Immunity and Infection Chapter 17
Chain of Infection n Transmitted through a chain (six links) n n Pathogen - disease causing microorganism Reservoir - natural environment of the pathogen: Person, animal or environmental component Portal of Exit Means of transmission • Direct transmission • Indirect transmission n Portal of entry New host Breaking the Chain 2
3
Body’s Defense System n Physical and Chemical barriers n n Skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract Immunulogical Defenders • Neutrophils • Macrophages • Lymphocytes • T-cells • Helper, Killer, and Suppressor • B-cells • Antibodies • Memory T and B cells 4
5
The Body’s Defense System n The Inflammatory Response. n Histamine. • Dilation of blood vessels, heat, redness, and swelling. 6
Body’s Defense System n Immune Response n n Phase 1 – Macrophages Phase 2 – Helper T cells multiply • Production of Killer T and B cells • Cytokines n Phase 3 – Killer T cells strike • Cell-mediated immune • Anti-body mediated immune response n Phase 4 – Last Phase – • Suppressor T-cells 7
8
Immunization The process of ‘priming’ the body to remember an encounter with a specific antigen. n VACCINE- Introduction of a killed or weakened pathogen to stimulate the body to produce antibodies. (active immunity). n PASSIVE IMMUNITY- Injection of antibodies produced by other human beings or animals. n ACQUIRED IMMUNITY-The ability of a memory lymphocytes to remember a previous infection. (chicken pox). n 9
Allergy n The Body’s Defense System Gone Haywire Allergies n Allergens n • Pollen, Dander, Dust mites, Molds, Food, Insects n The Allergic response • Immunoglobulin (Ig. E) • Anaphylaxis 10
11
Dealing With Allergies Avoidance n Medication n Immunotherapy n 12
Type of Pathogens n Bacterium – Microscopic single celled organism n Pneumonia n Meningitis n Strep Throat and other streptococcal infections n Toxic shock and other staphylococcal n Tuberculosis n Lyme Disease n Ulcers n Antibiotic Treatment 13
Type of Pathogens n Viruses n n n Common Cold Influenza Measles, Mumps and Rubella Chickenpox, Cold Sores Other Herpes virus infections Viral encephalitis Viral Hepatitis Poliomyelitis Rabies Warts Treatment 14
15
Types of Pathogens n Fungus – n n Protozoan – n n Microscopic single-celled animal – Malaria, African sleeping sickness. Parasitic worm – n n Primitive plant – Yeast infections, athletes foot Largest organism that can enter the body – Tapeworm, Hookworm, and Pinworm. Prions n Fetal degeneration disorders of the CNS, linked to “proteinaceous infectious partilces. 16
17
Emerging Infectious Diseases n n n n Drug Resistance Poverty The breakdown of public health measures Environmental changes Travel and Commerce Mass food production and Distribution Human Behaviors 18
Other Immune Disorders n Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases n If the immune system breaks down • Getting older • HIV infection • Chemotherapy n Autoimmune diseases • Rheumatoid arthritis • Systemic lupus erythmatosus 19
Giving Yourself a Fighting Chance n How to support your immune system Public Health n Taking care of yourself n • Nutrition • Exercise • Rest • Moderation of Lifestyle • Controlling Stress 20
