This guide’s quiz has four questions; one matching each objective.

Defense Systems

Explain how the integumentary system, cardiovascular system, skeletal system, and lymphatic system play a role in defense; describe the two non-specific innate defenses and the two specific acquired defenses; and sketch and label the processes of inflammation as well as the two specific defenses, cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immunity.

Immunity

Provide an overview of various blood cells involved in immunity and their roles; describe the lymphatic system, including what lymph is and how it travels through the body; and list various immune disorders. including immune cancers, immunodeficiency, autoimmune, and hypersensitivity diseases.

Eliminating Diseases

List examples of human-to-human, vector, and environmental infectious disease transmission; describe the pathogens, form of transmission, and symptoms associated with smallpox and polio; and explain how vaccines work and why they are critical in controlling infectious diseases.

Persistent Threats

Describe tuberculosis, including the form of transmission, degree of infection without symptoms, possible damage to lungs, global occurrence, and antibiotic resistance; explain how Ebola is transmitted, the impacts on an individual’s body, overall mortality rate, and the status of a vaccine; and describe HIV structure, how it infects cells, the infection that progresses in a human over time, and how AIDS impacts the body.

Guide 7 Journal Assignment #13

Introduced in the Immunity section of this guide:

Journal Page #13: Immune Drawing

Sketch and label the body’s response to a pathogen. Include in your labeled drawing the following 14 components and show what they are doing in the immune response:

wounded cells; cytokines; blood vessel; pathogen; antigen; macrophage; helper T cell; immature (naive) T Cell; cytotoxic T cell; memory T cell; immature B cell; plasma B cell; memory B cell; antibodies

You can have fun with this! We have seen “pac-man” cells, “Mr. T” cells, comic strips, cartoons, mini-plays, and many more creative pieces that have accurately relayed the concepts.

You are turning in an original labeled drawing with all 14 components listed above. Grading is based on cells accurately labeled carrying out their roles within the immune response.

Journal Page #14: Human Body Story

For this guide’s media piece, you are creating a science story.

It can be about any aspect of the human body, including anatomy, physiology, disease, and/or health.

Process of creating a science story:

Select a human body topic that you would like to develop into a story. Topics have included exercise programs, medical emergencies, diet misadventures, and caring for sick relatives.
Determine how you will make your story an engaging (accessible, unique, and/or enlightening) experience (discovery, interaction, and/or synthesis) for the story’s audience.
Select a story form that best fits the engaging science experience you are creating. It could be an exploration, description, explanation, directions, narrative, or persuasive piece. It could also be a combination of these forms.
Create your story. It could be all written, a labeled photo essay, a comic strip, mixed media, or whichever form you feel works best for your goals.

You are turning in

(A) your story.

(B) a brief summary line that indicates (1) the part that is engaging (accessible, unique, and/or enlightening), (2) the science included (concept, skill, and/or connection), (3) the experience (discovery, interaction, and/or synthesis), and (4) the story form used (exploration, description, explanation, directions, narrative, and/or persuasive).

Journal Page Directions

To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.

Upload your two journal pages to Canvas. If the files are really large, it may help to host them on a webpage and submit the web link to reduce upload time.

All three assignments are due by Friday 11:59 p.m. P.T. Once you have taken the quiz on Canvas and uploaded your two journal pages, you have completed this guide.
