Pathophysiology Objective Questions Chp. 5
1.Explain the role of normal defenses in preventing disease- Nonspecific mechanisms are the
body's primary defense against disease. These mechanisms include anatomical barriers to
invading pathogens, physiological deterrents to pathogens, and the presence of normal flora.
When these nonspecific mechanisms fail, the body initiates a second, specific line of defense.
This specific immune response enables the body to target particular pathogens and pathogen-
infected cells for destruction. When a host encounters an antigen that triggers a specific immune
response for the second or later time, the memory lymphocytes recognize it and quickly begin
growing and dividing, as well as producing high levels of lymphokines and antibodies. A vaccine
is either a killed or weakened (attenuated) strain of a particular pathogen, or a solution containing
critical antigens from the pathogen. The body's immune system will respond to these vaccines as
if they contain the actual pathogen, even though the vaccine is not capable of causing the disease
2. Describe how changes in capillary exchange affect the tissues and the blood components-
It affects the circulation of blood to the tissues
3. Compare normal capillary exchange with exchange during the inflammatory response-
Increased capillary permeability allow increased flow of water, protein, electrolytes to form
exudate. Vasodilation and increased capillary permeability make up the vascular response to
injury. Increased capillary permeability increases and allows plasma proteins to move into
the interstitial space along with more fluid
4. Describe the local and systemic effects of inflammation- Local effects include redness,
swelling, pain, loss of function while system effects include malaise, fatigue, headache, fever
5. Explain the effects of chronic inflammation- it can have serious effects on your cellular
health, and has been linked to degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes,
Alzheimer's and many others
6. Discuss the modes of treatment of inflammation- Drugs can be used to treat inflammation
like aspirin etc. First aid measures are essential as well this includes rest, ice, compression, and
