Scribe...

Yesterday:
In the beginning of class we got stamped for our home work which was page 32, primary and secondary immune response. And also 37-40, HIV Infection and T Cell Counts. Then we had a quiz that was on 35.2 and 35.5 (which we had to read carefully). We also did it with a partner :D. After we were all done with the quiz we took notes and talked about Acquired immunity. Active immunity is when your body produces antibodies. And passive immunity is when antibodies are obtained passively. The last think we did was watch a video about malaria. Malaria is an protist. The vector is the mosquito. And it is transmitted by bites. This can be prevented by i think a bed net which you sleep under which cost five dollars.

Today:
In the beginning of class today we started out with going over the quiz we had yesterday on 35.4 and 35.5. We also did our disease of the day. And today's disease was Lyme disease. The agent of disease is bacteria. It is spread through the black-legged ticks. For the rest of the class we asked questions about the test we have tomorrow.

(it wasnt letting me post any pictures...)
Next scribe is Mike. Hopefully he will remember.

I have trouble with what happens after the macrophage consumes the virus. And how the T cell activates the helper T cells. Help? :(

Muddiest Point

Hey, guys I'm kind of confused on the difference between a regular T-cel and a helper T-cell. Also I'm kind of confused on how T-cells change into helper T-cells.

Muddiest Point

My muddiest point is the process after antigens go into the macrophage, the example Ms. Stein showed in class. I'm kind of confused on what all the different T cells are doing after that.

Muddiest Point!

Hi, Heidi here!

What I'm confused about is all the DEFINITIONS and what they DO. For example like what is BACTERIOPHAGE?? and PROPHAGE?? I'm always LOST when in class Mrs. Stein talks about this. Other things I get confused on are BINARY FISSION, PHAGOCYTE, ACTIVE/PASSIVE IMMUNITY, MACROPHAGE, and lastly HISTAMINES... I KNOW its a lot that I'm confused on but at least one thing being defined would be nice! THANKs!

p.s. Sorry I couldn't make it as beautiful and colorful as I wanted it, so that whoever reads it would be entertained as well. :) Somethings messed up with the program..... I guess. :(

DID I JUST HEAR YOU SAY MUDD-I-E-S-T POINT?!

HEY! Rachie here! :) Muddiest Point.... Let's see... Well, mine has to be about the Memory B/Memory T cells. I dont get the difference! :(

It's Jarod!


At the start of class we turned in the unit packet pages 13-18. Those pages were about how bacteria grows and how some of the antibiotics we used had killed them in their tracks. That assignment lead us in to a talk on how some bacteria could live in the zone of inhibition(to the right). Even thought you can't see it there are tiny colonies of bacteria that are in that zone right now! These bacteria are resistant to that antibiotic. The way that they can live there is because ether went threw spontaneous mutation or conjugation. Those are some big words. I hope you took notes! After we did the DOD which was Tuberculosis. The agent was bacteria itself and it is highly contagious and it's a huge health concern. Then we did a little lab on how a girl fell of her bike and got infected with bacteria and went to the hospital. They tried many antibiotics on her and she got better. some were able to resist antibiotics A,C,D. I won't tell you the answer myself. All of the above concluded the day.


The next scribe is Mark.
