Communicable disease - A disease that can be transmitted from one person to another or from an animal to a person.
Indirect contact - Transmission of a disease through contact with contaminated objects or surfaces.
Direct contact - Transmission of a disease through physical contact with an infected person or animal.
Air-borne - Transmission of a disease through respiratory droplets in the air.
Insulin - A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels.
Blood-borne - Transmission of a disease through contact with contaminated blood or other bodily fluids.
Tumor - Abnormal growth of cells that forms a mass in the body.
Non-communicable disease - A disease that cannot be transmitted from one person to another, typically caused by lifestyle factors or genetics.
Immune system - The body's defense system against pathogens, consisting of various cells, tissues, and organs.
Pathogens - Microorganisms or substances that can cause disease, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
1. Communicable disease - A disease that can be transmitted from one person to another through various means such as direct or indirect contact, air, or vectors.
2. Indirect contact - Transmission of infectious agents from one person to another through intermediary objects or surfaces, such as touching contaminated objects or shaking hands.
3. Direct contact - Transmission of infectious agents from one person to another through physical contact, such as touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse.
4. Air-borne - Refers to a disease that can be transmitted through the air by respiratory droplets or dust particles.
5. Insulin - A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats in the body. It is used to treat diabetes by controlling blood glucose levels.
6. Blood-borne - Refers to diseases that are transmitted through contact with infected blood, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
7. Tumor - An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells divide and grow uncontrollably. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
8. Non-communicable disease - A disease that cannot be transmitted from one person to another, usually caused by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, or environmental factors. Examples include heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
9. Immune system - The body's defense system that protects against harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, as well as foreign substances and abnormal cells.
10. Pathogens - Microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, that can cause diseases in their hosts.
To match the definitions with the given terms, let's first provide a list of definitions for each term:
- Communicable disease: A disease that can be transmitted from one person to another through various means, such as physical contact, air, or contaminated objects.
- Indirect contact: Transmission of a disease from one person to another through an intermediary source, generally contaminated objects or surfaces.
- Direct contact: Transmission of a disease from one person to another through physical contact, such as touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse.
- Air-borne: Refers to the transmission of disease through tiny respiratory droplets suspended in the air, which can be inhaled by others.
- Insulin: A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels in the body. It is necessary for individuals with diabetes to help manage their condition.
- Blood-borne: Pertaining to diseases that are transmitted through contact with infected blood, often through needle sharing or transfusions.
- Tumor: An abnormal mass or growth of cells that can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
- Non-communicable disease: A disease that cannot be transmitted from one person to another and is not caused by infectious agents. Examples include heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
- Immune system: The complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that defend the body against infections and diseases.
- Pathogens: Microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that cause diseases in humans or other organisms.
Now, let's match the definitions with the terms:

4. Air-borne - Refers to the transmission of disease through tiny respiratory droplets suspended in the air, which can be inhaled by others.
5. Insulin - A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels in the body. It is necessary for individuals with diabetes to help manage their condition.
6. Blood-borne - Pertaining to diseases that are transmitted through contact with infected blood, often through needle sharing or transfusions.
7. Tumor - An abnormal mass or growth of cells that can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
8. Non-communicable disease - A disease that cannot be transmitted from one person to another and is not caused by infectious agents. Examples include heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
9. Immune system - The complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that defend the body against infections and diseases.
10. Pathogens - Microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that cause diseases in humans or other organisms.
