Organelle
A gel-like matrix within the cell membrane that holds all of the cells internal substructures
cytoplasm
Mixture of normal bacteria found at specific body sites
normal flora
A transmission mechanism in which the infectious agent is spread as an aerosol and usually enters a person through the respiratory tract
A disease caused by microorganism, especially those that release toxins Or invade body tissue
Infection
Organism in whicH the cell nucleus Is surrounded by a membrane
Eukaryote
Organelle that consists of a network of channels that transport materials within the cell
A cell prdoused by fungi for reproduction; a resistance cell produced by bacteria to withstand extreme heat or cold or dehydration
Spores
The mode of transmission of infectious pathogens from a source that is common to all the cases of a specific disease, by means of a vehicle such as water, food, air, or the air supply
granular while blood cells responsible for much of the body’s protection against infection; they play a primary role in inflammation and are readily attracted to foreign antigens, destroying them by phagocytosis
Neutrophils
They lack a membrane-found cell organelles and a nuclear membrane around the chromosome
Prokaryotes
Stacks of membrane-bound structures that package prolines inside the cell before they are sent to Their destination; important in the processing of proteins for secretion
golgi apparatus
A type of white blood cell that matures in a thymus, contains a T-cell receptor, and plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity
T-cells
Occurs when microorganisms are transferred from one infected Person to another
Contact transmission
A microorganism capable of producing a disease
Pathogen
Lining of mostly endordermal origin, covered in epithelium, which are involved in absorption and secretion
Mucous membrane
Cell organelle containing Hydrolytic enzyme capsules used to break down proteins and carbohydrates to aid in intracellular digestion
lysosomes
Carrier of disease
Vectors
Immunity associated with circulating antibodies
Humoral immune response
Productive of disease
Pathogenic
A type of cell division of somatic cells in which each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent Cell
Mitosis
Cell organelles of rods or oval shape that contain enzymes for the aerobic stages of cell respiration and are the site of most ATP synthesis
A type of lymphocyte, developed in bone marrow that circulates in the blood and lymph and, upon encountering a particular foreign antigen, differentiates into a clone of plasma cells That secrete a specific antibody and a clone of memory cells that name the antibody on substance encounters
B cells
the ability to protect oneself from pathogens; the immunity you have when you are born
Innate immune response
A poisonous substance produced by a certain bacteria
Endotoxins
