1 Chapter 8 Human Health and Diseases Health absence of disease or physical fitness state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. To maintain good health. Achieving good health. increases longevity of people reduces infant and maternal mortality. Balanced diet, personal hygiene and regular exercise are very important Awareness about diseases and their effect on different bodily functions, vaccination (immunisation)against infectious diseases, proper disposal of wastes, control of vectors maintenance of hygienic food and water resources 54

2 Two Types of Diseases Infectious VIRUSES - COLD BACTERIA -TYPHOID, PNEUMONIA FUNGI - RING WORM HELMINTUS - FILARIA, ASCARIASIS PROTOZOAN -MALARIA Mode of Transmission Non-infectious Cancer, AIDS, Drug and Alcohol abuse Cause AIR WATER PHYSICAL CONTACT ANIMALS Physical Exercise Stress management Lack of exercise personal hygiene, life style Balanced diet, carcinogens Awareness vaccination COMMON INFECTIOUS DISEASES 55

3 STRUCTURE OF ANTIBODY MOLECULE 56

4 Primary Lymphoid Organ 1. Bone Marrow 2.Thymus Secondary Lymphoid Organ 1. Spleen 2. Lymph Nodes 3. Peyer s Patch 4. Tonsils 5. Mucosal Associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) Function: Provide Present in small microenvironment For the development and Maturation of lymphocyte Function: 1. Spleen: Filter the microbes from blood 2. Lymph Nodes: Trap the microorganisms 3. Peyer s Patch: Intestine ntestine and help In the formation of effector celles 4. Tonsils: Trap microbes entering through Mouth 5. MALT: Traps Microbes 57

5 TYPES OF ACQUIRED IMMUNITY Active Immunity - Antibody produced within own body - it is long lasting - Does not Cause allergy - Takes time to activate Passive Immunity - Antibodies transferred from another individual. - Not long lasting. - Sometimes cause allergy -Provides immediate relief. Vaccination and Immunization Vaccination refers to the administration of any vaccine. Immunization is the process by which the body produces antibodies in response to the vaccine to fight infections. Vaccine is a preparation of antigenic proteins of pathogens or inactivated/weakened pathogen. It is introduced into the body to generate antibodies which can neutralize the pathogens during actual infection. Vaccines also generate memory B & T cells that recognize the pathogens quickly. Vaccines that contain performed antibodies produce quick immune response and provide Passive Immunity e.g. vaccines against tetanus & snakebite. Other vaccines provide Active Immunity e.g. oral polio vaccine, BCG, cholera vaccine. Allergies The exaggerated response/hypersensitiveness of the immune system of a person to certain antigens coming in contact with or entering into the body is called allergy. Auto-immunity It is a condition when structural & functional damage is caused due to the attack of the self cells of the body by its own immune cell. Examples : Rheumatoid arthritis, Insulin- dependent diabetes. 58

8 QUESTIONS 1. Why do children of metro cities of India suffer from allergies and asthma? 2. How does saliva and tear help to prevent bacterial infection? 3. What is vaccination?how does it help to produce immunity? 4. Write the full form of ELISA. Give an example of the clinical application of ELISA? 5. What are the advantages of people being healthy? 6. A) Name the respective forms in which the malarial parasite gains entry into I) Human body and Ii) Body of female Anopheles B) Name the hosts where the sexual and the asexual reproduction of malarial parasite occur respectively. C) Name the toxin responsible for the appearance of symptoms of malaria in humans. Why do these symptoms occur periodically? 7. Define innate immunity. Name and explain the category of barrier which involves macrophages. 8. What is meant by writing H2L2 for an antibody? Name any four types of antibodies produced in our/human body? 9. How do normal cells get transformed into cancerous neoplastic cells? Mention the differences between viral oncogenes and cellular oncogenes. 10. Explain metastasis. Why is it fatal? 11. (1 ) Lymphocytes are of two types why are they called so? (2 ) The lymphocytes are of two types B and T-cells. Why are they called so? HOTS 1. A person was injured in a road accident and required an urgent immune response. What should be done? 2. The immune system of a person is suppressed. In ELISA test he tested positive i) Name the diseases associated with it. ii)why did he loose his immunity. 3. Which organ can trap the microbes in the body fluid? Lymph 4. A person claimed that he has seen sounds, heard colours and smelt light. I)What could be the possible reason? Ii) Name two chemicals responsible for this conditions. Iii) Mention any one source for these chemicals. 5. Write the full form of ELISA. Give an example of the clinical application of ELISA? 6.What are the advantages of people being healthy? 7..A) Name the respective forms in which the malarial parasite gains entry into I) Human body and Ii) Body of female Anopheles B) Name the hosts where the sexual and the asexual reproduction of malarial parasite occur respectively. C) Name the toxin responsible for the appearance of symptoms of malaria in humans. Why do these symptoms occur periodically? 8. Define innate immunity.
