KUBY IMMUNOLOGY- CHAPTER 2 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS These are specialized sites in the gut and other mucosal tissues that coordinate the encounter of antigen with antigen-specific lymphocytes and their development into effector and memory cells. ex. spleen, lymph nodes - Answer - secondary lymphoid organs These organs (thymus and bone marrow) regulate the development of immune cells from immature precursors. - Answer - primary lymphoid organs It gives rise to all functionally speci...

Why is there blood in his urine? : Due to swelling/inflammation of testes, the plasma fluid must be released to relieve pressure which is done via the vas deferens then to the urethra Why is there shortness of breath? : He's in emotional stress due to the severe scrotal pain Why is there severe scrotal pain? : The kinin system activates proteins that assist with inflammatory response. A major kinin is bradykinin which causes increased permeability and acts with other compounds to pro...

causes of cell injury/stress - Answer hypoxia, physical (force, acid, temp), ionizing radiation, microbes, inflammatory/immune response, nutritional imbalance, genetic defect, aging cellular responses to stress - Answer usually differentiation is altered, but fn remains the same -cells adapt by changing their size (aka hypertrophy/atrophy), number (aka hyperplasia), or type (aka metaplasia) cellular atrophy - Answer decrease in cell size in -d/t decreased workload or adverse environment ...

Pathophysiology Proctored Final Exam.1. Activation of the classical pathway begins with: a. Viruses c. Mast cells b. Antigen-antibody complexes d. Macrophages 2. The chemotactic factor affects the inflammatory process by: a. Causing vasodilation around the inflamed area b. Stimulating smooth muscle contraction in the inflamed area c. Directing leukocytes to the inflamed area d. Producing edema around the inflamed area 3. In the later stages of an inflammatory response, which phagocytic c...

WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11 WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11: Pathophysiology Remediation Lesson 1: Homeostasis Concepts 1. Starling's Law of Capillary forces is the force behind the movements of fluid in capillary beds throughout the body. The two forces at work are hydrostatic and osmotic pressures. Homeostasis is achieved when these two forces are equal in the capillary- cell interfaces. When...

Define and describe the physical, chemical, and cellular components of the innate immune response. - Physical factors are barriers to entry or processes that remove microbes from the body's surface The epidermis consists of layers of tightly packed epithelial cells that are periodically shed. (makes up dust) That it is dry makes it inhospitable to microbes. Cebum- unsat fatty acids; inhibit growth of persperation Chemical factors are substances made by the body that inhibit microbial gr...

Why would an increased anion gap be observed in diabetic ketoacidosis or lactic acidosis? - ☑️☑️The anion gap is the calculation of unmeasured anions in the blood. Lactic acid and ketones both lead to the production of unmeasured anions, which remove HCO3- (a measured anion) due to buffering of the excess H+ and therefore leads to an increase in the AG. Why is it important to maintain a homeostatic balance of glucose in the blood (ie describe the pathogenesis of diabetes)? - ☑️...

BHCS1006 Immunity Exam Questions with All Correct Answers what can tissue damage be caused by - ANSWER • Exogenous pathogens - infections (microbes, parasites) - pollution • Endogenous agents - tumours - autoimmunity how is the innate immune system conserved - ANSWER phylogenetically what are the patterns involved in innate immunity - ANSWER Patterns of microbial components recognized and regulate the activation of innate cells and soluble proteins (complem...

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY - MODULE 2 - EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS 2022/2023 Answers highlighted Define hypersensitivity Altered immunologic response to an antigen that results in disease or damage to individual (strong genetic linkage) 2 alternate names for type 1 hypersensitivity Immediate hypersensitivity or IgE mediated reactions most common allergic reactions are type 1 Mechanisms of type 1 response 1. Sensitizing exposure 2. Re exposure (immediate response and longer term...

BMTCN StudyWhat are the two types of bone marrow? - correct answer Red bone marrow = creates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Found in long and flat bones. Yellow bone marrow and fat cells = produce fat, cartilage, and bone. Found in long bones What are the components of hematopoiesis? - correct answer Hematopoietic stem cells: develop prior to birth and are produced in the long bones during childhood and the axial skeleton in adulthood. Bone marrow microenvironmen...
