Chapter 14 – Principles of Disease and Epidemiology Pathology Infection and Disease 1. Pathology is the scientific study of disease – concerned with cause (etiology) and manner in which disease develops (pathogenesis) - Also concerned with structural and functional changes brought about by disease and final effects on the body 2. Infection – invasion or colonization of the body by pathogenic microorganisms 3. Disease – when infection results in change in state of health Normal Microbiota

Week #1 -autotrophs are organisms that harvest light or chemical energy in organic compounds. They self nutrition -heterotrophs are organisms that get complex nutrients from the environment (by eating other organisms) -Fungi are heterotrophs or predators because they are parasitic. Bread mold secretes digestive enzymes to enter the membrane. Same as foot fungus‚ it extends hyphae (fungal branches) into the cells to absorbs nutrients -One fungus makes traps for nematode worms while another fungus

the ecosystem that influence and affect the organisms living within it (Dictionary.com‚ 2009). Biotic factors are created by living organisms within the environment which are affected from the interaction of organisms. Such factors are predation‚ mutualism and commensalism (Biology Online‚ 2014). As you can see in the graph of Air temperature in and outside the riparian zone (as seen in the graph) it is clear that the temperature inside the riparian zone is cooler than the outside.
