John Snow|
The Drummer
Was the First to Die by Liz Pennywitt Taylor
In
1854, when a cholera epidemic erupts in India and travels a killing route
west toward London, noted anesthesiologist Dr. John Snow dedicates himself
to discovering the source of the devastating disease. |
| Day 2 |
| Topic 18-1 Infectious Disease |

I can ... Explain the relationship between pathogens and infectious disease. List the kinds of pathogens that cause infectious diseases in humans. Identify four sources of pathogens. |
| State Goals 12.A.1a Identify and describe the component parts of living things and their major functions. 12.A.1b Categorize living organisms using a variety of observable features. |
Classwork-Homework
On the BoardPathogen: any agent that causes disease Infectious Disease: disease caused by the presence of a living thing within the body Toxin: poison White Blood Cell: cell that protects the body against disease Antigen: signal molecule that produces an immune response Antibody: molecule the body makes to protect itself from disease Contagious: can be spread from one person to another

| Classwork-Homework
On the Board Noninfectious Disease: diseases not caused by pathogens Allergy: immune system is sensitive to a foreign substance Allergen: a substance that causes an allergy Histamine: chemical that is responsible for the symptoms of an allergy Asthma: a disorder where the reparatory passages narrow significantly Insulin: enables body cells to take in glucose from the blood and use as energy Diabetes: pancreas fails to produce enough insulin or the body cells fail to use insulin properly Tumor: mass or lump of cells Carcinogen: substances or factors that can cause cancer Benign Tumor: mass of cells that is usually harmless Malignant Tumor: harmful mass of cells that can spread throughout the body

| Levels of Organization In unicellular (single-celled)
organisms, the single cell performs all life functions. It functions independently.
However, multicellular (many celled) organisms have various levels of organization within
them. Individual cells may perform specific functions (causing a division of labor) and
work together for the good of the entire organism. The cells become dependent on one
another. Explore Cells, Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems, and Organisms. |
