Explain how a pathogen can spread through indirect contact.
Indirect contact is when a contaminated surface is touched. Example: if Mrs. Hovde has the flu and coughs in her hand then touches the doorknob, the next person who touches the doorknob might pick up the flu virus
What is passive immunity and an example?
Antibodies are received from an outside source like mother-baby.
Explain how inflammation helps the body.
Inflammation is the "call" system of the body. It send a signal to WBCs to go to the area as there is an injury or infection.

What is active immunity?
When antibodies are made by the body from getting sick or a vaccine.
What are the three lines of defense against disease?
1. Physical/Chemical
2. Inflammation
3. Immune System
What are the causes of Chronic Disease?
Behavioral Risks, Environmental Risks, Hereditary Risks
List the four pathogens and a disease caused by each.
Bacteria-TB, strep throat, staph infection, food poisoning
Virus- COVID, Ebola, HIV, Smallpox, flu, colds
Fungi- Ringworm, athlete's foot, yeast infections, thrush
Protozoa- Malaria, tapeworm, lice
What are the five ways that pathogens spread?
Direct contact, indirect contact, animals, contaminated food/water, airborne transmission
Explain how a vaccine works and how it plays a role in immunity.
A vaccine is an injected dead, weakened or modified pathogen that triggers the immune response. This "tricks" the immune system into thinking they are actually sick so that antibodies against the specific disease are made so that in future, they are immune to that disease.
List the four white blood cells, include their names, when they show up and what they do.
1- Helper T cells release a chemical that signals to other white blood cells to come to the area
2- B cells create antibodies and attach them to the infected cells
3- Killer T cells look for the antibodies and kill the infections
4- Suppressor T cells release a chemical that suppresses the immune response when there is no longer an infection
