  3. Homework Due Monday • Complete Worksheet 35.3

  4. Review • Basis is to differentiate between domestic and foreign • Domestic signals notify the Immune System they are good for the body • Foreign objects are unable to replicate password • Recognizing “self” is vital to the success of the Immune System

  5. Review • Humoral immunity is the action of antibodies that circulate in blood and lymph • “B Cells” • Cell mediated immunity defends the body from viruses, fungi and other pathogens by using macrophages and T Cells • Surpressor T Cells keep the immune system in check • Inhibit immune response once infection is under control

  6. Immunity • How can we create our own immunity? • How does that work?

  7. Vaccination • Cowpox prevented smallpox • Vaccinations are injections of a weakened form of a pathogen, to produce immunity

  8. Active Immunity • Vaccinations stimulate immune system with antigens • Immune system responds by producing memory B cells and memory T Cells • Quicken and strengthen response

  9. Passive Immunity • Antibodies produced against a pathogen by other individuals or animals can be used to produce temporary immunity • Antibodies then introduced into individual’s blood. • Only temporary • Why do you think this is only temporary?

  10. Venn Diagram • Please create a Venn Diagram between Active Immunity and Passive Immunity

  11. Infectious Disease • In 1900, 30% of deaths were due to infectious disease • In 2005, <5% were due to disease • Decreases were because of Public Health and development of medications.

  12. Public Health • What kinds of public health measures to you see today? • Public vaccines • Food and drug administration • Food recalls • Providing clean drinking water

  13. Medications • While it is inevitable that sickness will occur, medications are the second line of defense • Antibiotics kill bacteria • Antiviral medications slow viral activity • Inhibit the ability of viruses to invade cells or multiply
