Question
Answer
What is pathogen?   Organism that cause diseases  
🗑
What is immunity?   The ability to resist infection  
🗑
What is general system?   Is non-specific. This means that it acts against all pathogens.  
🗑
What is specific defence system?   Is also called the immune system. It attacks particular(or specific) pathogens  
🗑
First line of general defence   Skin,Clotting,Lysozyme,Sebaceous Glands, Mucous, Cilia, Acid and Beneficial Bacteria  
🗑
S: Physical barriesr   SKIN  
🗑
C:The skin is broken, blood ... prevents the entry of further pathogens   CLOTTHING  
🗑
L: This is an enzyme found in sweat, tears and saliva. It attacks and dissolves the cell walls of many bacteria   LYSOZYMES  
🗑
S.G:Produce chemicals that kill bacteria   SEBACEOUS GLANDS  
🗑
C:Theses beat and create current, which moves mucous back up the respiratory system so that it can be swallowed into stomach   CILIA  
🗑
A:Hydrochloric... in the stomach kills many pathogens   ACID  
🗑
B.B: In the vagina produce lactic acid. This acid prevent the growth of pathogens   BENEFICIAL BACTERIA  
🗑
Second line of general defence   Destruction of pathogens by white blood cells, production proteins kill or prevent pathogens from reproducing  
🗑
Types second line of general defence   White blood cells Defence proteins Inflamation  
🗑
White blood cells   Micro-organisms they realease number of chemicals. Destroy any bacteria, viruses or other micro-organisms that they meet  
🗑
Types of white blood cells   Phagocytes and magrophages  
🗑
Phagocytes   Sunrround and ingest pathogens  
🗑
Magrophages   Phagocytes very large, move around the body in body fluids and act as scavengers for pathogens  
🗑
Defence proteins   20 proteins found in the blood plasma. The proteins in complement are activated by infection, and they destroy viruses and other pathogens. Multiplication and help to limit  
🗑
Specific defence system   Attacks particular(or specific) pathogens  
🗑
Types of specific defence system   Lymphocytes and monocytes Antigens and antibodies Active immunity  
🗑
Monocytes   Recognise foreign molecules, digest a pathogen, antigens. These antigens then stimulate the production of antibodies  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
