Standard 8-1
Students will describe the NONSPECIFIC
and SPECIFIC defenses of the human
immune system
What are the body’s nonspecific defenses against
pathogens?
First Line of Defense = intact skin
Inflammation, Fever, and Defense chemicals
What is the function of the immune system’s
specific defenses?
Vaccines and antibodies attack specific pathogens.
Standard 8-2
Students will describe the immune
system’s ability to distinguish “self” vs.
“others”.
What does the term “self” mean?
The immune system recognizes your cells as normal and
belonging.
What does the term “others” mean?
The immune system recognizes other cells as abnormal and
should be destroyed.
What 2 events must occur for the SPECIFIC immune system to
be functional?
Recognition of “others” and accurate response for defense.
Standard 8-3
Students will describe how the body
responds to vaccinations and borrowed
antibodies.
What is a vaccination?
The injection of a weakened form of a pathogen to
produce immunity.
What type of response does vaccination provide?
Active Immunity
What type of immunity does a pregnant mother
pass along to her fetus during pregnancy?
Passive, or Borrowed, Immunity
Standard 8-4

measures that help to protect

to protect our citizens.
Clean water and sanitation, food monitoring,
vaccine programs.

• Thickness (viscosity) of blood
• Force of heart contractions
• Blockage of blood vessels
• Pressure of blood in arteries (high or low bp)
