    Infection: LO: Describe The Main Routes Pathogens Take Into The Body, and Describe The Non-Immune Response

    Uploaded by

    Kevin Patel
    The document describes the main routes pathogens use to enter the body, including vectors, fomites, direct contact, inhalation, and ingestion. It then discusses the non-immune barriers the body uses to prevent pathogens from causing infection, such as the skin, mucus, stomach acid, and natural gut flora. Students are assigned to read about and explain these physical barriers of the skin, internal epithelial cells, and gut on a poster of the human body.

    LO : Describe the main routes pathogens take into the body, and describe the non-immune response.

    Game Time!

    How are pathogens communicable?


    Vectors (living organisms such as mosquito malaria) Fomites (towel in hospital MRSA) Direct Contact (genitals gonorrhoea)

    Inhalation ( breathing T.B.)


    Ingestion (diet salmonella) Inoculation (break in skin HIV)

    Lets get SILLY!

    Read p92 Group A : Vectors & Inhalation Group B : Fomites & Ingestion Group C : Direct Contact & Inoculation

    Barriers to Entry

    The body has a range of defences to harmful pathogens

    before action of the immune system is needed

    Skin

    Skin is impenetrable layer toughened

    by keratin, which protects tissue underneath.


    Secretes Sebum which contains

    chemicals that inhibit the growth of micro-organisms.


    Natural skin flora competition

    Washing too often can be bad for you!

    Internal Epithelial Cells

    Produce mucus to trap

    pathogens
    Mucus contains lysozymes,

    enzyme which destroys bacterial cell walls.


    Lysozymes very effective with

    gram + bacteria, as they break down exposed peptidoglycan.


    Tears also contain lysozymes

    More Internal Epithelial

    Gut

    Saliva is bactericidal :

    destroy bacteria or slow growth


    Stomach acid Competition with gut flora Vomiting

    Poster Time
    Read p93/94 On your human body

    explain the physical barriers to pathogen entry.

    TASK/HOMEWORK

    Read HSW box on p95 Do you think there methods were unorthodox? Why? Answer Q1-3 on p95 in detail (this will be marked,

    handed in tomorrow)
