Immune System & Disease Chapter 31
In the 1850’s Pasteur proposed theGerm TheorySpecific microorganisms cause disease • Types of pathogens that cause disease. • Bacteria • Viruses • Fungi- occur in warm damp areas • Protozoa • Parasites
BacteriaThe Prokaryotes • Reproduce by Binary Fission • Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
HelpfulBacteria in Nature • Decomposers • Nitrogen cycle • Industry • Food- yogurt!
Harmful BacteriaCause disease by • Releasing toxins into the body • Directly break down tissue of organism for food
VirusesLatin for Poison • Not living • Require a host cell to reproduce!! • Consist of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat
Virus enters host cell Host cell produce viral DNA Host cell bursts Viral Infection
Retroviruses • Viruses that have RNA as their genetic material • HIV leads to AID’s HIV kills our Helper T cells
Common Viruses • Flu • Chicken Pox • Warts • Mono • Rabies
Treatment Viruses Bacteria • Antibiotics • Vaccination • Vaccination Immunity from vaccination can be temporary or permanent
How our Bodies defend against pathogenic organisms Nonspecific vs. specific defenses
Nonspecific Defense • Skin- the most important! • Oil and sweat create an acidic environment • Mucus, saliva, sweat, tears, contain lysosomes that break down bacterial cell walls • Inflammatory response- fever and swelling
Types of Immunity Active Passive • Body mounts an active response to the pathogen • The development of antibodies in response to stimulation by an antigen • Produced by vaccination or getting the disease • Temporary immunity • A mother provides passive immunity to her baby in her uterus and after birth by breastfeeding
Specific DefenseThe Antibody Antigen Reaction • An antigen triggers an immune system response • Antigens are specific for each pathogen • Lymphocytes produce antibodies. • Once formed the antibodies are held in memory B cells (lymphocytes) so that the body has permanent immunity to that disease
Antibodies help kill the intruder by: • 1. Binding to antigens on surface of microbes • 2. Clustering antigens together
