NURS 3366- PATHOPHYSIOLOGY TEST 2 WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
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
antigens - ANSWER ->proteins located on the surface of red blood cells
(determine blood type)
antibodies - ANSWER ->Protein that is produced by lymphocytes and
that attaches to a specific antigen.
T lymphocytes (T cells) - ANSWER ->defend the body by direct attack
against invading microbes
