Cancerous Cell Process
Healthy Cell, Genetic Mutations (Caused by carcinogens, cellular error, Inheritance), Damaged cell, Finally Comes Cell Death, differentiation, or excessive mutations leading to cancer cell.
Cancer Develops in..
Most organs, Organs that undergo mitosis.
Heart cancer
unlikely because of little division
Pathogens look for
Excessive mitosis, abnormal structure and function, and increased blood supply.
Tumor
Group of cancer cells
Angiogenesis
forming new blood vessels to feed tumor
Metastasis
cancer cells spreading
Malignant
cancer metastasizes or spreads
Benign
tumors don't metastasize.
Staging
degree of metastasis
Defense to cancer
natural killer cells( type of lymphocyte)
New research: Cancer Prevention
diet/exercise.
New Research: Cancer Detection
Population screening
Angiostatin
blocks angiogenesis
Disease
disruption of homeostasis. Non-infectious or infectious
Infectious disease
caused by pathogens
Types of Pathogens
Viruses, bacteria, protozoans, and fungi
Viruses
take over cells. cannot reproduce on their own.
Bacteria
Produce toxins
Protozoans
reproduce rapidly (Malaria)
Fungi
Consume tissue
Worms
macroscopic and steal nutrients
Epidemic
substantial increase in disease cases
Pandemics
global epidemic
Bubonic Plague
lymph nodes killed 1/3 of europeans
Pheumonic Plaque
Lungs
Septidemic Plague
Bloods
4 categories of public health
Sanitation, nutrition, education, and research.
Medicine
the science of preserving and restoring health.
Anesthesia
blocks movement of Na+ into neurons
Vaccines
Prepare immune system to combat pathogens
Drugs
chemical substance that restore homeostasis (many combat pathogens)
Antibiotics
drugs that kill or inhibit bacteria
Primary barrier to keep pathogens out
skin then secreted products and mucous membranes
Inflammation
blood vessels dilate and flood wound. (swelling and pain) causes blood clotting
Lymphocytes
natural killer cells which release chemicals that kill damaged cells. These are white blood cells
Neutrophils
respond to eicosanoids
Phagocytosis
monocyte becomes a macrophage
Immunity
body learns to identify specific pathogens
Recognitions of T and B Lymphocytes and pathogens
involves molecules on the membrane
Non-specific defense
barriers and inflammmation
Memory B and T Cells
Remember Antigen
Suppressor T Cells
inhibit helper T cells
Basophils
release histamine (Dilates vessels) against parasite.
Eosinophil
Release toxic proteins against bacteria and parasites.
Innate Immunity
Non-Specific response
Acquired Immunity
specific response
Immune System
different organ systems working together to fight pathogens. I.E Lymphatic, cardiovascular, and skeletal
Autoimmune Disease
Insulin dependent disease, (Diabetes, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Immune Deficiency Diseases
HIV/Aids
Hypersensitivity diseases
allergies and mast cells
Small Pox
Two Viruses
Variola Major-pox covers entire body.
Variola Minor-pox don't cover entire body

Repiratory Transmittion





Variolation (Inoculation)
Approx 8th century. Giving a person a disease (Variola Minor) to prevent (Variola major)
Edwards Jenner (18th century england)
father of vaccination, gave gardners kid cowpox to prevent small pox. Memory B and T cells.
World Health Organization (WHO)
declared war on small pox in 1960's, global eradication of polio in 2010
Small pox ended
natural infection of smallpox ended in 1977.
Polio (Poliomyelitis)
fecal to oral transmittion, Richer families had more polio than the poor. Polio changes antigens. Starts in cells of intestines and moves to motor neurons. Most people who experience paralysis recovered. Mortality rate 2% for kids and 20% for adults
Hidden Infections
you can carry the infection and not show symptoms for a while (Polio)
Jonas Salk (1955)
came up with first polio vaccine, he would inject dead virus.
Albert Sabin (1956)
came up with the vaccine we use today by dropping live virus on tongue.
AIDS
(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) New disease with first case in 1940's. Attacks Helper T4 lymphocytes. Hidden Infection possible. AIDS cost a patient around $100,000 per year for medicine.
Genetic Variation is reason vaccine is so hard to make
Antigenic Variation
AIDS has type A-E with no effective vaccine for any.
