59
New cards
Disease:
\ What are chitinases and what do they do?
enzymes, break down chitin in fungal cells
60
New cards

61
New cards
Disease:

62
New cards
Disease:
Gap fill…

\ ………. is toxic to most …….. ……..
\
Cyanide, living things
63
New cards
Disease:
\ What triggers callose deposition?
\
Plant cells recognises pathogenic molecules / breakdown products of cell wall are recognised, signalling molecules alert nucleus to attack
64
New cards
Disease:
\ Which is faster, the non-specific immune system or the specific immune system?
Non-specific immune system
65
New cards
Disease:
\ What are 4 ways our bodies prevent the entry of pathogens?
Skin, mucous membranes, lysozymes in tears and stomach acid, blood clotting
66
New cards
Disease:
\ How is skin adapted to prevent entry of pathogens?
Produces sebum, which inhibits growth of pathogens
67
New cards
Disease:
\ Where can mucous membranes be found?
gas exchange system, airways
68
New cards
Disease:
\ Why are mucous membranes effective at keeping pathogens out?
They secrete sticky mucous which trap micro-organisms , the lysozymes destroy the fungal and bacterial cell walls. mucous also contains phagocytes to remove the remaining pathogens
69
New cards
Disease:
\ State 4 expulsive reflexes the body has…
Coughing, sneezing, vomitting and diarrhoea
70
New cards
Disease:
\ What do expulsive reflexes such as coughing and sneezing do?
They eject mucous full of pathogens out of the gas exchange system
71
New cards
Disease:
\ What do expulsive reflexes such as vomiting and diarrohea do?
expel the contents of the gut and pathogens
72
New cards
**Disease:**
\ What is the name of the enzyme that triggers the formation of a blood clot?
Thromboplastin
73
New cards
Disease:
\ What does thromboplastin do?
The enzyme that triggers the formation of a blood clot
74
New cards
Disease:
\ Why is it important that blood clots rapidly form when the skin is breached?
To prevent the entry of pathogens
75
New cards
Disease:
\ What is the role of the serotonin in blood clotting and wound repair?
Causes smooth muscles in blood vessels to contract, making the blood vessels narrow) to reduce bleeding and blood supply to the area.
76
New cards
Disease:
\ What happens when the blood clot has formed?
blood clot dries out and scab is formed
77
New cards
Disease:
\ Why are scabs important?
to prevent the entry of pathogens
78
New cards
Disease:
\ What happens when the skin under the blood clot has returned to its original thickness?
Scab falls off
79
New cards
Disease:
\ After injury when does a scab fall off?
When the new epidermis reaches normal thickness
80
New cards
Disease:
\ What type of response is the inflammatory response?
Localised response, primary response
81
New cards
Disease:
\ What can inflammation be characterised by?
pain, heat, redness, swelling
82
New cards
Disease:
\ What is the name of the cells that are activated when tissue is damaged?
Mast cells
83
New cards
Disease:
\ What are the names of the chemicals secreted by the mast cells?
Histamines and cytokines
84
New cards
Disease:
\ Why is localised heat/ raised body temperature good?
prevents pathogens from reproducing
85
New cards
Disease:
\ How does swelling occur?
Histamines cause blood vessels to dilate, they become more leaky forcing blood plasma out of the blood, this is called tissue fluid
86
New cards
Disease:
\ What is the name of blood plasma once forced out of the blood?
tissue fluid
87
New cards
Disease:
\ What is the role of cytokines?\*\*\*
88
New cards
Disease:
\ What can the inflammatory response cause if an infection is wide spread?
Whole body rash
89
New cards
Disease:
\ What happens if pathogens get into the body?
The body tries to prevent them from reproducing and tries to kill them
90
New cards
Disease:
\ Which part of the brain controls and regulates body temperature?
hypothalamus
91
New cards
Disease:
\ What is the normal body temperature? (°C)
(Roughly)
37
92
New cards
Disease:
\ Why are fevers important?
Prevents pathogens from reproducing, specific immune system works better at higher temperatures.
93
New cards
Disease:
\ What are specialised white blood cells called?
Phagocytes
94
New cards
Disease:
True/False
\ Macrophages have a lobed nucleus.
False
95
New cards
Disease:
\ What does pus consist of?
Dead neutrophils and pathogens
96
New cards
Disease:
\ What are the 2 main phagocytes called?
Neutrophils, macrophages
97
New cards
Disease:
\ What is the name of the vacuole in which the phagocyte engulfs the pathogen?
Phagosome
98
New cards
Disease:
\ What is it called when the phagosome with the pathogen inside combines with a lysosome?
