Defense Systems Objectives

Overview & Barriers

Describe how the integumentary system, cardiovascular system, skeletal system, and lymphatic system play a role in defense; list the two non-specific innate defenses and the two specific acquired defenses; and provide examples of barriers that keep pathogens and parasites out of the body.

Inflammation

Outline each step of inflammation, including why it is an important process and the role of white blood cells; list different inflammatory diseases that have appeared throughout this course; and match different forms of visualization with the information that is being conveyed. 

Cell-Mediated Immunity

Define what an antigen is and explain how it relates to defending against pathogens; describe the steps of cell-mediated immunity, including the cells that are involved in the process; and explain how HIV and the Yersinia bacteria that cause the plague negatively impact the immune response.

Antibody-Mediated Immunity

Define what an antibody is and explain how it adheres to a pathogen; outline the steps of the antibody-mediated immune response; and explain why memory B and memory T cells are important.

Defense Systems Quiz

Quiz Directions

Complete all four sections and take the quiz on Canvas.

Use the learning objectives above to guide your studying.

Defense Systems Media

Introduced in Inflammation section of this guide:

For this media assignment, you are producing a data visualization about the body data you have been collecting over the past several weeks. You can choose one of your forms of data, or multiple forms. For example, if you monitored sleep patterns, meals, and activity, you could decide to make a data visualization comparing meals to levels of activity, or just patterns of sleep throughout the weeks. Select the data you find the most interesting to work into a data visualization.

The data visualization you are turning in:

is in a figure format that you feel accurately represents the data. This could be a line chart, bar chart, scatterplot, pie chart, histogram, cartogram (map), or something less conventional.
clearly presents the data with a title, labels, and/or key as needed.
has an engaging design that captures attention. This could be color, patterns, texture, 3D modeling, a witty shape, or whatever you create.

Have some fun with this; you can be creative and still convey accurate information.

Media Directions

To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.

Upload your body data visualization to Canvas. If the file is really large, it may help to host it on a webpage and submit the web link to reduce upload time.

Human Biology Portfolio

Portfolio Directions

Your body data visualization may be an excellent piece to add to your final portfolio. Consider adding this piece to your portfolio so you can check off another example of course outcome mastery.
