Today in class, we discussed our last disease of the day. The disease was lyme disease. The agent of this disease is bacteria. The vector of this disease is the mosquito. Then, for the rest of class we reviewed for the TEST TOMORROW. We went over the quiz we took yesterday, and watched a

few short clips to review. The review session for our disease and immunity test will be

tomorrow morning, so make sure you try to make it of you have any questions!

Also, don't forget to check out the muddiest points, and make sure you've posted your comments!

STUDY STUDY STUDY! Check the moodle page to review with animations that Mrs. Stein

has posted! Good luck tomorrow!

I have already posted a muddiest point but while I was reviewing for the test right now I found that I don't understand the difference between a phagocyte and a macrophage. Is there a difference or are they the same thing. Help is appreciated!!

Scribe 11/7

Today in class on 11/7 we received stamps on our homework from the weekend, UP 32, 37-42 and we were also supposed to read 35.4. We also took a quiz on some terms from the reading and things we have gone over in class the previous week. After the quiz we took a few notes on Acquired Immunity. Then, we ended the class with a movie clip on Malaria.

Acquired Immunity can either be active or passive. During active immunity your body produces antibodies and it can do this is two ways. One, with a vaccination, when a weaker form of a pathogen in injected to your body. Two, you can be exposed to a disease. During passive immunity antibodies can also be obtained in two ways. One, antibodies can be injected into your body. Two, they can be obtained through breast milk. Passive immunity is always temporary.

At the end of class we watched a clip on Malaria. Malaria is a microscopic protist that transforms to invade red blood cells. Eventually the red blood cells burst. Around 80 to 90% of children have Malaria in Africa. Malaria is spread through bites from mosquitos.

The HOMEWORK tonight is to start preparing for the test on Wednesday.

THE NEXT SCRIBE IS BRECK MURPHY!!

Muddiest Point

My muddiest point is for nonspecific defenses, when the second line of defense comes into action are there specific defenses? For example, for first line defense there are things like the skin, cilia and tears, saliva, etc. What are examples of second line? If there are any.

Thanks

Today in class, we learned how to read a certain type of graph. Also we learned exactly how a T cell kills an infected cell and the process of it.

We also learned a little about APC

APC means Antigen Presenting cell.

Our homework is in the unit packet, pages 32, and pages 37-42 also to read 35.4

The next scribe will be SARAH

Muddiest Point

What are the main difference between b cells and t cells? Also how do you identify what type of t cell it is

Muddiest Point 11/5

I have a couple of muddiest points. First, on the objectives page number 8. Describe how the immune system reacts when the disease AIDS or H5N1 is contracted and its effect on the immune system. Include: Infection, Effect on the viruses on cells, Spread of the Disease, and Treatment and prevention for the Disease. When it says describe how it reacts when the disease is contracted, does that just mean how it occurs or how it is diagnosed?

Also, number 9. Explain how the following impact infectious disease: global warming and local habitat disruption, overpopulation and urbanization, and poverty and quality of health care. I don't think I remember learning about these. If someone knows the answer to any or all of these please comment. Thanks!
