Health
A persons physical, mental & social conditions
1 of 36
Disease
A disorder or malfunction of the mind or body, which destroys good health
2 of 36
Pathogen
Any organisms that causes infectious diseases
3 of 36
Parasite
An organism that lives in or on another organism to get nutrition. They can't live independently
4 of 36

Bacteria, M.bovis
5 of 36

HIV/AIDS
Virus, Human immunodeficiency virus
8 of 36
Influenza
Virus, 'Flu' virus
9 of 36

Virus, tobacco mosaic virus

Fungus
13 of 36
Athletes Foot
Fungus
14 of 36
Malaria
Protocsista, P.malariae
15 of 36
Animal Defences
Skin, Mucous Membrane, Blood clotting, Inflammation, Wound repair, Expulsive reflexes
16 of 36
Passive Defence
There before infection
17 of 36
Active Defence
Respond only when pathogen is present
18 of 36
Bark
Contains a variety of chemical defences
19 of 36
Callose
Deposited in sieve tubes & blocks the flow. Preventing spread around plant
20 of 36
Tylose Formation
A ballon like swelling in xylem vessel which blocks it to prevent spread
21 of 36
Terpenoids & Phenols
Essential oils that have antibacterial and anti fungal properties
22 of 36
Necrosis
Deliberate cell suicide
23 of 36
Canker
A sunken necrotic lesion in the woody tissue such as the main stem or branch . Causes death of cambium tissue in bark
24 of 36
Phagocytes
Engulf pathogen. Non specific
25 of 36
Neutrophils (Phago)
Produced in bone marrow. Active movers. Short lived
26 of 36
Macrophages (Phago)
Long lived. Often leave BS in lymph nodes. Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) to show pathogen to other WBC
27 of 36
Lympocytes
Specific. Small WBC. Produce antibodies
28 of 36
B-Cells (Lympo)
Develop & mature in bone marrow. Stimulated into action by receptor. Multiply by mitosis. Never meet complementary antigen
29 of 36
Plasma Cell (B-Cells)
Short lived. Create extra protein making machinery. Produce antibodies
30 of 36
Memory Cells (B-Cells)
Long lived. Don't release antigens. Retain memory of antigen/antibodies. Reproduce if secondary infection occurs
31 of 36
T-Cells (Lympo)
Develop in thymus gland. Respond to antigens on other membranes
32 of 36
T-Helper Cells
Have complementary receptors to antigens. Divide by mitosis. Secrete cytokines which stimulate other cells to help fight off pathogen
33 of 36
T-Killer Cells
Destroys cells they attach to. Only way to kill viruses. Destroyed cells then engulfed
34 of 36
T-Memory Cells
Retain memory of antigen
35 of 36
T-Regulatory Cells
Shut down immune system after pathogen has been removed
