1. Types of immunity ch 7 & 8
a. Innate- natural epithelial barrier and inflammation the make innate resistance
and protection pg. 191 Innate immunity includes two lines of defense: Natural
barriers and inflammation.
i. Natural barriers- physical, mechanical, and biochemical barriers at the
body’s surfaces
ii. Inflamation- associated with infection usually initiates an adaptive
process that results in a long-term and very effective immunity to the
infecting microorganism, referred to a adaptive, acquired or specific
immunity. Use of the Epithelial cells with no memory function involved.
b. Adaptive/ acquired- immune response or immunity, after innate and
inflammation, Third line of defense, initiated when innate immune system signals
the cells of adaptive immunity. There is a delay between primary exposure to
antigen and maximum response, however there is immediate action against
secondary exposure. Response is specific toward antigen. Involves T
lymphocytes, B Lymphocytes, macrophages, and dentric cells. Specific
immunologic memory by T and B lymphocytes
i. Active (Acquired) -after natural exposure to an antigen or after
immunization pg. 227
ii. Passive (Acquired)- preformed antibodies or t lymphocytes are
transferred rom a donor to the recipient, maternal to fetus, or bone
marrow transplant pg. 227
Questions
➢ What type of immunity is produced when an immunoglobulin crosses the placenta?
▪ PASSIVE-AQUIRED IMMUNITY
➢ The mucosal secretions of the cervix secrete which immunoglobulin?
▪ IGA
➢ A student nurse asks the clinician which cells are most primary in a patient's
immunity. What is the clinician's best answer?
• LYMPHOCYTES.
➢ A nurse recalls humoral immunity is generated through the process of:
, NURSING EXAM TEST
• PRODUCING ANTIBODIES.
➢ While taking a health history, if a person has resistance to a disease from natural
exposure to an antigen, how would the nurse document this form of immunity?
• ACTIVE ACQUIRED
➢ What type of immunity will the nurse expect in an individual who is given a
vaccine?
• ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
, NURSING EXAM TEST
➢ A new mother asks the nurse about immunity of her newborn as she is
breastfeeding. The nurse's response should include a discussion on which type of
immunity?
• PASSIVE
➢ The nurse has been explaining to a student nurse about the different types of
immunity. Which response indicates that the student nurse has a good
understanding of adaptive immunity?
• BOTH THE HUMORAL AND CELL-
MEDIATED IMMUNITY DEVELOP
MEMORY
cells
➢ Cancer cells and virus-infected body cells can be killed before activation of
adaptive immunity by
• NATURAL KILLER CELLS
➢ The primary immune response .
• HAS A LAG PERIOD WHILE B CELLS
PROLIFERATE AND DIFFERENTIATE
INTO PLASMA CELLS
➢ Which of the following is true about the number of binding sites per functional
antibody unit?
• IGM CONTAINS 10 BINDING SITES.
➢ Which cell of the immune system is absolutely required for an adaptive immune
response?
• HELPER T CELL
➢ The adaptive immune system involves three major cell types: antigen-presenting
cells, T cells, which constitute cell- mediated immunity, and B cells, which govern
humoral immunity.
➢ The nurse understands that the function of IgG is as what?
• A BOND WITH TARGET CELLS AND A
PROMOTER OF PHAGOCYTOSIS
➢ The nurse understands that which type of immunity is the longest acting?
