Virus is a toxin or poison. It is a microscopic organism consisting of genetic material. They cannot reproduce without a host cell. When it gets this host cell‚ it takes over its functions. The cells then continue to reproduce‚ and reproduces more viral protein. Viruses can spread from person to person‚ and by exchange of salvia‚ coughing‚ sneezing. Fungi are skin infections caused by dermatophytes and yeasts‚ which are groups of fungi that are normally harmless. When these grow excessively‚ it

Biology of Health and Illness Factors which affect the normal functioning of two body systems TASK 1 The body ’s first line of defence against pathogens uses mostly physical and chemical barriers such as sweat‚ skin‚ tears‚ mucus‚ stomach acid‚ and so on. Our skin and other membranes which line the body passages are fairly effective in keeping most pathogens out of the body. Mucus can trap pathogens‚ which are then washed away or destroyed by chemicals. Tears‚ sweat‚ and saliva have certain
