43
Q

Lipids in body

A

called triglycerides, or the fats and fatty acids found in the body

44
Q

Importance of water

A

regulates body functions, essential for digestion of food, helps body tissues absorb nutrients, moves waste material through the body, makes up most of blood plasma and cytoplasm of cells

45
Q

Antibiotics

A

Powerful medicines used to prevent bacterial infections

46
Q

Basal metabolic rate

A

(BMR) rate at which the body uses energy just for maintaining its own tissue without doing voluntary work

47
Q

Mechanical digestion

A

Food is broken down by teeth and moved through digestive system by peristalsis, which is a rhythmic, wavelike motion of the muscles

48
Q

Chemical digestion

A

Food is mixed with digestive juices secreted by the mouth, stomach, small intestine, and pancreas. Juices contains enzymes which break down food chemically so nutrients are absorbed

A

Cause serious or life-threatening infections like staphylococcus, pseudomonas, and enterococci, spread to other patients and workers

52
Q

Role of nutrition

A

Includes all body processes relating to food-digestion, absorption, metabolism, circulation, elimination. These allow the body to use food for energy, maintain good health and growth

53
Q

Portal of exit

A

Way for the causative agent to escape from the reservoir where it has been growing

54
Q

Portal of entry

A

Way for the causative agent to enter a new reservoir or host, like breaks in the skin, digestive tract, or respiratory tract

55
Q

Reservoir

A

Area where the causative agent can live; common reservoirs are humans, animals, environment, fomites

56
Q

Mode of transmission

A

Way the causative agent can be transmitted to another reservoir or host: direct or indirect contact, air or droplet, vectors, vehicle

57
Q

Best reservoirs

A

Blood and skin

58
Q

Host

A

Prison likely to get infection or disease because body defenses are weak

59
Q

Infectious or causative agent

A

A pathogen, such as bacteria or a virus than can cause a disease
