The Body’s Defenses
California Standards 10.a., b. & c.
![Page 2: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Pathogens• Pathogens are disease causing agents
such as:1. bacteria2. viruses3. prions and4. single cell organisms
![Page 3: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
First Line of Defense
1. Skin: prevents pathogens from entering the body
![Page 4: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Skin = the first line of defense
The skin is the organ which defends the body
from infection by blocking the entry of pathogens.

2. Mucous Membranes: found in your nose and throat and stop the entry of pathogens into your body.

Second Line of Defense
1. Inflammatory Response
2. Temperature Response
3. Proteins
4. White Blood Cells
![Page 7: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1.Inflammatory Response
• A series of events that suppress infection and speed recovery
• Histamine: increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels.
• White blood cells invade infected area
• Swelling and redness occurs
![Page 8: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When the skin is punctured pathogens are allowed to enter the body.Pathogens
capillary
![Page 9: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Injured or damaged cells release the
chemical histamine which causes the blood vessels to dilate increasing blood flow to the
area. This blood flow causes swelling and redness to the area.
![Page 10: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Increased blood flow bring white blood cells that attack and destroy pathogens. The presence of ‘puss’ at a wound is the presence of white blood cells.

2. Temperature Response
• 1. Higher temperature called a fever
• 2. Bacteria do not grow well at high temperatures
• 3. Enzymes are destroyed or denatured
![Page 12: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Temperature Response
Basically, the temperature is a response that is helpful in
fighting pathogens because bacteria do not grow well at
high temperatures.
![Page 13: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Bacteria and Antibiotics
Antibiotics are specifically used to kill bacterial infections. They do nothing for viral, or virus caused, infections.
![Page 14: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Proteins• 1. Complementary System made
up of 20 different proteins.
• 2. Punctures cell membrane of bacteria
• 3. Interferon released to fight viruses
![Page 15: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4. White Blood Cells
• Neutrophils
• Macrophages
• Natural Killer Cells
![Page 16: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Neutrophils
• Engulf and destroy pathogens
• Release chemicals that kill bacteria and themselves
![Page 17: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Macrophages
• Kill and ingest pathogens
• Clear dead cells and other debris
• Found in spleen and lungs
![Page 18: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Natural Killer Cells
• Attacks cells infected with pathogens
• Puncture cell membrane
• Detect and kill cancer cells
![Page 19: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Skin• Mucous membranes• Inflammatory response• Temperature• Protein• White blood cells
Nonspecific Defense:
![Page 20: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Third Line of Defense
![Page 21: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Specific Defense Against Disease
The last type of defense against invading
organisms is the specific line of defense. This defense by your body attacks specific
pathogens and in the process produces antibodies that in the future can attack that
specific pathogen if it occurs again.
![Page 22: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Third Line of Defense• Immune Response: consists of an army
of cells that combat specific pathogens
• Antigen: a substance that triggers an immune response
• Antibody: a ‘Y-shaped molecule that is produced by plasma cells when exposed to an antigen.
![Page 23: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Non-functioning immune response
A person’s immune response is not functioning well if it is unable to fight pathogens. This is because their body cannot produce the specific antibody for that pathogen. AIDS is just such a disease because a patient’s body inability to defend itself against invading organisms.
![Page 24: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Antibodies and Antigens• An antibody is produced by your
body in response to a specific antigen.
• An antigen is a foreign substance which causes the body to produce a specific antibody.
![Page 25: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Antibodies attacking an antigen
‘Y’ shaped antibody
![Page 26: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Antibodies
Antibodies are substances formed by the human body in response to
foreign proteins entering the body.
![Page 27: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Resistance to Disease
• Immunity – resistance to a particular disease.
• Vaccination – a medical procedure used to produce immunity.
• Vaccine – a solution of dead or modified pathogens that can no longer cause disease.
![Page 28: The Body’s Defenses California Standards 10.a., b. & c](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551ab8c4550346b2288b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Vaccines and Infection
Vaccines are effective in preventing disease because they are dead or modified pathogens
with antibodies directed against a specific pathogen.
