Q

What is the NP role in managing infection?

A

Thymus

29

Is the primary or secondary immune response more rapid?

A

Secondary

30

Along with eosinophils, responds to allergy and parasitic infections.

A

IgE

31
Q

B cells or T cells?

IgE

A

B cells

32
Q

B cells or T cells?

From bone.

A

B cells

33
Q

By middle age, thymus is at _____% of its initial size.

A

15%

34
Q

IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD?

Present in all internal body fluids.

A

IgG

35
Q

When is the lowest total Ig level?

A

3-4 months old

36
Q

Innate or acquired immunity?

Natural immunity.

A

Innate

37
Q

_____ cells become memory cells. In future, can mount specific IgG, IgA, or IgE response.

A

B cells

38
Q

IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD?

Can’t cross the placenta and is low in newborns?

A

IgM

39
Q

When are stem cells seeded in the appendix?

A

11-12 weeks

40
Q

IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD?

Production begins around week 2/13 days and reaches adult levels at age 6-7.

A

IgA

41
Q

IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD?

Unclear significance.

A

IgD

42
Q

Innate or acquired immunity?

Builds with age.

A

Acquired

43
Q

IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD?

Remains after an infection has resolved.

A

IgG

44
Q

T/F Younger people are more prone to autoimmune diseases.

A

False. Older people are b/c their immune system decreases, leading to infections being able to develop more easily.

45
Q

_____ function (not absolute value) declines after middle age.

A

T cell

46
Q

When are stem cells seeded in the thymus?

A

8 weeks

47
Q

When are stem cells seeded in the spleen?

A

8 weeks

48
Q

Innate or acquired immunity?

Phagocytic cells respond.

A

Innate

49
Q

When does hematopoiesis begin in the fetal liver?

A

6 weeks

50
Q

When are adult levels of IgM reached?

A

1 year old

51
Q

IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD?

Some is received via breastmilk.

A

IgA

52
Q

How do T cells differ in neonates?

A

T cells are present in high numbers and normal newborns can develop antigen-specific T-cell response.

53
Q

T/F Neonates have impaired phagocytosis.

A

True. It’s possible to have severe immunodeficiency without it being recognized.

54
Q

When are stem cells seeded in the lymph nodes?

A

11-12 weeks

55
Q

T/F Deficiencies in IG subclasses may exist even when total IG levels are normal.

A

True. Happens specifically with IgG and IgA.

56
Q

When is IgM made?

A

During the primary immune response. Antigen is carried to the lymph node. Virgin B cells respond. If affinity for antigen is sufficient, B cell develops into antibody-producing plasma cell. At this point, IgM is made. CD40 glycoprotein acts with CD154 on T cells to proliferate B cells and synthesize IgM.

57
Q

T/F Newborns cannot make specific antibodies until 3-4 months old, which is why breastfeeding is so important.

A

False. They can make specific antibodies at birth.

58
Q

B cells or T cells?

From the thymus.

A

T cells

59
Q

T/F Ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells differs in neonates compared to adults.

A

True

60
Q

When are stem cells seeded in the clavicles?

A

8 weeks

61
Q

Why do newborns require conjugated vaccines?

A

Newborns cannot mount an immune response to polysaccharide antigens until after 2 years of age. So polysaccharide vaccines are ineffective.
