Question:
What lab tests can detect inflammation in the body?
Answer:
C Reactive protein and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Question:
What is a C-reactive protein test?
Answer:
increased level can show systemic inflammation.
Question:
What is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate test?
Answer:
measures the rate at which the red blood cells in a sample settle at the bottom.
Increased level shows systemic inflammation.
,Question:
What is the role of histamine and what effect does it have on the body during
immune response?
Answer:
increases the permeability of blood capillaries, vasodilation, hives and itchiness.
Question:
What is the role of bradykinin and what effect does it have on the body during
immune response?
Answer:
released from injured cells that stimulates pain receptors and the mast cells to
release histamine, prostaglandins and leukotrienes to increase blood flow.
Question:
What is the role of leukotrienes and what effect does it have on the body during
immune response?
Answer:
stimulate contraction of smooth muscles. Happens in the respiratory tract when the
trachea closes up.
Question:
What is the role of prostaglandins and what effect does it have on the body during
immune response?
Answer:
,affects smooth muscle and increases mucus secretion. The trachea starts to grow
tight with mucus stuck in it.
Question:
Explain innate immunity
Answer:
you are born with it. It occurs on the initial exposure to an antigen and there are
chemical and physical barriers to prevent invasion such as the skin, mucus
membranes, enzymes and pH. Fever, inflammation and phagocytosis is included.
Question:
Specific or nonspecific: innate Immunity
Answer:
nonspecific
Question:
Explain adaptive immunity
Answer:
slow to develop. More efficient when there is subsequent exposure. Cells will
create memory. Recognizer foreign invaders and destroys foreign invaders. More
effective defenses. B Cell= humoral immunity and produces antibodies. T cells are
, cell mediated immunity and involve T helper and cytotoxic T cells to activate cells
to fight foreign invaders.
Question:
Specific or nonspecific: adaptive immunity
Answer:
specific
Question:
What is antimicrobial resistance and what factors contribute to it in
microorganisms?
Answer:
resistant strains of microorganisms emerge following exposure to antibiotics,
making it harder to treat. Caused by excessive use of antibiotics or subtherapeutic
dosing.
Will need stronger antibiotics to cure.
Question:
How can we prevent the spread of microorganisms in healthcare?
Answer:
Must always keep a sterile field if working in one, washing hands, wearing PPE
when needed.
