity The ability to fight infections by producing
cells that inactivate foreign substances. Active Immunity The body’s reaction to a vaccine. Passive Immunity Antibodies produced by other organisms are
injected into another organism. A vaccination is an injection of a
weakened or mild form of a pathogen to produce immunity.

Allergies Allergies
An overreaction by the Immune System to a harmless substance. Some allergens include pollen, dust, mold, etc.
One dangerous allergic reaction is Asthma. Asthma causes your air passageways to become more narrow, making it hard to breath.

Immune System Diseases Autoimmune disease is a disease that causes
the body to attack itself, because your immune system cannot differentiate your cells and the invading pathogen.
AIDS is and Immunodeficiency Disease, meaning that it attacks your immune system, making it hard to defend against disease. AIDS slowly destroys the number of Help T-Cells

Maintaining your Health In order to stay healthy you should eat
healthy, exercise, rest, and stay away from harmful activities.
A risk factor is anything that will increases the probability of getting a disease.
Some risk factors include the quality of air and water in your community. If your water quality and air quality is bad, then it is not a healthy environment.

Cancer Cancer is a disease where your cells
multiply without stopping and destroy healthy tissue.
Cancer cells form when something goes wrong with the enzyme that controls cells growth and reproduction.
Cancer cells will continue to grow and form a tumor, the mass of growing tissue.
