The Immune System Course: General Science Mr. Toor Ms. Papaiconomou Gross out Mr. Toor & Ms. Papaiconomou Find a picture of a disease of your choice Make a mini-fact sheet that includes: Name of the disease What causes it Some signs & symptoms of the disease Email all pictures to [email protected] What is disease? Disease = any change, other than injury, that interferes with the normal functioning of the body Pathogens = disease-causing microorganisms Infection = when the body is successfully invaded by a pathogen Infection is a daily event. Sickness is NOT a daily event, because not all infections produce a disease. Infectious disease only happens when the growth of the pathogen begins to harm the body. What is disease?

How do you identify a disease causing agent? Koch’s Rules for Identifying a Pathogen 1. 2. 3. 4. The suspected pathogen must occur in the body of an animal with the disease and NOT in the body of a healthy animal. The suspected pathogen should be isolated and grown in a laboratory culture. When the microorganisms grown in pure culture are injected into a healthy animal, the animal should develop the disease. The pathogen from the second animal should be isolated and grown in the laboratory. It should be the same as the pathogen isolated from the first animal.

What is the Immune System? Body system responsible for resisting disease Able to recognize cells that are itself (self) and those that are foreign (non-self) Resistance = ability to ward off disease through the various defense mechanisms Susceptibility = lack of resistance, vulnerability to disease What is the Immune System?

How does the Immune System work?

Skin and Mucous Membranes First Line of Defense Skin and Mucous Membranes Skin continuous layer oil and sweat glands in skin produce salty & acidic environment that kills most bacteria Mucous Membranes cells that protect the internal surfaces of the body from pathogens Mucous – sticky fluid that traps pathogens May contain enzymes used to destroy pathogens.
