NURS 3366- PATHOPHYSIOLOGY TEST 2 (SOLVED) 100% CORRECT
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
, NURS 3366- PATHOPHYSIOLOGY TEST 2 (SOLVED) 100% CORRECT
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
B lymphocytes (B cells) - (ANSWER)differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies to the
microbe that has attacked the body
active acquired immunity - (ANSWER)a form of immunity where the body makes antibodies against a
particular disease
natural active acquired immunity - (ANSWER)when a persons plasma cells build up antibodies in
response to a microbially-induced illness (meningitis example)
artificial active acquired immunity - (ANSWER)when a person's plasma cells build up antibodies in
response to receiving inoculations of a much-weakened or inactive microbe (ex. MMR vaccine)
passive acquired immunity - (ANSWER)getting someone else's antibodies
