A vaccine causes the body to develop  this to enable the body to fight diease.

antibodies

Any abnormal condition that causes illness in a living organism is called 

symptom

100

the best way to prevent the spread of germs 

proper hand washing

100
This is what a disease is called that is not caused by a pathogen

noninfectious disease

100

Hay fever and poison ivy are examples of

allergy and noninfectious

200

When a normally harmelss substance causes an allergic reations it is considered this

allergen
200

True or False: The body symptoms that work to defend the body against disease are: immune system, cardiovascular system, and lymphatic system

True!
200
These are often inherited

Genetic disorders

200

These are of no use in treating noninfectious dieases

Antibiotics

200

Color blindness is an example of

noninfectious and genetic disorder

300

These are the 2 main ways pathogens spread

from person to person

contaminated objects

300
When a pathogen enters the body, the immune system responds by atcivating the white blood cells to fight the infection. Sometimes this is called

active immunity

300

True or False: Most viruses are chronic.

False!

300

A diseases that can be spread from one person to another is called

infectious disease

300

Malaria is a type of

Infectious disease

400

These are the four common groups of pathogens

bacteria

viruses

fungi

protists

400

True or False: Passive immunity lasts a few months and antibodies come from an outside source

True!

400

This is the explaination why antibiotics cannot be used to destroy a virus

Viruses are not considered living organisms and therefore cannot be killed with antibiotics.

400

The flu accompanied by a fever is this kind of disease

acute

400

True or False: Alzheimer's is a genetic and infectious disorder

False: noninfectious and genetic disorder

500

True or False: A protists is not a single cell organism that does not belong to the animal, plant or fungi kingdoms

False!
500

These are the 8 components that are a part of the immune and lymphatic systems.

lymph nodes

adenoids

thymus

tonsils

appendix

spleen

bone marrow

lymphatic vessels

500
This is how viruses multiply

A virus attached itself to a body cell and then injects its genetic material into the cell. The cell is tricked into making more viruses. The new viruses leave the cell and infect other cells.

Heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease are different kinds of

noninfectious diseases
500
The measles and the flue are examples of

infectious diseases
