Q

Skin

A

largest organ of the body

First line of defence

if there is a break in the skin, it breaks the first line of defence and bacteria and pathogens can get in

Q

Iymphatic system

A

once the pathogen is in the system, we use the Iymphatic system to destroy it.

similar to our blood vessel system.

t’s just a system that goes to our body and it helps transfer things around.

(ex.) When you’re sick, you’ll get those like swollen lymph nodes and that’s the inflammation in your lymphatic system.

are the main disease killers

white blood cells to go and kill the invading pathogen

Q

mucous linings

A

ex. nose

You have all the hairs in your nose which are to stop pathogens from entering and hopefully catching them and then you would blow them out or sneeze them out to get rid of them.

Q

Acquired immunity

A

where you’ve gotten sick, you built up the antibodies that killed it the first time and now that you have these antibodies, you typically keep them for either forever or a certain duration of time, so that if you ever received this certain illness, your body is going to be better at fighting it and the T cells and the B cells are going to be more effective at finding the pathogen and killing it.

Q

vaccines

A

injecting like a dead version of the virus so that your immune system goes kills it and then it has the antibodies now and then those antibodies if you actually ever get it for real are already in your system without you ever having to get sick.

So you don’t have to be sick to acquire those antibodies

Q

anaphylaxis

A

happens when the body keeps trying to attack (allergy) and becomes life threatening

Epipen is a epinephrine or adrenaline and you use it to deal with anaphylaxis.

Q

Variety of illness - Virus

A

Virus:
1. common cold (200 variaitons)
2. Flu (influenza)
3. measles
4. mumps,
5. rubella,
6. HPV,
7. HIV,
8. hepatitis
9. Herpes
10. Rabies
11. Polio

24
Q

antibiotics

A

can be the treatment for bacterial, but not for virus

are not as effective now due to drug resistance (over consumption of antibiotics)

25
Q

Physical Barriers

A

Skin

mucous membranes

cilia lining in the respiratory tract.

26
Q

The Lymphatic System

A

The lymphatic system consists of a network of vessels and organs, including the spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, and tonsils.

27
Q

2 main lymphocytes are

A

T cells & B cells

28
Q

The immune system is remarkable because it can distinguish foreign cells from the body’s cells.

A
29
Q

Inflammatory response is the body’s first reaction to infection or injury.

A

Mast cells in the area of invasion or injury released histamine.

White blood cells are drawn to area and tackle invaders.

30
Q

Two types of responses are:

A

natural and acquired response

31
Q

natural response

A

when your body just instantly knows to react to this thing.

32
Q

Acquired or adaptive response

A

when you’ve seen something before. So your body knows that to attack it.

t’s like when you get something for the first time. It usually hits you the hardest because your body’s not used to it. It took a little bit longer for your body to realize it needs to destroy this thing. Once you’ve had it a couple times or even once you get an adaptive response or an acquired response and you attack it faster.

33
Q

incubation period

A

you have no symptoms but you are contagious.

34
Q

Immunity

A

when you’ve had something once your body builds the antibodies and now you’re immune or or at least have an adaptive ability to attack it

35
Q

immunization

A

helps the body get the acquired immunity a lot quicker

36
Q

pneumonia

A

inflammation and fluid in the lungs.

37
Q

meningitis

A

infection of the membrane covering the brain and the spinal cord

38
Q

strep throat

A

which is a little bit more common.

  • sore throat
39
Q

staphylococcal or staph infection

A

typically present in hospital settings and it’s actually very dangerous because it actually ends up killing a lot of people when they’re older, but it spreads rapidly.

40
Q

Viruses

A

are the most common forms of contagious diseases.

41
Q

antiviral drugs

A

to treat viruses

it’s trying to disrupt this virus and break it down and make it easier for your body to get rid of

However, unfortunately, a lot of them don’t work as well as antibiotics do.

42
Q

HIV and AIDS & Herpes

A

no cure for it - once you have it, they are with you your whole life

However, with drugs and medication, you can limit it to as small as possible so it doesn’t affect you as much and that you aren’t contagious, but you can’t get rid of it

43
Q

most viral diseases

A

are left to simply run their course

44
Q

fungi

A

organisms that absorb food from organic matter

typically not as threatening

Anti fungal drug to kill it

45
Q

Factors Contributing to Emerging Infections

A

Drug resistance

Poverty

Breakdown of public health measures

Travel and commerce

Mass food production and distribution

Human behaviours

Bioterrorism

Climate change

46
Q

Epidemiology

A

is the study of diseases and population.

use statistics and look at outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics

47
Q

outbreak

A

When there’s more cases in a certain area.

48
Q

epidemic

A

is a greater number of cases affecting a larger population

49
Q

pandemic

A

global

50
Q

Methods of COVID-19 Transmission

A
  1. Aerosol
  2. Droplet
  3. Fomite

Respitary track

51
Q

Step by step process of Chain of infection is:

A
  1. Pathogen
  2. its reservoir
  3. a portal of exit
  4. a means of transmission
  5. a portal of entry
  6. new host
52
Q

Immune response has four stages:

A
  1. Recognition
  2. Rapid replication of T and B cells
  3. Attack by killer T cells
  4. Suppression of the immune response
53
Q

Immunity

A

is based on the body’s ability to remember previous encountered organisms

54
Q

Viruses

A

cannot grow or reproduce themselves – require a host to survive and mutate

55
Q

You can prevent infections by:

A
  1. Nutrition and rest
  2. A moderate lifestyle
  3. Protection from excessive distress
  4. Vaccinations
