BACTERIA: are microscopic living organisms usually once-celled and are found everywhere
TUBERCULOSIS: A cottages and deadly disease it affects the lungs but can spread all over our
body
Immunology: THE BRANCH OF MEDICAL SCIENCE THAT STUDIES THE ODYS IMMUNE SYSTEM
Macrophage: A large phagocyte some are fixed and other circulation in the blood system

Macrophage: A large phagocyte some are fixed and other circulation in the blood system
PHAGOCYTOSIS: The ingestion of bacteria or other material by phagocytes and are bold protozoans.
LYMPHOCYTES: A form of small leukocyte (white blood cells) with a single round nucleus.
T CELLS: A type of blood cell that protects the body from infection
B CELLS: Lymphocytes that mature in the bole marrow and when stimulating by a particular antigen differentiate into plasma cells.

PATHOGENS: An agent that causes disease especially a living microorganims such as a bacterium.
ANTIBODIES: Proteins that are recruit by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses

VIRUS: A substance that when introduced into the body and stimulates the production of an antibody
Antigen: Any substance that can stimulate the production of antibodies and combine specifically with them.
Pandemic: Epidemic over a large area.
Influenza: An acute commonly epidemic disease, occurring in several forms, caused by numerous rapidly mutating viral strains and characterized by respiratory symptoms and general prostration.

Immunology Question
1. Tuberculosis is a disease affecting ______________________the lungs_____.
2. What do macrophages attack? ________________foreingn substances______________.
3. Streptomycin is an antibiotic that works against what disease? ________tuberculosis__________________.
4. Who was Robert Koch?
a german physician who was considered as one of the founders of bicteriology
5. What is immunization and how does immunization work?
works by preparing a childs body to fight illness. each immunization contains wather a dead or weakened germs that cause a particular disease
6. How do T-cells and B-cells help the immune system remember pathogens?
when B cells and T cells are activated and being to replicate some of their offsprings will become long-lived memory cells.
7. What is the difference between bacteria and viruses?
a diffrence between viriuses and bacteria it that viruius must have a living hostlike aplant or animalsto mulitiply while most bacteria can grow an a non living surface
8. Polio and influenza are caused by _________________poliovirus_______.
9. How do antibiotics fight disease?
they only attack the bacterial present in the code and causing the disease. it also has the ability to convert glucose in the body into energy. It allows them to enter the cell.
10. Why are antibiotics NOT effective against viruses?
because they are only effective against living pathogens land virisous are not considered living because they cant repreduce
11. Discuss why the development of sanitation methods has been effective in fighting diseases.
