Pathophysiology Ch 3 Distinction guaranteed

Pathophysiology Ch 3 When the immune system reacts appropriately to an antigen and homeostasis is maintained, this is termed - ANS immunocompetence. The acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease is - ANS active. Immunoglobulins that provide the ability to recognize foreign organisms stimulating the antigen-antibody reaction are called - ANS B-cells. The group of diseases that occur when antibodies develop and begin to destroy the body's own cells is - ANS autoimmune diseases. Decreased gastric production of hydrochloric acid and the resulting shortage of the intrinsic factor cause - ANS pernicious anemia. A patient with a platelet deficiency and the inability of blood to clot has - ANS idiopathic thrombocytopenic anemia. An autoimmune condition in which erythrocytes (RBCs) are destroyed by antibodies, causing the patient to experience fatigue, chills, fever, dyspnea, and jaundice, is - ANS autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
