  • Pathogens
    • is any micro-organism that cause diseases
    • interfaces; digestive and gas-exchange system
    • cause disease by damaging host cells and produce toxins
    • Epidemiology is the study of pattern & # of cases of diseases
  • smoking(tobacco), poor diet, obesity, exercise, sunlight
    • Cancer!
  • smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,obesity, diet, exercise
    • Lifestyle & Health
      • Risk; probability damage to health will occur

        • Anus, remove faeces (egestion)
        • 4. Pancreas; large gland, produces pancreatic juice
          • Chemical process in which large molecules are hydrolysed by enzymes to produce smaller molecules
            • Physical digestion; large molecules broken into smaller by teeth etc
