1. Describe the significance of the resolution phase in the immune response to an infection.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . The resolution phase involves the production of more immune cells.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . The resolution phase marks the beginning of a new infection.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
The resolution phase indicates that the infection has been cleared and
. . . .. .. . . .. .. . . ..
.. normal physiological function is restored. .. .. .. ..
. . The resolution phase is when inflammation begins to increase.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
2. Adelayed hypersensitivity reaction (develops in sensitized individual 24-48 hours after
. . . . . . . . .. .
contact with antigen) is classified as:
. . .. .. .. ..
. . Type IV: ..
.. Type II: ..
.. Type I: ..
.. Type III: ..
3. Which of the following statements defines exudate?
.. .. .. .. .. ..
..The escape of fluid from blood vessels or lymphatics and its collection
. . . . . . . . . . ..
.in a body cavity or in tissues.
. . . . . .
.. Atype of white blood cell that is used to diagnose systemic lupus erythematosus
. . . . . . . . . . . . ..
.. (SLE).
..Atype of fluid that accumulates in the cavities of the body and is composed of
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .
.high levels of protein, inflammatory cells, and other substances.
. . . . . . . ..
, A type of fluid that accumulates in the cavities of the body and is
. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
composed primarily of water and small amounts of electrolytes and protein.
.. .. .. . .. . .. .. .. ..
4. Infected mothers can transmit viral infections to offspring:
.. .. .. . .. .. ..
In utero, during delivery through infected birth canal, and after birth by
. . .. . . . . . . . . .. ..
.. ingestion of breast milk .. .. ..
. . In utero ..
. . After birth by ingestion of breast milk
.. .. .. .. .. ..
. . During delivery through infected birth canal
.. .. .. .. ..
5. __________ are cells that release histamine in an IgE hypersensitivity response.
. .. . .. .. .. . .. .. .
.. Mast cells ..
. . T cells ..
. . B cells ..
.. Dendritic cells ..
6. Describe how increased vascular permeability contributes to the inflammatory
.. .. .. . .. .. .. ..
response.
.
. . Increased vascular permeability reduces blood flow to the injured area.
.. . .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
..Increased vascular permeability allows fluid and immune cells to enter
. . . . . . . . ..
.tissues, facilitating the inflammatory response.
.. .. .. ..
.. Increased vascular permeability only affects blood flow, not immune response.
.. . .. . .. .. .. .. ..
.. Increased vascular permeability prevents immune cells from reaching the site of
.. . .. .. .. . .. .. .. ..
.. injury.
,7. Describe the significance of phagocytosis in the immune response.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Phagocytosis only occurs in the presence of antibodies. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Phagocytosis is crucial for engulfing and destroying pathogens, thereby
.. . . . . . . . ..
preventing infection and promoting healing.
. . . . .
. . Phagocytosis is primarily involved in the production of antibodies.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Phagocytosis is a process that only occurs in the lymphatic system.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
8. Describe the role of neutrophils inType III hypersensitivity reactions.
. . . . . . .. .. .
. . Neutrophils suppress the immune response to prevent tissue damage.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Neutrophils activate complement proteins to enhance the immune response.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Neutrophils produce antibodies that neutralize the antigens involved in the
. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .
. reaction.
Neutrophils are recruited to the site of immune complex deposition, where they
.. . . . . . . . . . .. .
attempt to phagocytize the complexes, leading to
. . . . . . .
inflammation and tissue damage. .. .. ..
9. What is the primary action of bactericidal medications?
.. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Kill bacteria ..
. . Enhance immune response .. ..
. . Promote bacterial reproduction . . ..
. . Inhibit bacterial growth .. ..
10. What is the primary indication that an infection has been resolved in the immune
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
response?
.
. . New immune cells are produced.
.. .. .. ..
, . . Symptoms of the infection remain. .. .. .. ..
. . Inflammation persists. ..
. . The body has returned to normal.
.. .. .. .. ..
11. What is the primary change in symptoms during the decline stage of an infection?
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Symptoms worsen ..
. . Symptoms become more severe .. .. ..
. . Symptoms lessen ..
. . Symptoms remain the same .. .. ..
12. Describe the relationship between vascular collapse and anaphylaxis in the
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . context of
.
the immune response.
. . .
Vascular collapse occurs as a result of anaphylaxis, where severe allergic
. . . .. . . . . . . .. ..
reactions lead to a critical drop in blood pressure.
.. . . . . . . .. ..
. . Vascular collapse is a normal response to minor allergic reactions.
. .. .. .. .. .. .. . ..
. . Vascular collapse is unrelated to anaphylaxis and occurs due to dehydration.
. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Vascular collapse is a condition that only occurs in autoimmune disorders.
. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
13. What are the three main approaches to manage infections during pregnancy?
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . Vaccination, herbal remedies, and rest .. .. .. ..
. . Monitoring, pharmacological treatments, and preventive measures
.. .. .. .. ..
. . Antibiotics, blood transfusions, and isolation .. .. .. ..
