This document discusses diseases and health. It defines health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being, and disease as any disturbance in the structure or function of the body. It describes different types of diseases like acute, chronic, congenital and acquired diseases. It explains infectious diseases in detail, including the infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi etc.), means of spread, organ-specific manifestations, and principles of treatment and prevention. It emphasizes that classifying diseases based on their infectious agents is important for deciding appropriate treatment since members of the same group (e.g. bacteria) often respond similarly to drugs.
This document discusses health and disease. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Good health depends on factors like a healthy environment, economic conditions, and social harmony. Diseases are caused by pathogens, genetic disorders, pollution, and malnutrition. Diseases can be acute, chronic, infectious, or non-infectious. Infectious diseases spread through contact with infected individuals, while non-infectious diseases do not. The document outlines various infectious and non-infectious diseases and how they are transmitted. It also discusses principles of treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.
The document discusses heredity and variation in organisms. It defines heredity as the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. Variation refers to the differences in traits among individuals of a species. The document lists several examples of variations in humans such as eye color, hair color, height etc. It also discusses Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants which laid the foundations for modern genetics through his principles of inheritance, including dominant and recessive genes.

This document discusses microorganisms and their roles as both friends and foes. It describes that microorganisms can be unicellular or multicellular, and exist in diverse environments including inside human and animal bodies. There are four main types - bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa. While some microorganisms are beneficial in activities like making bread, alcohol, medicines, and increasing soil fertility, others are harmful causing diseases in humans, plants and animals as well as food poisoning. Microorganisms also have roles in sewage treatment and human gut health.
The document defines and provides examples of important disease terms including communicable and non-communicable diseases. It then summarizes several common communicable diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa, helminths, and fungi including their symptoms, modes of transmission, prevention and treatment methods. Examples of non-communicable diseases and genetic disorders are also briefly discussed.
This document summarizes microorganisms and their characteristics. It discusses that microorganisms are tiny organisms that can only be seen with a microscope. They are classified into four major groups: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and some algae. Viruses are also microscopic. The document provides examples of diseases caused by different microorganisms in humans, plants, and animals. It also discusses the useful roles of some microorganisms in food production and their role in decomposition.
This document discusses various diseases caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. It provides details on the causative agents, target organs, modes of transmission, symptoms, and prevention for diseases like typhoid, pneumonia, common cold, malaria, amoebiasis, ascariasis, elephantiasis, and ringworm. It emphasizes the importance of personal and public hygiene for prevention of diseases through measures like proper disposal of waste, use of clean water and food, cleaning of water sources, and mosquito control.
This document discusses human health and diseases. It covers several topics:
1. It defines health as physical, mental and social wellbeing, while disease is any change from the normal state that causes discomfort, disability or impairs health.
2. Diseases are classified as infectious, non-infectious, or congenital. Common infectious diseases discussed include typhoid, pneumonia, common cold, malaria, amoebiasis, ringworm, ascariasis, and filariasis.
3. These diseases are caused by various pathogens like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths. The document provides details on the causative agent, affected organ, symptoms, transmission
4.1 INFECTIOUS AND NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASESLy Jonathan
This document discusses infectious and non-infectious diseases. Infectious diseases can be transmitted between people and are caused by pathogens, while non-infectious diseases cannot be transmitted and are caused by genetic or lifestyle factors. Infectious diseases spread through various means such as air, water, contact, and vectors like mosquitoes and flies. Preventive measures are outlined for different types of transmission, including using masks, boiling water, and controlling vector populations. The mechanism to prevent infectious disease spread involves primary, secondary and tertiary stages focusing on host protection, transmission determination, and vector control.
The document discusses germ theory and microorganisms that cause disease. It explains that diseases can be either infectious or non-infectious, with infectious diseases caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi. Key figures discussed include Louis Pasteur, Joseph Lister, Robert Koch and his postulates for identifying microorganisms that cause specific diseases.
Microorganisms like bacteria and fungi serve many useful purposes. Bacteria are used to make foods like cheese, yogurt, and bread through processes like fermentation. Fermentation of sugar by yeast produces alcohol, which is used to make beverages like beer and wine. Bacteria and fungi also produce antibiotics and vitamins. They help break down organic matter and sewage. However, some microorganisms cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants when they enter the body and infect tissues. Pathogens are transmitted through various carriers like flies, mosquitoes, cuts and wounds, or contaminated food or water.
AIDS is a disease caused by the HIV virus that weakens the immune system. There are currently around 33 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. The virus originated in chimpanzees in central Africa and was first reported in the United States in 1981. HIV attacks CD4 cells and a person is diagnosed with AIDS when their CD4 count drops below 200 or they contract an opportunistic infection. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusions, needle sharing, and from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Prevention focuses on abstinence, monogamy, condom use, safe needle practices, and preventing mother to child transmission. While treatment with antiretroviral drugs can suppress the virus,
There are two main types of diseases: acute and chronic. Acute diseases like the common cold last for a short period of time, while chronic diseases like tuberculosis can last a lifetime. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens and can be transmitted from person to person, while non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens. Infectious diseases spread through various means such as air, water, sexual contact, or vectors. The pathogens that cause diseases include viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and worms. Treatment focuses on reducing disease effects and killing the microbes causing the disease.
This document discusses diseases and infectious diseases. It defines disease as any condition that causes discomfort, distress or health issues. Diseases are classified as acute, lasting a short time, or chronic, lasting a lifetime. Diseases are caused by pathogens, poor health, organ malfunctions, pollution or genetics. Infectious diseases spread via air, water, food, vectors, physical or sexual contact. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and kill microbes, while prevention focuses on vaccination, sanitation and avoiding transmission routes. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding infectious agents and disease transmission to effectively prevent and treat illness.
- The document discusses the causes and types of diseases. It explains that health depends on physical, social, economic, and environmental factors as well as personal hygiene. Diseases are caused by infectious agents like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites or non-infectious factors like genetics.
- Infectious diseases can be transmitted through air, water, vectors, or sexual contact and affect different organs depending on the point of entry. Treatment involves reducing symptoms and killing microbes while prevention focuses on public hygiene, immunization, and strengthening immunity through vaccines.
Viruses can infect all life forms and consist of genetic material contained within a protein coat. They replicate inside host cells and can cause diseases like chickenpox, flu, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis. This document discusses many recent viral diseases in humans like Zika, Ebola, chikungunya, and others caused by viruses. It also covers plant viruses like tobacco mosaic virus and methods for controlling viral diseases through vaccination, hygiene, antiviral drugs, and immunotherapy.
1. The document discusses white blood cells (WBCs) or leukocytes, which are colorless formed elements of blood that play an important role in the body's defense mechanism.
2. WBCs can be classified as granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) or non-granulocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes). Their numbers and types can vary under different physiological and pathological conditions.
3. Both innate and acquired immunity involve WBCs. Innate immunity provides initial defense through cells and proteins. Acquired immunity develops after exposure to specific pathogens and involves T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes that provide cellular and humoral immunity respectively.
This document discusses several common human diseases including malaria, amoebiasis, and ascariasis. It provides details on the causative agents, symptoms, modes of transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of each disease. For malaria, it notes that the pathogen is Plasmodium and is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever, chills, and vomiting. Diagnosis is via blood smear and treatment involves antimalarial drugs. Prevention focuses on mosquito control. For amoebiasis, it states the causative agent is Entamoeba histolytica spread through contaminated food/water. Symptoms are diarrhea and abdominal pain. Microscopic stool exam is used for diagnosis

This document discusses the human body's immune system response to infection. It defines key concepts like antigens, antibodies, B cells, the adaptive immune system, phagocytosis, cytokines, inflammation, and vaccine development. Antigens are foreign substances that trigger an immune response, while antibodies are proteins produced by B cells that help neutralize pathogens. The document outlines the roles of B cells, antigens, antibodies, and the two main immune responses: phagocytosis by immune cells and the cytokine response. It also discusses vaccine pioneers like Pasteur and Jenner and different types of vaccines.
The human body has both passive and active defenses against pathogens. Passive defenses include the skin, mucus, stomach acid, and enzymes that try to prevent pathogens from entering the body. If a pathogen gets past these barriers, active defenses kick in. White blood cells play a key role in active immunity. There are two main types of white blood cells - phagocytes that ingest pathogens and lymphocytes that produce antibodies to target specific pathogens. Vaccinations expose the body to inactive or dead pathogens to stimulate antibody production and provide future protection against disease.
Immune system is our defense mechanism which provides protection against various infections and ailments. Low immunity is the root cause for all the problems so Planet Ayurveda presents a fabulous herbal formulation for enhancing immunity power.
The document provides an overview of the immune system. It discusses that the immune system consists of innate and adaptive immunity. The innate immune system provides non-specific defenses like skin, mucus, cilia and phagocytes. The adaptive immune system has antigen-specific responses mediated by B cells, T cells and antibodies that provide long-lasting immunity. Major cells involved are macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells, T helper cells, cytotoxic T cells, B cells and plasma cells. The adaptive immune response involves processes like clonal selection, antibody production and immunological memory.
The immune system protects the body through a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs. It has both innate and adaptive defenses. The innate system provides immediate but non-specific responses using barriers, phagocytes, natural killer cells and inflammation. The adaptive system mounts highly specific responses through B cells and T cells. B cells produce antibodies while T cells direct the immune response. Together these defenses recognize and eliminate pathogens while distinguishing self from non-self to avoid autoimmunity. However, immune disorders can occur if the system is compromised or overreacts.
This document provides an overview of microbiology and the history of the field. It begins with an introduction to microbiology and explains key topics like the size and types of microorganisms. It then discusses the history of microbiology from early pioneers like Van Leeuwenhoek and discoveries around spontaneous generation and germ theory. Major developments are highlighted such as vaccines, staining techniques, and Koch's postulates. The modern areas of study and ongoing importance of microbiology are also summarized.
BIOLOGY FORM 5 CHAPTER 1 - 1.5 BODY DEFENCE MECHANISMNirmala Josephine
The document summarizes the immune system's defense mechanisms against pathogens. It describes three lines of defense: 1) physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, 2) innate immune responses involving phagocytes, complement proteins, and natural killer cells, and 3) acquired immune responses involving B and T cells that produce antibodies for long-term pathogen recognition. The immune system has both passive defenses that prevent pathogen entry and active defenses that destroy pathogens inside the body through phagocytosis, antibody production, and generation of immunological memory.
Introduction to Immunity Antibody Function & Diversity 2006 L1&2-overview & AbLionel Wolberger
This document provides an overview of a lecture on antibody function and diversity. It introduces antibody gene rearrangement and discusses how antibodies recognize an almost infinite number of antigens through genetic diversity mechanisms like variable gene segments and junctional diversity during lymphocyte development. Key textbooks on immunology are also referenced.
The document discusses immunity and the immune system, describing how immunity protects the body from pathogens through physical barriers, inflammation, and specialized immune cells and antibodies that recognize and destroy invading microorganisms. It also provides information on infectious diseases, Koch's postulates for identifying pathogens, and an herbal remedy from Planet Ayurveda called Immune Magic Capsules that is said to boost immunity.
Bacteria can make you sick by entering your body through cuts, food/water, sexual contact, air, or animal bites. Common bacterial diseases include strep throat, staph infections, and food poisoning. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that are much smaller than human cells and can have different shapes. The human body has defenses against bacteria like the skin, mucus, stomach acids, and immune cells. When infections occur, antibiotics can treat many bacterial infections, but some bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics, creating serious issues like MRSA. It is important to always finish all of an antibiotic prescription to avoid furthering bacterial resistance.

Cell culture is the process of growing cells under controlled conditions outside of their natural environment. Key aspects of cell culture include growing cells in a controlled environment with appropriate temperature, gas mixture, and growth medium. Common manipulations of cells in culture include passaging cells to avoid senescence, transfecting cells to introduce foreign DNA, and changing growth media to replenish nutrients. Cytokines and growth factors are important signaling molecules that regulate cellular processes and are often added to growth media.
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that commonly infects humans. While most infections are asymptomatic, it can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. It has a complex life cycle involving both sexual and asexual reproduction. The parasite exists in two forms - tachyzoites that actively multiply during acute infection, and bradyzoites that form cysts during chronic infection. Diagnosis involves detecting antibodies, antigens or parasites. Treatment differs based on immune status and involves antiparasitic drugs. Prevention focuses on thoroughly cooking meat and good hygiene.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

58. O Suppressor T-cells:
Suppress entire
immune system to
attack on own body
cells
O Memory T-cells:
Previously sensitized
and retain the
sensitization for future.
64. KTF
O Cytotoxins are the chemical weapons that Killer T-cells use to destroy infected
cells. Viruses take over healthy cells and trick them into making many more
viruses. When those viruses get out, they can infect even more healthy cells.
By killing infected cells before these viruses get out, cytotoxins protect your
healthy cells.
O Different kinds of cytotoxins work in different ways. Some cytotoxins make
holes in the cell membrane, so the inside of the cell is not protected from the
outside. Without a full membrane, the cell dies. Cell death because of this
kind of break in the cell membrane is called lysis.
Apoptosis
O Other cytotoxins turn on a program in the cell that causes it to self-destruct.
This is called apoptosis. The dark spots in the picture are cells that have been
destroyed by apoptosis. Macrophages, the first member of the body's clean up
crew, remove these dead cells.
