NURS 3366- Pathophysiology Test 2 2024 – Exam.
Innate (natural) resistance - ANSWER-defense mechanisms we are born with.
1st line of resistance - ANSWER-body's physical barriers; immediate and non-specific
2nd line of resistance - ANSWER-inflammation; immediate and non-specific
Acquired (adaptive) immunity - ANSWER-3RD line of defense; delayed and specific;
able to resist certain diseases or conditions due to immunocyte involvement
First line of defense - ANSWER-skin and mucous membranes
Stressors that can breach skin defense - ANSWER-lacerations, abrasions, punctures
Eye's defense - ANSWER-tears, eyelashes
sressors that can breach eye's defense - ANSWER-dry eye syndrome, sjogren's
syndrome
Sjogren's syndrome - ANSWER-autoimmune disease that dries up all lubricating fluids
in the body
respiratory system defenses - ANSWER-mucus and hair in nose; cilia of cells in
bronchi; cough reflex
GI system defenses - ANSWER-saliva, stomach acid, gag reflex/vomiting, bowels,
defecation
Genitourinary system defenses - ANSWER-urine flow, vaginal secretions
Inflammation - ANSWER-second line of defense; state on Innate defense; immediate
and nonspecific
S/S of inflammation - ANSWER-swelling, heat, redness and pain
Inflammation Example 1 - ANSWER-first line of defense (skin) is breached with a
laceration -->clot formation to stop bleeding-->scab formed to seal breach
Inflammation Example 2 - ANSWER-meningitis microbe is inhaled (breaches 1st line of
defense mucous membranes)-->inflammation-->inflammation can't heal on it's own and
calls in 3rd line of defense (immunocyte response)-->acquired immunity
immunocyte response - ANSWER-acquired defense; 3rd line of defense; delayed and
specific; results in ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
