What else can I help you with?
Does pathogens attack human tissue?
Yes, pathogens can attack human tissue by invading and multiplying within the body, leading to infection and disease. They can disrupt normal cell functions, cause damage to tissues, and trigger the immune system response.
How can you describe two ways that bacteria cause disease?
Bacteria can cause disease by producing toxins that damage host cells or interfere with normal cellular function. Additionally, bacteria can invade host tissues and disrupt normal physiological processes, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.
What group includes any bacteria that causes disease and decay?
They are all called bacteria and are in that group. As to these 'special' types we would call them pathogens. Almost any bacteria can become a pathogen if it finds itself in the 'wrong' or not normal environment.
Is A disease is a preparation of dead or weakened pathogens that is introduced into the body to cause the immune response?
No, that description refers to a vaccine, not a disease. A disease is an abnormal condition of a living organism that disrupts normal bodily functions, often caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Vaccines, on the other hand, are designed to stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens without causing the disease itself.
What are the types of Arthritis?
RheumatoidOsteoarthritis.
What diseasecausing agents such as viruses bacteria and worms called?
Disease-causing agents like viruses, bacteria, and worms are called pathogens. They can invade the body and cause illnesses by disrupting normal bodily functions and triggering immune responses.
How do pathogens cause disease?
Some produce toxins, while others invade cells or tissues and then produce toxins. Even when localized in the body, such infections can have systemic effects. Symptoms are often a result of the body over-reacting in its own defence.
What is the difference between a primary and an opportunistic pathogen?
Primary Pathogens are the microorganisms that cause diseases in healthy individual. Opportunistic Pathogens are the microorganisms that are ordinarily in contact with the host and cause disease when the host's resistance is low.
How does resident normal flora protect the body against pathogens?
Resident normal flora compete with pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby preventing pathogens from colonizing and causing infections. Additionally, normal flora can produce substances that inhibit the growth of pathogens or modulate the immune response to promote defense against invading pathogenic organisms.
What is the difference between harmless microorganisms and pathogens?
Harmless microorganisms are typically not harmful to humans and may even provide benefits, such as aiding digestion. Pathogens, on the other hand, are microorganisms that can cause disease or infection in their host. Pathogens are often identified by their ability to disrupt normal bodily functions or trigger an immune response.
Any agent capable of producing disease-?
Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites are capable of causing disease in humans. These agents can enter the body through various routes and disrupt normal physiological functions, leading to illness and symptoms. Prompt identification and treatment of the specific pathogen are essential to manage and control disease.
What do pathogens cause?
Many pathogens enter the body through the mouth and nose.The linings of the mouth, throat and nose produce mucus which can trap bacteria. This mucus is periodically swallowed and the acid in the stomach kills most of the bacteria. So that's how we get colds and why pathogens make us feel icky and ill.
