Explain primary prevention - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Preventing"; altering
susceptibility or reducing exposure of disease for people
Explain secondary prevention - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️"Screening"; early
detection, screening, and management of disease to catch disease early before it
spreads
Explain tertiary prevention - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️"Treating" and preventing
further complications from a disorder or disease after the person has the
condition
What are examples of primary prevention? - CORRECT
ANSWERS.✔️✔️Vaccinations and Handwashing
What are examples of secondary prevention? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️PAP
smears for STDs, lab work for HBA1C check, mammogram
What are examples of tertiary prevention? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Rehab for
hip surgery, relearning ADL's after amputation, Wound care after stroke to
prevent pressure ulcer

What happens to the body during the sympathetic phase of the flight or fight
response? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Pupils dilate, salivation inhibited, increase
in HR, bronchodilation of airway, increased respirations, glucose release, inhibit
GI/GU.
What happens to the body during the parasympathetic phase of the flight or light
response? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Rest and Digest. Pupils constrict, salivation
occurs, decreased HR, bronchoconstriction,decreased respiration, GI/GU systems
resume action
Explain the role of the nucleus - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️control center of the
cell, where DNA and genes are stored, produces mRNA to help build body
proteins
Explain the role of the mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Powerhouse of
the cell. Provides energy in ATP, and has its own set of DNA
Explain the role of the ribosome - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔p ️ roduces RNA to
produce proteins through transcriptions of DNA and translation of RNA into a
protein
Explain the role of the lysosomes - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️helps breakdown
and digest dead cells, organelles, or tissues
Explain the role of the rough ER - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️folded membranes
that move proteins around the cell. Has ribosomes attached to it and helps
produce proteins for the cell membrane
SUCCESS
,STUDYSAGE
Explain the role of the smooth ER - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️helps the Liver and
kidney cells to detoxify, lipid metabolism, synthesis of hormones, and calcium
storage
Explain the role of the peroxisome - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️membrane cells
that contain oxidase and catalase to detoxify harmful chemicals, breakdown
hydrogen peroxide and filter metabolic wastes
Explain the role of the Golgi body - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️stacked membranes
that act as the sorter and packager for proteins from the ER. Helps move things in
and out of cell
Explain passive immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️the transfer of preformed
antibodies against specific antigens from a protected or immunized individual to
an unprotected or non immunized person. Provides immediate and short term
protection. No memory cells are produced. IgA and IgE. Passes protection
What are examples of passive immunity? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️mom to
fetus through placenta or mom to infant through breast milk. Serotherapy
Explain active immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️a protective state owing to
the immune system response as a result of active infection or immunization. It
has to be activated in the body and the body has to fight it to have long term
immunity
What are examples of active immunity? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Vaccinations
Explain what edema is - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️accumulation of fluid in the
interstitial space. Leads to tissue swelling
SUCCESS
, STUDYSAGE
What are some causes of edema? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️increase in the
forces that move fluid from capillaries to interstitial compartments or decrease in
the opposite.
What are factors that contribute to edema? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Increase
in hydrostatic forces in the capillaries that increases the blood volume, increased
capillary permeability, CHF, HYPTN, decrease in plasma proteins like albumin
(causes liver to hold onto more water- ascites, cirrhosis), blockage of lymph
drainage
What is a hypersensitivity? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️an overreaction to
antigens or allergens that is beyond the normal range, leading to damage
What is a type 1 hypersensitivity? - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️anaphylactic.
Occurs within 2-30mins of exposure. Can be systemic or localized. Binds to IgE
and mast cells that release histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins to create
inflammation
Mediating Factor for type 1 hypersensitivity - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️IgE
Examples of type 1 hypersensitivity - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️allergic reaction
to dust. someone eats peanuts and breaks out in hives and runny nose
How do we treat type 1 hypersensitivity reactions? - CORRECT
ANSWERS.✔️✔️antihistamines to block histamine, beta adrenergics to
bronchodilator , corticosteroids, to decrease inflammation. IgE therapy,
epinephrine given during anaphylaxis through IV or through IM in epipens
