he effects of vasodilation during an inflammatory response cause which of the
T
following?
Slower blood viscosity
hich of the following is a role of histamine when released by mast cells?
W
Increased Vascular Permeability
hich of the following results when histamine attaches to the H1 receptor?
W
Smooth muscle contraction, increased chemotaxis, stimulation of prostaglandin
synthesis
hich chemical mediator is responsible for prolonged asthma symptoms such as
W
bronchoconstriction and inflammation?
Leukotrienes
hich of the following are active modulators of allergic reactions in the immune
W
system?
Eosinophils
irects movement of cells along a chemical gradient, attracting eosinophils and
d
neutrophils to the site of inflammation?
Chemotaxis
hat are the functions of interferons?
W
Protect against viral infection, modulate inflammatory response
, our patient has seasonal allergic rhinitis. Which type of hypersensitivity reaction is
Y
this?
Type 1
our patient has diagnosis of Grave's disease. Which type of Hypersensitivity reaction is
Y
this?
Type 2
hich of the following is a type III hypersensitivity reaction?
W
Glomerulonephritis
hich of the following statement is true regarding Type IV Reactions?
W
The reaction is mediated by T lymphocytes
hich of the following statements are true regarding exotoxins?
W
damage cell membranes, activate second messengers, inhibit protein synthesis
immunity is produced by an individual after natural exposure to an antigen or after
immunization
Active
immunity produces immunoglobulins that bind to antigens and neutralize their effects
Humoral
stimulates the proliferation of T cells and B cells during inflammation
Interleukins
Catecholamines decrease which of the following immune system cells during chronic
stress?
Natural Killer cells
interfere with insulin signaling leading to insulin resistance in stress, obesity, and Type 2
Diabetes.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines
what type of immunity is produced when an immunoglobulin crosses the placenta?
Passive acquired
the normal microbiome
The body's surfaces are colonized with a variety of microorganisms, Surfaces, such as
skin and mucous membranes of eyes, upper and lower GI tracts, urethra and vagina are
colonized by a combination of bacteria and fungi that are unique to a particular location
and individual.
If immunocompromised the microbiome can lead to
opportunistic infections or loss of integrity of the body surface areas.
