What describes a chromosomal defect caused by Prader-Willi syndrome? - Prader-Willi
syndrome is caused by a disorder of a portion of chromosome 15. Normally, a portion of
this chromosome is inherited from both parents. With Prader-Willi syndrome, the
chromosome inherited from the father is problematic.
Which action is a purpose of the inflammatory process? - Prevent infection of the injured
tissue
The inflammatory response is a defense mechanism designed to remove damaged
tissue so the body can heal.
Which leukocytes are elevated in response to acute inflammatory reactions when
considering white blood cell differentials?
Monocytes
Neutrophils
Basophils
Eosinophils - Neutrophils are one of the first responders to acute inflammation, and an
increase in neutrophils demonstrates an acute inflammatory response.
Which type of immunity is produced by an individual after either natural exposure to the
antigen or after immunization against the antigen? - Active-acquired immunity or
naturally acquired active immunity occurs when an individual is exposed to a live
pathogen and develops the disease or becomes immune as a result of a vaccine.
Which characteristics do atopic individuals have that make them genetically
predisposed to develop allergies? - The greater quantities of IgE in atopic individuals
make them genetically predisposed to develop allergies. IgE mediates the immune
response to allergens; therefore, the more IgE one has, the stronger the response can
,be to an allergen. Think of it as having more soldiers in the army to fight the war.
A healthcare professional is conducting community education on vaccinations.
Which statement about vaccines should the professional include in the presentation? -
Vaccines require booster injections to maintain life-long protection.
Most vaccines require a booster to increase immunity. The initial effects of a vaccine
may diminish over time, and boosters improve protection against disease.
Which term describes an agent's ability to produce disease? - Pathogenicity refers to an
organism's ability to create or produce disease.
,What are signs and symptoms of Cri du Chrat Syndrome? - DNA deletion of
chromosome 5. low birth weight, mental retardation, microencephaly, and cat like cry
What are the 3 layers of human defense? - Physical, Mechanical, biochemical barriers
What happens in the physical layer of human defense. - protect against damage and
infection are composed of tightly associated epithelial cells including those of the skin
and of the membranous sheets lining the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and respiratory
tracts.
What is the second line of defense and the process? - Inflammatory response- rapid
and nonspecific, protective response to cellular injury from any cause. It can occur only
in vascularized tissue.
How do acute and chronic inflammation differ? - Acute- Short duration, 8-10 days from
onset to healing.
Chronic inflammation- can be a continuation of acute inflammation that last 2 weeks or
longer. It can also occur as a distinct process without much preceding acute
inflammation
What three systemic changes associated with acute inflammatory response - Fever,
leukocytosis, plasma protein synthesis
How does the inflammatory response differ in neonates? - Neonates often have
transiently depressed inflammatory function, particularly neutrophil chemotaxis and
alternative complement activity.
Hypersensitivity Response- I vs II - I - IgE mediated- primary cause of common
allergies. Binds with mast cells which release histamine. (initiates allergic reaction).
Histamine release leads to bronchial smooth muscle contraction, bronchoconstriction,
and immune response
II- tissue specific- wrong blood type administered or hemolytic disease of the
A vaccine is what kind of immunity - Adaptive
Active immunization is produced by - an individual in response to an antigen or after
immunization.
What are some common diseases that are categorized as multifactorial in nature? -
HTN, CAD, Cancers, Diabetes, Obesity, Alzheimer's Disease
Symptoms of Chronic suppurative otitis media - Chronic suppurative otitis media- will
have hearing loss, purulent drainage, ear pain.
