Microbial Diseases of the Cardiovascular and lymphatic Systems

Learning can be a bridge between doing and thinking. But there is a danger that the person who uses learning as a bridge between doing and thinking may get stuck in learning and never get into thinking Laura Riding Jackson

Who am I? Although I coined the term complement I am most famous for developing the concept that the body will do everything possible to avoid and auto immune response. I shared the Nobel Prize in 1908 with Elie Metchnifkoff.

Bacterial diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lympatic Systems

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

Identify the role of the lymphatic system in both spreading and eliminating infections. Give specific examples.

List the signs and symptoms of septicemia and give examples of microbes that can cause these signs and symptoms.

List three pathogens that are transmitted by animal bites and scratches

List four diseases transmitted by ticks

Compare and contrast the causative agents, vectors, symptoms, treatments and preventative measurements for microbial diseases that involve insect vectors.

Construct a table that shows the microbial diseases of the cardiovascular and lymphatic system and the pathogen that causes them. Include Bacterial, Viral, Fungal, and Protozoan diseases.
