QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS VERIFIED A+
●● What is Allostatic Load caused by?.
Answer: Caused by repeated activation of multiple physiologic systems
over time in response to environmental demands in an effort to maintain
internal equilibrium
●● Allostatic Load CAN cause . . ..
Answer: Has the potential to tax the body and brain and lead to the
emergence of diseases and disorder
●● Allostatic Load is "exposure to frequent stressors that cause...".
Answer: - Repeated physiologic arousal
- Lack of adaptation to stressors
- Inability to shut off the stress response
- A response that is not sufficient to deal with the stressor
●● What Factors are Associated with High Allostatic Load.
Answer: - Divorce
- Poverty
- Discrimination
,- Racism
- Marginalization
- Social Determinants of Health
●● What is Inflammation?.
Answer: Natural, nonspecific response that limits the spread of invading
microorganisms or injury
●● What can trigger Inflammation?.
Answer: - Many conditions (physical trauma, burns, infection,
hypersensitivity reactions, tissue necrosis)
- Nonspecific as inflammation proceeds in same manner regardless of
cause
●● Excessive Inflammation Symptoms.
Answer: Minor discomfort - severe discomfort
- disabling pain
- fever
- changed in mobility
●● Types of Immunity.
Answer: Innate (Non-Specific)
Adaptive (acquired) Immunity
,●● Innate Resistance.
Answer: Natural barriers and the inflammatory response
●● Adaptive (acquired) Immunity.
Answer: A type of immunity that develops when a person's immune
system responds to a foreign substance or microorganism (after infection
or vaccination)
- develops through lifetime
●● Lines of Defense.
Answer: First Line
Second Line
Third Line
●● First Line.
Answer: Natural barriers: physical, mechanical and biochemical
●● Second Line: Inflammation.
Answer: Programmed to respond to cellular or tissue damage
- occurs in tissues with blood supply
- rapidly initiated (within seconds)
- depends on activity of cellular and chemical components
, - nonspecific
●● Signs of Inflammatory Response.
Answer: - Erythema (redness)
- Heat
- Edema (swelling)
- Pain
- Loss of function
●● Vascular Response to Inflammation.
Answer: - Blood vessel dilation
- Increased vascular permeability
- Leakage
●● Cellular Response to Inflammation.
Answer: - WBC adherence to inner walls of vessels
- Migration of WBC through vessels (diapedesis)
●● Microbiome.
Answer: Body's surfaces are colonized with an array of microorganisms
- everyone has unique microbiome, based on individual's environment,
diet, exposure to toxins and animals, etc.
