Viruses and Disease

Today we watched a video about our body's internal defences against viruses.
The following are the answers for the fill in the blank notes:
  1. debris, irritates
  2. increased blood flow
  3. swollen glands, neck
  4. lymphatic system
  5. white
  6. 1-protects blood from invaders, 2-removes useless or harmful cells, 3-is a "breaker's yard" for old red blood cells (i.e. it takes them apart, parts that are still good can be re-used)
  7. white
  8. lymphocytes
  9. antibodies
  10. outer coat
  11. memory

We also got a review sheet to help us study for the Virus Quiz.

Homework:

  • review sheet #9-12 due next class (Fri.)
  • Virus Quiz Friday (Nov. 7) will cover class notes, video notes, review sheet, and textbook homework
