Types of immunity ch 7 & 8
a. Innate- natural epithelial barrier and inflammation the make
innate resistance and protection pg. 191 Innate immunity includes
two lines of defense: Natural barriers and inflammation.
i. Natural barriers- physical, mechanical, and biochemical barriers
at the
body’s surfaces
ii. Inflamation- associated with infection usually initiates an
adaptive process that results in a long-term and very
effective immunity to the infecting microorganism, referred
to a adaptive, acquired or specific immunity. Use of the
Epithelial cells with no memory function involved.
b. Adaptive/ acquired- immune response or immunity, after innate and
inflammation, Third line of defense, initiated when innate immune
system signals the cells of adaptive immunity. There is a delay
between primary exposure to antigen and maximum response,
however there is immediate action against secondary exposure.
Response is specific toward antigen. Involves T lymphocytes, B
, Lymphocytes, macrophages, and dentric cells. Specific immunologic
memory by T and B lymphocytes
i. Active (Acquired) -after natural exposure to an antigen or after
immunization pg. 227
ii. Passive (Acquired)- preformed antibodies or t
lymphocytes are transferred rom a donor to the recipient,
maternal to fetus, or bone marrow transplant pg. 227
Questions
➢ What type of immunity is produced when an immunoglobulin crosses
the placenta?
▪ Passive-aquired immunity
➢ The mucosal secretions of the cervix secrete which immunoglobulin?
▪ IgA
➢ A student nurse asks the clinician which cells are most primary in
a patient's immunity. What is the clinician's best answer?
• Lymphocytes.
➢ A nurse recalls humoral immunity is generated through the process of:
• producing antibodies.
➢ While taking a health history, if a person has resistance to a disease
from natural exposure to an antigen, how would the nurse document
this form of immunity?
• Active acquired
➢ What type of immunity will the nurse expect in an individual
who is given a vaccine?
• Active acquired immunity
,➢ A new mother asks the nurse about immunity of her newborn as she
is breastfeeding. The nurse's response should include a discussion on
which type of immunity?
• Passive
➢ The nurse has been explaining to a student nurse about the
different types of immunity. Which response indicates that the
student nurse has a good understanding of adaptive immunity?
• Both the humoral and cell-mediated immunity develop
memory
cells
➢ Cancer cells and virus-infected body cells can be killed before
activation of adaptive immunity by
• natural killer cells
➢ The primary immune response .
• has a lag period while B cells proliferate and
differentiate into plasma cells
➢ Which of the following is true about the number of binding sites per
functional
antibody unit?
• IgM contains 10 binding sites.
➢ Which cell of the immune system is absolutely required for an
adaptive immune response?
• Helper T cell
➢ The adaptive immune system involves three major cell types:
antigen-presenting cells, T cells, which constitute cell- mediated
immunity, and B cells, which govern humoral immunity.
➢ The nurse understands that the function of IgG is as what?
, • A bond with target cells and a promoter of phagocytosis
➢ The nurse understands that which type of immunity is the longest
acting?
• Natural active
➢ Natural killer cells are specialized lymphocytes that are one of the
major parts of which immunity?
• Innate
2. Alveolar ventilation/perfusion- pg. 1239 Ch 34 Effective gas exchange
depends on an approximately even distribution of gas (ventilation) and
blood (perfusion) in all portion s of the lungs. The lungs are suspended from
the hila in the thoracic cavity. When the individual is in an upright position,
gravity pulls the lungs down toward the diaphragm and compresses their
lower portions or bases.
a. Ratio between the amount of air getting into the alveoli and the
amount of blood
being sent to the lungs.
Questions
➢ A consequence of alveolar hypoxia is:
Pulmonary artery vasoconstriction
