  10. LIST and DESCRIBE the 4 types of pathogens A 400

  11. Virus- smallest and simplest disease causing organism Bacteria- tiny 1 celled organisms that live nearly everywhere Fungi- primitive life forms that can’t make their own food Protozoa- 1 celled organism that are more complex than bacteria A 400

  12. What are the 6 ways that pathogens are spread? A 500

  13. Direct Contact Indirect Contact Contact with Animals or Insects Contaminated Food and/or Water Contact with Blood Sexual Contact A 500

  14. List the 3 major responses that fight a pathogen (IN ORDER) to keep you from getting sick (Offensive line, blockers, and the QB…) B 100

  15. 5 Major Barriers • Nonspecific Response • Specific Response B 100

  16. What are the 5 major barriers? (List them, please) B 200

  17. Tears • Saliva • Skin • Mucous Membranes • Stomach Acid B 200

  18. During the nonspecific response, these specific white blood cells attack the invading pathogens B 300

  19. Phagocytes B 300

  20. Why does your body create a fever during the nonspecific response? B 400

  21. It signals the body to produce more white blood cells and makes it harder for the pathogens to reproduce B 400

  22. Phagocytes produce these proteins during the nonspecific response that stop the virus from reproducing. B 500

  23. Interferons B 500
