Explain primary prevention
- ✔Preventing"; altering susceptibility or reducing exposure of disease for people
Explain secondary prevention
- ✔"Screening"; early detection, screening, and management of disease to catch disease early
before it spreads
Explain tertiary prevention
- ✔"Treating" and preventing further complications from a disorder or disease after the person
has the condition
What are examples of primary prevention?
- ✔Vaccinations and hand washing
What are examples of secondary prevention?
- ✔PAP smears for STDs, lab work for HBA1C check, mammogram
What are examples of tertiary prevention?
- ✔Rehab for hip surgery, relearning ADL's after amputation, Wound care after stroke to
prevent pressure ulcer
What happens to the body during the sympathetic phase of the flight or fight response?
- ✔Pupils dilate, salivation inhibited, increase in HR, bronchodilation of airway, increased
respirations, glucose release, inhibit GI/GU.

What happens to the body during the parasympathetic phase of the flight or light response?
- ✔Rest and Digest. Pupils constrict, salivation occurs, decreased HR, bronchoconstriction,
decreased respiration, GI/GU systems resume action
Explain the role of the nucleus
- ✔control center of the cell, where DNA and genes are stored, produces mRNA to help build
body proteins
Explain the role of the mitochondria
- ✔Powerhouse of the cell. Provides energy in ATP, and has its own set of DNA
Explain the role of the ribosome
- ✔produces RNA to produce proteins through transcriptions of DNA and translation of RNA
into a protein
Explain the role of the lysosomes
- ✔helps breakdown and digest dead cells, organelles, or tissues
Explain the role of the rough ER
- ✔folded membranes that move proteins around the cell. Has ribosomes attached to it and helps
produce proteins for the cell membrane
Explain the role of the smooth ER
- ✔helps the Liver and kidney cells to detoxify, lipid metabolism, synthesis of hormones, and
calcium storage

Explain the role of the peroxisome
- ✔membrane cells that contain oxidase and catalase to detoxify harmful chemicals, breakdown
hydrogen peroxide and filter metabolic wastes
Explain the role of the Golgi body
- ✔stacked membranes that act as the sorter and packager for proteins from the ER. Helps move
things in and out of cell
Explain passive immunity
- ✔the transfer of preformed antibodies against specific antigens from a protected or immunized
individual to an unprotected or non immunized person. Provides immediate and short term
protection. No memory cells are produced. IgA and IgE. Passes protection
What are examples of passive immunity?
- ✔mom to fetus through placenta or mom to infant through breast milk. Serotherapy
Explain active immunity
- ✔a protective state owing to the immune system response as a result of active infection or
immunization. It has to be activated in the body and the body has to fight it to have long term
immunity
What are examples of active immunity?
- ✔Vaccinations
Explain what edema is
- ✔accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space. Leads to tissue swelling

What are some causes of edema?
- ✔increase in the forces that move fluid from capillaries to interstitial compartments or
decrease in the opposite.
What are factors that contribute to edema?
- ✔Increase in hydrostatic forces in the capillaries that increases the blood volume, increased
capillary permeability, CHF, HYPTN, decrease in plasma proteins like albumin (causes liver to
hold onto more water- ascites, cirrhosis), blockage of lymph drainage
What is a hypersensitivity?
- ✔an overreaction to antigens or allergens that is beyond the normal range, leading to damage
What is a type 1 hypersensitivity?
- ✔anaphylactic. Occurs within 2-30mins of exposure. Can be systemic or localized. Binds to
IgE and mast cells that release histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins to create inflammation
Mediating Factor for type 1 hypersensitivity
- ✔IgE
Examples of type 1 hypersensitivity
- ✔allergic reaction to dust. someone eats peanuts and breaks out in hives and runny nose
How do we treat type 1 hypersensitivity reactions?
- ✔antihistamines to block histamine, beta adrenergics to bronchodilator , corticosteroids, to
decrease inflammation. IgE therapy, epinephrine given during anaphylaxis through IV or through
IM in epipens
