2 Feedback systems Correct Answers Negative and positive
acquired immunity Correct Answers Active
-actively engage with antigen
-disease and vaccinations
-long lasting
Passive
-receiving antibodies from external source (mother and baby or
mother and newborn)
-short lived
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Correct Answers most
common
affect primarily children --> down syndrome kids are risk
responds well to therapy/good prognosis
acute myeloid leukemia (AML) Correct Answers Affects
primarily adults
Responds fairly well to treatment
Prognosis somewhat worse than that of acute lymphoblastic
leukemia
acute tissue rejection Correct Answers -most common
-treatable
,-between 4 days and 3 months
-inflammatory process: redness, swelling, fever, pain
--after the normal function
--watch intake and outtake
adaptive defenses Correct Answers -specific
-develop over time
-uses memory system
-distinguishes self from non-self and between pathogens
-includes: Tcells (cell mediated immunity) and Bcells (humoral
immunity)
AIDS Treatment Correct Answers no cure
-combinations therapy works best
-may have to change regimen due to viral adaptation
-medicines used to help other infections
-transmission prevention
alterations in cell growth Correct Answers -neoplasm or
tumor: cancer cell growth no longer a normal cell
-cancer
-carcinogenesis -- 3 stages
anemia Correct Answers disorder of the erythrocytes that
impairs the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood
aplastic Anemia Correct Answers rare but serious form
pancytopenia - lower WBC and RBC and platelets in the blood
,aplastic anemia causes Correct Answers idiopathic,
autoimmune, medications, medical treatments, viruses, and
genetic abnormalities
sudden and severe
Aplastic Manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment Correct
Answers manifestations: anemia, leukcytopenia, and
thrombocytopenia
diagnosis: CBC and bone marrow biopsy
treatment: identify/ treat underlying cause, bone marrow
transplant
apoptosis Correct Answers when the cell is programmed to die
atrophy Correct Answers decreased cell size and number
-not being used enough so the cell shrinks
autoimmune disorders Correct Answers -immune system loses
the ability to recognize self
-defenses are directed against host
-can affect any tissue
-mechanisms that triggers this response is not clear
-more prevalent in females
-frequent, progressive periods of exacerbations & remissions
, autosomal dominant disorders Correct Answers transmitted
from an affected parent to offspring regardless of gender
-delayed onset (not always present at birth)
-ex. marfan syndrome and neurofibromatosis
autosomal recessive disorders Correct Answers -rare
-transmitted from affected parent regardless of gender
-only in homozygous allele pairs
-onset early
-usually caused by a deficient enzyme
-ex. PKU and Tay-sachs
Benign tumor Correct Answers better one
-slow growing
-grow overtime
-do not move (stay at the site or origin)
-often found with pain because the tumor is growing and
pushing against other organs and tissues
bleeding precautions Correct Answers electric razor, soft tooth
brush, watch for bruising, injury prevention
cachexia (wasting syndrome) Correct Answers general state of
ill health involving marked weight loss and muscle loss
cancer diagnosis Correct Answers -diagnostic procedures
-screening tests
-tumor markers
