- Infectious Disease
- White blood cells
- Produce antibodies
- Makes antibodies that match the antigens which then destroys the bacteria
- Ingest
- White blood cell mothers and engulfs the pathogen and then releases enzymes which digest the pathogen
- Produce Antitoxins
- Will produce antitoxins which will kill the toxins
- Produce antibodies
- Micro organism
- Viruses
- Will go along to an ordinary cell and infect it, will start to reproduce inside it until the cell breaks open and is permantly damaged
- Bacterium
- Produces toxins which are poisons that harm the body
- Only some of these micro organisms are pathogens
- Funghi
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Viruses
- Igmaz Semmelweis 1850s
- Knew there was something on the dead body that was causing childbed fever
- Told people they had to wash their hands after dealing with dead bodies before they went to delivering babies
- Childbed fever was detected a lot more often if medical students delivered the babies rather than midwifes
- Vaccinations
- 2) The body can then produce anti bodies to fit the antigens
- 3) So if the body ever actually gets the disease it can produce the antibodies rapidly
- 1) Contains a copy of the dangerous pathogen but still has the antigen on it
- The more people vaccinated the harder it is to spread
- White blood cells
- Will go along to an ordinary cell and infect it, will start to reproduce inside it until the cell breaks open and is permantly damaged
