8 When the Immune system recognises a non-self antigen It
prepares a specific reaction tot In the form of a pratein
{hat binds to antigens on the pathogens calls. Ths
incapactates them and attracts phogocytes to dispose of
them. There are five main categories of these proteins and
several cellular Interact ons invalved with their production
10 Caused by bacterial toxins on undercooked or
contaminated food
12 Transmission via €o
airoorne partides.
15 Produced by many bacteria including Clostridium tetani
(Tetanus) and Treponema palidum (Syphilis) - which
‘cause the person to develop neurological symptoms.
16 white cells Ingest and digest invading microbes as 2 non
Specie Immune response.
18 The abilty to build a long term memory by specialised
functions of the T Lymphocyte Cells and their ability to
store information about previously encountered pathogens
19 Structures (usually proteins) found on the surface of
every cel. Invading organisms also carry them and
Antibodies are formed to be specific for them,
20 Site of pathogen entry Respiratory tract, Gastrointestinal
‘tract, Urogenital tract breaks in the skin.
21.An insect or animal that carties a pathogen fram one hast

DOWN,
1 Transmission via kissing, sexual Intercourse, or sharing of
bodily fluids
2 Physical and chemical barriers to prevent pathogens from
invading the body and first line cellular defence
‘mechanisms,
3 Exposing individuals to spectic pathogenic microbes
wich artificially Increases their immunity towards I.
4 Play a key role in maintaining life on earth including fixing
(gasses and breaking down organic matte” into simpler
Substances. Also produce useful substances.
5 Key functions of tne Immune system,
6 present in large numbers in and on 3 host with a symbiotic
Felationship.
7. Amicroorganism that has the potential to cause disease.
9 Chemical compounds produced by sol fungi and bacteria,
that are used to treat bacterial infections by Killing the,
bacteria, or preventing cells from multiplying so the host's
defence mechanisms can fight the infection
10s the escape of a pathogen from one host and transported
to another.
11 Sebum, Gastrointestinal pH, Lysozymes (in saliva and
tears),
13 Meerosrganisms that are na longer killed or inhibited by
an antibictie that they were previously sensitive to
Because of misuse of antibiotics. MRSA is an example of
this,
14 Invasion and multiplication of pathogenic microbes in an
individual or population.
17 When an infection causes damage to the individuals vital
functions or syste.
