Hey Guys!
Today we had a shortened class so we did much less.
First we finished the Disease of the Day sheet.
Here is a review of the Disease's we have gone over:
-AIDS: Virus: no cure, attacks immune system, spread through physical contact
-Cholera: Bacteria: death by diarrheal, poor sanitation, can treat most with antibiotics
-Schistosomiasis: Helminth(worm): transmited by snails-larva, infects liver, blatter, uranery
-Influenza: Virus: transmited through mucas-saliva-contact, treated for symptoms only, vaccine- wash hands
-Malaria: Protozan: transmited misquito bites, attack liver and red blood cells, hard to treat, prevent with bed nets
-Tuberculosis: Bacteria: infects lungs, resistance to anti biotics
-Pneumonia: Bacteria, Virus, Fungi: vector born through tick, joint pain/flu symptoms/rash/bullseye
Next we went over the homework, it was worksheet pages in the UP about AIDS.
We finished class by going over out partner quiz. Some of the key points follow:
-Helper T-cells are destroyed by HIV
-Allergy- overreaction to immune system- caused when antigens release histamines
-Autoimmune- when immune system fails to recoginize self
-Retrovirus- (retro:backwards)- normal: DNA-RNA-PROTIEN, retrovirus: RNA-DNA-RNA-PROTIEN
-Killer T- cells- destroys infected cells
-Antibodies: bind Antigens together, mark antigens for distruction of macrophage, disable pathogens
Other thing you might need to know for test:
B-cell: mature in bone marrow, provide numeral immunity
Interferons: slow down or stops activity of B-cells
Antibody: attach antigen and flag for distruction by macrophage
Macrophage: big eating cell, eats bacteria
Homework:
Study for TEST!!!!
DONT FORGET TEST TOMORROW!!
Next scribe will be: Jason!
