Immunity, Nervous System, Thermoregulation, Hormones Flashcards
What are the two functions of blood clotting?
- prevent pathogens entering the body
- prevent blood loss
What are pathogens
A disease causing organism, that stimulates an immune response.
How do vaccinations result in the manufacturing of memory cells.
Vaccinations enable antibody-produced memory cells to be produced, faster and stronger to get rid of pathogens at a faster rate.
what is the functions of platelets
release enzymes and clotting blood
How can pathogens cause disease?
Physically damaging cells
Producing toxins which damage cells
What is the difference between a white and a red blood cell?
A white blood cell fights against diseases, have a nucleus, bigger.
A red blood cell is biconcave shape, carry oxygen to respire cells, no nucleus.
How does blood clotting work?
Blood vessel wall damaged
Collagen exposed
Platelets
Release enzyme and clotting factors
Fibrous protein fibrin
Blood cells trapped
Clot (scab)
how can the immune system recognise a pathogen faster
the use of memory cells help the immune system identify the pathogen faster and kill it
What are the two types of white blood cell
lymphocytes and phagocytes
