Document Summary

Describe which factors are considered modifiable and which ones are not modifiable. The multifactorial concept of disease is caused by the interaction of several factors inside and outside. For a disease to occur the host must have a weakened immune system making them more susceptible. Pathogens can enter the body through several routes of transmission; they can be transmitted by direct contact between infected persons, such as sexual relations, kissing, touching or by indirect contact. You can autoinoculate yourself, by touching one infected part of the body and touching a non-infected part of your body, which then transmit the infection. Some of the factors that can be controlled are stress, nutrition, fitness, sleep, drug abuse, and hygiene. While some factors that cannot be changed are heredity, aging, organism virulence and resistance, environmental conditions. 2. when an antigen enters the body, describe the process through which the body produces antibodies.
