Ch.25 Microbial Diseases Of The Digestive System Flashcards
Structure and Function of the Digestive System:
~ 80% of the immune system is located in the — tract
* Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT): —— & ——
- Intestinal
- Lymph nodes & Peyer’s Patches
Diseases of the Digestive System are the — most common illness in the United States
Second
The GI tract, or alimentary canal, consists of the —, —, —, —, ——, and ——
Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
In the GI tract, with — and — help from accessory structures, large food molecules are broken down into smaller molecules that can be transported by — or — to cells
- Chemical and Mechanical
- Blood or Lymph
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay)
~ Dental caries begin when —— and — are eroded and the pulp is exposed to ——
- Tooth enamel & Dentin
- Bacterial Infection
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay)
~ ——, found in the mouth, uses — to form dextran from glucose and lactic acid from fructose
- Streptococcus Mutans
- Sucrose
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay)
~ Bacteria adhere to teeth by the sticky —, forming ——
- Dextran
- Dental Plaque
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay)
~ Acid produced during carbohydrate — destroys tooth enamel at the site of the plaque
Fermentation
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay)
~ Gram — pods and Filamentous bacteria can penetrate into dentin and pulp
Positive
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay)
~ Caries are prevented by restricting the ingestion of — and by the — removal of plaque
- Sucrose
- Physica;
Periodontal Disease:
~ Caries of the cementum and gingivitis are caused by streptococci, actinomycetes, and — gram — bacteria
- Anaerobic
- Negative
Periodontal Disease:
~ ——— can cause bone destruction and tooth loss; — is due to an inflammatory response to a variety of bacteria growing on the gums
- Chronic gum disease (periodontitis)
- Periodontitis
Periodontal Disease:
~ Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is often caused by ——
Provo tells intermedia
Bacterial Diseases of the Lower Digestive System:
~ A GI — is caused by the growth of a pathogen in the intestines and incubation times range from 12 hours to 2 weeks. Symptoms of — generally include a fever
Infection, Infection
Bacterial Diseases of the Lower Digestive System
~ A bacterial — results from ingesting performed bacterial toxins and symptoms appear 1 to 48 hours after ingestion of the toxin. Fever is not usually a symptom of —
~ These condition are usually treated with — and — replacement
- Intoxication, Intoxication
- Fluid & Electrolyte
Staphylococcal Food Poisoning
~ Staphylococcal food poisoning is caused by the ingestion of a —
Enterotoxin
Staphylococcal Food Poisoning
~ —— is inoculated into foods during preparation. The bacteria grow and produce enterotoxin in food stored at room temperature
S.aureus
Shigellosis(Bacillary Dysentery)
~ Shigellosis is caused by any four species of —
Shigella
Shigellosis (Bacillary Dysentery)
~ Symptoms include — and — in stools, ——, and — and begin 12 to 36 hours after eating large numbers of —. Septic shock can occur in infants and elderly
- Blood & mucus, abdominal cramps, fever
