Explain primary prevention
- Correct Answer - Preventing"; altering susceptibility or
reducing exposure of disease for people
Explain secondary prevention
- Correct Answer - "Screening"; early detection, screening, and
management of disease to catch disease early before it
spreads
Explain tertiary prevention
- Correct Answer - "Treating" and preventing further
complications from a disorder or disease after the person has
the condition
What are examples of primary prevention?
- Correct Answer - Vaccinations and Handwashing
What are examples of secondary prevention?
,- Correct Answer - PAP smears for STDs, lab work for HBA1C
check, mammogram
What are examples of tertiary prevention?
- Correct Answer - 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 Answer - 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 Answer - Rest and Digest. Pupils constrict, salivation
occurs, decreased HR, bronchoconstriction, decreased
respiration, GI/GU systems resume action
Explain the role of the nucleus
- Correct Answer - 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 Answer - Powerhouse of the cell. Provides energy in
ATP, and has its own set of DNA
Explain the role of the ribosome
- Correct Answer - produces RNA to produce proteins through
transcriptions of DNA and translation of RNA into a protein
Explain the role of the lysosomes
- Correct Answer - helps breakdown and digest dead cells,
organelles, or tissues
Explain the role of the rough ER
- Correct Answer - folded membranes that move proteins
around the cell. Has ribosomes attached to it and helps
produce proteins for the cell membrane
Explain the role of the smooth ER
- Correct Answer - helps the Liver and kidney cells to detoxify,
lipid metabolism, synthesis of hormones, and calcium storage
Explain the role of the peroxisome
- Correct Answer - 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 Answer - 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 Answer - 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 Answer - mom to fetus through placenta or mom to
infant through breast milk. Serotherapy
Explain active immunity
- Correct Answer - 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 Answer - Vaccinations
