NURS 3366- PATHOPHYSIOLOGY TEST 2 (SOLVED)
100% CORRECT




Innate (natural) resistance Answer - defense mechanisms we are born with.


1st line of resistance Answer - body's physical barriers; immediate and non-
specific


2nd line of resistance Answer - inflammation; immediate and non-specific


Acquired (adaptive) immunity Answer - 3RD line of defense; delayed and
specific; able to resist certain diseases or conditions due to immunocyte
involvement


First line of defense Answer - skin and mucous membranes


Stressors that can breach skin defense Answer - lacerations, abrasions,
punctures


Eye's defense Answer - tears, eyelashes


sressors that can breach eye's defense Answer - dry eye syndrome, sjogren's
syndrome

, Sjogren's syndrome Answer - autoimmune disease that dries up all lubricating
fluids in the body


respiratory system defenses Answer - mucus and hair in nose; cilia of cells in
bronchi; cough reflex


GI system defenses Answer - saliva, stomach acid, gag reflex/vomiting, bowels,
defecation


Genitourinary system defenses Answer - urine flow, vaginal secretions


Inflammation Answer - second line of defense; state on Innate defense;
immediate and nonspecific


S/S of inflammation Answer - swelling, heat, redness and pain


Inflammation Example 1 Answer - first line of defense (skin) is breached with a
laceration -->clot formation to stop bleeding-->scab formed to seal breach


Inflammation Example 2 Answer - meningitis microbe is inhaled (breaches 1st
line of defense mucous membranes)-->inflammation-->inflammation can't heal
on it's own and calls in 3rd line of defense (immunocyte response)-->acquired
immunity


immunocyte response Answer - acquired defense; 3rd line of defense; delayed
and specific; results in ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
