Infectious disease
These diseases are often caused by genetic factors or lifestyle choices and cannot be transmitted between hosts.
What are non-infectious diseases?
This reflex action helps expel pathogens and irritants from the respiratory tract.
What is coughing?
This type of immune response is general and non-specific, found in all plants and animals.
What is the innate immune response?
Shaking hands with an infected person can spread diseases through this mode of transmission.
What is direct contact?
When you give an expected result of an upcoming event, based on available information.
What is predict?
This term describes the clear area around an antimicrobial disk where bacteria do not grow.
What is a zone of inhibition?
This sticky substance in the respiratory tract traps pathogens and particles.
What is mucus?
Vertebrates have this type of immune response that is specific to particular pathogens.
What is the adaptive immune response?
Mosquitoes can spread diseases like malaria through this specific mode of transmission.
What are disease-specific vectors?
When you display recognition of the similarities, differences and the significances of two situations or contexts.
What is compare?
Tapeworms and lice are examples of this type of pathogen.
What are parasites?
These beneficial microorganisms on the skin and in the gut help outcompete harmful pathogens.
What is the normal flora (or microbiota)?
This type of immune response involves the production of antibodies by B lymphocytes.
What is the humoral immune response?
This indirect contact transmission mechanism involves ingesting improperly cooked, stored or handled food.
What is food poisoning / food contamination?
When you list the features or characteristics of an event, process or thing.
What is describe?
Athlete’s foot and ringworm are caused by this type of pathogen.
What are fungi?
These enzymes found in saliva and tears break down bacterial cell walls.
What are lysozymes?
These cells are produced during adaptive immune responses and help the body remember past infections.
What are memory cells?
It is indirect contact that involves breathing in spores or droplets containing pathogens.
What is airborne transmission?
When you describe somethings and then say how or why it happens with more detail.
What is explain?
The immune system recognises these molecules as foreign, leading to an immune response.
What are non-self antigens?
These cells are derived from monocytes and are important for phagocytosis and antigen presentation.
What are macrophages?
This type of T cell helps activate B cells and other immune cells.
What are helper T cells?
The spread of diseases like COVID-19 is often accelerated by this type of travel.
What is international travel?
When you examine data to work out each part and the trends or relationships between the elements, features, components or structures.
What is analyse?
