1 TOPIC: Immunity AIM: How does the immune system protect the body against disease?

2 Topic: Immunity Aim: How does the immune system protect the body against disease? Do Now:

3 What causes strep throat? Strep throat is a contagious disease caused by infection with group A streptococci bacteria. The symptoms of strep throat include sore throat, fever and stomach pain, along with red and swollen tonsils.

4

5 Immune system Protects the body against disease

6 What is a pathogen? Materials that cause disease (germs) Microorganisms Bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi…

7

8 Immune Response How the body recognizes and defends itself from pathogens

9 Antigen Any substance that starts an immune response It can be: Pathogens (germs) Other materials (dust, food…)

10 The Body’s Lines of Defense

11 Your immune system patrols and protects your body from harmful invaders. If your immune system finds an invader, it takes care of the problem. Immune System Pathogen

12 1 st line Physical barriers  keep pathogens out of the body

13

14 skin, mucus, cilia, sweat, tears, saliva, digestive enzymes

15

16 2nd line 1. Inflammatory response: WBC’s destroy pathogens

17

18 2. Interferons = proteins that help other cells from being attacked by viruses

19 Antibodies (3 rd line) Proteins that help destroy pathogens Made bc of an immune response

20 Attach to antigen & slow it down so WBC’s can destroy them

21

22 How are antibodies made? 2 types of WBC’s T cells tell B cells to make antibodies

23

24

25 1. Pathogen enters the body

26 2. Inflammatory response occurs (WBC’s kill germs) OR infection occurs.

27 3. If infection occurs, the body's immune system produces antibodies and white blood cells to attack the pathogens.

28 4. Antibodies attach themselves to the pathogens, slowing them down and making it easier for the white blood cells to identify them.

29 5. White blood cells attack and destroy the pathogens.

30 2 types of disease 1. Infectious = pathogens spread to another person Ex: cold, flu, AIDS

31 2. Noninfectious = cannot be spread (not caused by pathogen) Ex: Diabetes, cancer

32 AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Infectious disease

33 Caused by HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus)

34 Damages immune system by destroying T cells (body can’t fight off pathogens)

35

36 How is HIV transmitted? 1. Contact with infected blood 2. Sharing intravenous needles 3. Sexual contact 4. Mother  fetus

37

38 Allergies An immune response or reaction to substances you are allergic (sensitive) to

39 Allergen = what you are allergic to (pollen, dust, etc)

40

41 Histamines produced (chemicals released by cells that cause symptoms)

42

43

44 Review: 1.What is a pathogen? 2.Explain what makes up your body’s first line of defense. 3.How are antibodies produced? 4.How are infectious diseases different from noninfectious diseases? 5.How does HIV affect the body? 6.What is an allergy?
