Keywords

💡Infectious diseases

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. These diseases can spread from person to person or from animals to humans. In the context of the video, infectious diseases are mentioned as conditions that can be caused by microorganisms entering the body, such as through the mouth or nose, and can lead to various health issues.

💡Parasitic infections

Parasitic infections refer to diseases caused by parasites, which are organisms that live in or on a host organism and derive nutrients from it, often causing harm to the host. The video mentions parasitic infections as a type of disease that can be caused by microorganisms, highlighting the variety of health issues that can arise from such infections.

💡Microorganisms

Microorganisms are microscopic living organisms, which include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and some types of parasites. They are discussed in the video as agents that can cause infections and diseases within the body. The script mentions that microorganisms can be found in various environments and can lead to health problems if they enter the human body.

💡Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by the Candida species, often affecting the mouth, throat, esophagus, genitals, and skin. In the video, candidiasis is used as an example of an infection caused by a microorganism, illustrating how certain fungi can lead to health issues when they infect the body.

💡Mycosis

Mycosis is a general term for infections caused by fungi. The video discusses mycosis as an example of a condition that can be caused by microorganisms, emphasizing the role of fungi in causing infections and how they can impact human health.

💡Bacteria

Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be found in various environments, including the human body. Some bacteria are beneficial, while others can cause infections. The video mentions bacteria in the context of microorganisms that can cause infections, highlighting their role in both beneficial and harmful contexts.

💡Intestinal infections

Intestinal infections refer to illnesses that affect the intestines, often caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The video script mentions intestinal infections as a type of disease that can be caused by microorganisms, emphasizing the impact of these infections on the digestive system.

💡Parasites

Parasites are organisms that live on or in a host organism and derive nutrients from it. The video discusses parasites as a cause of certain diseases, such as intestinal infections, and mentions specific parasites like tapeworms (tenia), which can cause health issues when they infect the human body.

💡Host organism

A host organism is an organism that provides a living environment for another organism, often a parasite. In the context of the video, the host organism is the human body, which can be infected by various microorganisms, leading to diseases and infections.

💡Transmission

Transmission refers to the process by which a disease or infection is spread from one organism to another. The video script discusses transmission as a way in which microorganisms can enter the body, for example, through the mouth, nose, or other openings, leading to infections.

💡Hygiene

Hygiene refers to the practices of maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of diseases, especially through the control of infection. The video implies the importance of hygiene by discussing how microorganisms can be found in environments like kitchens and bathrooms, suggesting that maintaining cleanliness can help prevent infections.
