Besides other factors, imbalances in the diet lead to ill health or diseases.
Question 9. Define the following terms:
(i) Disease–any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury.
(ii) Endemic disease– diseases present in particular reason.
(iii) Pandemic disease–A pandemic is a disease outbreak that spreads across countries or continents. It affects more people and takes more lives than an epidemic
(iv) Vaccine–a mild form of a disease that is put (injected) into a person or an animal’s blood using a needle (an injection) in order to protect the body against that disease
(v) Immunity–a condition of being able to resist a particular disease especially through preventing development of a pathogenic microorganism or by counteracting the effects of its products
(vi) Antibiotic—A drug used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms.

(iii) Vaccine and Antiserum–Vaccine is a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases while antiserum is a blood serum containing antibodies against specific antigens, injected to treat or protect against specific diseases
Question 11. What are the two broad types of diseases?
Answer : Diseases can be grouped into two types: communicable , which are caused by pathogens and can be transferred from one person to another, or from one organism to another – in humans these include measles, food poisoning and malaria. non-communicable , which are not transferred between people or other organisms
Question 12. Define communicable diseases and give three examples.
Answer : A communicable disease is a disease that spreads from one person or animal to another ex- HIV, hepatitis A, B and C, measles, salmonella, measles, and blood-borne illnesses.
Question 13. Define non-communicable diseases and give three examples.
Answer : The diseases that are caused due to the improper functioning of a body organ are called non-communicable disease. These diseases are neither passed on from one person to another nor caused by pathogens ex cancers, chronic respiratory diabetes.
Question 14. What is a pathogen?
Answer : A pathogen is an organism that causes disease.
Question 15. Mention the general methods of prevention and control of diseases.
Answer : The infectious diseases may be prevented in one of two general ways: (1) by preventing contact, and therefore transmission of infection, between the susceptible host and the source of infection and (2) by rendering the host unsusceptible, either by selective breeding or by induction of an effective artificial immunity.
Question 16. Expand BCG, ORS, AIDS and DPT.
Answer : BCG-Bacillus Calmette- Guerin vaccine, ORS–Oral rehydration solutions, , AIDS — Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, DPT– Diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus
Question 17 Name three diseases each caused by bacteria and viruses
Answer : bacterial diseases include cholera, diphtheria, bacterial meningitis, tetanus, Lyme disease, gonorrhea, and syphilis Viruses cause familiar infectious diseases such as the common cold, flu HIV/AIDS, COVID-19
Question 18. Name three diseases caused by parasitic helminths. Give their causal organisms.
Answer : The most common helminthiases are those caused by infection with intestinal helminths, ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm,
Question 19. What is the importance of keeping the hair, teeth and finger nails clean? How would you keep them clean?
Answer : skin, hair and nails and good oral hygiene are all factors that contribute to keeping healthy. Personal hygiene is important for good health,
Question 20. What are body’s own lines of defense?
Answer : Skin, tears and mucus are part of the first line of defence in fighting infection. They help to protect us against invading pathogens
Question 21. What are health aids?
Answer : antiseptic and disinfections antitoxin serum antibiotic immunity are main health aids.
Question 22. Mention two functions each of
(a) World Health Organisation—The main functions of WHO are: (i) To promote in co-operation with other specialized agencies, the improvement of nutrition like drinking water and sanitation, housing, economic and working conditions, environmental hygiene, and maternal and child health, including family planning
