Chapter 26.3, Problem 1QC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The functions of the pulmonary system.
Concept introduction: The pulmonary system is a biological system that consists of specific organs and structures used for the gas exchange in animals. The processes of the pulmonary system include the transport of air in or out of the cell, the transport of the air spaces in the lungs and the blood stream, and the transport of the blood in and out of the capillary beds of the lungs and to the body organs and tissues. Bronchial circulation is the balancing circulation to the pulmonary circulation.

Question
1. Explain the intricate relationship between pathogens, hosts, and environmental factors in the transmission of infectious diseases, utilising the chain of transmission as a framework. For each link in the chain, provide a specific, detailed example of a real-world infectious disease and how that link applies to its transmission cycle.
2. Analyse how alterations or interventions targeting each specific link in the chain can eectively prevent or control the spread of that chosen disease, discussing both individual-level and public health strategies. Discuss how environmental changes can impact specific links in the chain and influence the emergence or re-emergence of infectious diseases.
Rubric
Explanation of the chain of transmission and its components - thorough, accurate description of all six links in the chain (agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, susceptible host)
Real-world examples for each link in the chain using one infectious…
