NURS 3366- Pathophysiology Test 2 Questions
With Correct Verified Answers
antibodies -Answer:-Protein that is produced by lymphocytes and that
attaches to a specific antigen.
T lymphocytes (T cells) -Answer:-defend the body by direct attack against
invading microbes
B lymphocytes (B cells) -Answer:-differentiate into plasma cells that produce
antibodies to the microbe that has attacked the body
active acquired immunity -Answer:-a form of immunity where the body
makes antibodies against a particular disease
natural active acquired immunity -Answer:-when a persons plasma cells build
up antibodies in response to a microbially-induced illness (meningitis
example)
artificial active acquired immunity -Answer:-when a person's plasma cells
build up antibodies in response to receiving inoculations of a much-weakened
or inactive microbe (ex. MMR vaccine)
,passive acquired immunity -Answer:-getting someone else's antibodies
natural passive acquired immunity -Answer:-Passage of antibodies through
the placenta or breast milk.
artificial passive acquired immunity -Answer:-antibodies are injected during
treatment (EX. TIG)
Biochemical mediators -Answer:-chemicals in the body that activate
responses
local inflammatory mediators -Answer:-leukotrienes, histamine,
prostaglandins
acute phase reactants -Answer:-fibrinogen, ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP)
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

lubricating fluids in the body
