Eating Habits - week 1 Flashcards
sterile areas of human body
bone, blood, brain, bladder, spinal cord, kidneys, liver, internal areas of the urogenital system
Organisms-living
bacteria, archaea, eucarya
Bacteria and archaea
Prokaryotes (unicellular)
Algae, protozoa, fungi
Eukaryotes
Viruses-infectious
viruses, viroids, prions
protists
algae and protozoa
Prokaryotic Cell
1 chromosome, only non-membraneous organelles, no histones, binary fission. No nucleus. Cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Eukaryotic Cell
genetic material in nucleus- both membraneous and non organelles, histones and non-histones, mitosis
viruses - external environment
no influence on insect bites, needles, or mucosal surface
All viruses have…
capsid that encloses the nucleic acid genome and they enter and exit host cell following replication. side note - Capsid well organized. All made from freshly synthesized components.
Prion
protein molecule with infectious qualities like a viral genome; no genetic material. just like normal brain protein.
PrPc
cellular form. Present as a membrane protein of neuron surface. normal form, well defined. cellular. Alpha helix.
PrPsc
misfolded, protease resistant. from alpha helix to betaplated sheet. scrapie form. called templating when it changes.
resistant to inactivation at 90ºC
prions
prion transmission
inherited (in germ cell line) , sporadic, infectious. causes paralytic disease.
Rigid cell wall
bacteria
Archae
methanogens, halophiles, thermophiles. Absorb nutrients like bacteria.
have cytoplasm, ribosome and some membrane
bacteria
has RNA and DNA
bacteria
no cytoplasm or organelle
virus
have enevelope
virus
only RNA OR DNA (the genetic material, aka genome)
virus
Fungi
can be uni or multi-cellular, decomposers, chitin cell wall, absorbs nutrients, just like bacteria
Algae
multi-cellular, free living, aquatic, cellulous wall, synthesizes sugar. photosynthetic - cook their own food.
protazoa
unicellular, free living on parasites, no rigid cell wall, ingests organic material. decomposer. paramecium. No photosythesis or absorption of food.
Helminthes
loosely eukaryotic microbes. roundworms, tapeworm and flukes (fish infected). Host can be vertebrate or invertebrate. ie snail. complex life cycle, multiple hosts. causes disease in animals and humans.
microscopic and macroscopic
helminthes
3 shapes of bacteria
cocci, bacilli, spiral
Arrangement of bacteria cells due to…
plane of division and daughter cells remain attached or seperate
Diplococci
2 daughter cells remain attached
Sarcinae
parental cell divide in 3 planes. (methanol barchanea - in ocean) no human pathogens.
2 ways pathogens defend themselves
passive and active
Vertebrates
rabies via skunks, bats, racoons
Invertebrates
viruses- mosquitoes, bacteria-fleas and ticks, protazoans-sandflies, mosquitoes
Entry through mucous
bacteria, helminthes and viruses
entry through respiratory
bacteria-pneumonia, TB, pertussis (whooping cough), diptheria (poison). viruses-flu, measles, chicken pox, Covid
definition of disease
disturbance, impairment of healing
syndrome
variation of disease. group of signs and symptoms associated with common pathology
sequelae
after-effects of disease. polio paralysis
types of pathogens
primary and opportunistic
primary pathogens
disease causing microbes, overcome healthy host, ie TB and solmenella
opportunistic pathogens
only attack when immune is down, e.Coli, yeast
Pnemocystis carinii ( jerovicci)
caused by fungus. in lungs, lethal to HIV patients
Staphylococcus aureus
normal microflora of the nasal cavity; cause wound infection. golden color. random plane of division
CMV - cytolomegavirus
shed in all body fluids. blindness in AIDS patients, asymptomatic in healthy ppl
Symptoms
( subjective - pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue symptoms normally lasts for 2 -7 days
Signs
disease outcomes which can be measured / observed by others - swelling, rash, redness, fever, chest sound, edema, lymphadenitis
Incubation period
time between organism entry into host and onset of illness; evidenced by appearance of first signs
Prodromal period
follows incubation period; usually short- early signs and symptoms (body aches) appear - not clearly defined
Subclinical
few and mild symptoms
Period of convalescence
potential to spread
Dna viruses
SHHH
Hpv, herpes simplex, smallpox and hepatitis B
RNA virus
FPHRCC
Corona, polio, cold, flu, hiv, rabies
Intracellular parasites hijack
Viruses
Toxic ingestion
Salmonella and cloistridium botulism
Particles side a genome protein coat
Viruses. protein and neuclic acid genome
Prokaryote with membrane
Vitriocholerea - 2 chromosomes per cell
No spindle fibers during division
Prokaryotes
Always passively transmitted
Viruses
No cell wall
Animal cells
Only use exocytosis and endocytosis
Eukaryotes
MICRO
microscopic, independent unit, comparitively less complex, rapid rate of reproduction, omnipresent
microbiology
diverse, independent, reproduce
vitamin K
made by intestinal e.coli
microflora
collective bacteria. stop, discourage deadly germs
microbe naming
binomial nomenclature
E.Coli
Escherichia Coli - Theodore Escherich
glycocalyx
sugar coating in prokaryotes
zoonotic infections
SCHREW
rabies, west nile, ebola, human novel corona virus, SARS, corona virus 2
all tissue is susceptible to…
viruses
trivial virus infections
common cold, herpes, chickenpox
cytomegalovirus
no harm to immune competent person, everyone has it
mumps
virus that targets parotid gland, testes
bornavirus
horses, found in our genome, related to schizophrenia
Stanley Prusiner
prions
not degradable by DNA or RNA
prions
why isn’t prion disease more common?
proteins and polysacchrids in membrane lipid rafts forces the PrPc into correct shape.
templating (prions)
changes alpha to beta form - initiates infection
drugs that treat prion disease
anti-malarial (quinaorine), anti-psychotic (chlorprozamine), anti-histamine.
diseases associated with prions
alzheimers, parkinsons, constant muscle pain, insomnia
kuru (prion)
common in papa new guinea, paralytic disease, caused by cannibalism.
crukzfeldt-jakob disease
brain sponge-like, causes dementia. variant form called vCJD - this is the human form of mad cow disease.
scrapie
prion disease, goats, sheep. they scratch until they bleed to death.
Versatile metabolic process
bacteria
Rapid growth in bacteria leads to…
- accelerated rate of evolution i.e antibiotic resistance 2. broader distribution, i.e they are everywhere 3. genetic changes are rapidly incorporated into population and impact local environment I.e. Exxon
absorb nutrients from the environment
bacteria - except photosynthetic
non-pathogenic, absorbs nutrients
archea
have pseudopeptidglycan
archea
halophiles
halo bacterium species, salty environments
thermophiles
high temperatures, near nuclear power plants, ocean floor
methogens
methanobacterium. methane gas as an end product of metabolism. In GI tract of cows. near marshes.
