Defending Against Infection
Pathogens
Bacteria
Multiply rapidly in warm and moist conditions.
Microscopic.
Living cells.
When they enter the body, they release toxins that make humans feel ill.
Fungi
Larger fungi include moulds and mushrooms
Viruses
Reproduce inside host cells.
Damage cells whilst doing so.
Eventually, burst open host cell.
Genetic material inside a coat of protein.
Passed through bloodstream.
Disease-Causing Microbe
White Blood Cells
Ingest pathogens
DO NOT SAY "EATS PATHOGENS"
Produce antibodies to destroy pathogens
Bind to pathogens and damage/destroy.
Coat pathogens to make them easier to ingest.
Specific antibodies fit specific antigens.
Produce antitoxins to counter the toxin produced by pathogens
NOTE
Pathogens are not the disease, they CAUSE the disease.
White blood cells do not eat pathogens, they INGEST pathogens.
Antibodies and antitoxins are not living, they are SPECIALISED PROTEINS.
Vaccination
Works against bacteria - NOT VIRUSES
Bacteria can be resistant to vaccination.
Contains weak/dead pathogens to make it easy for the white blood cells to deal with them.
