CHAPTER 2 Flashcards
NATURAL IMMUNITY
FROM OUR MOTHERS
ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
DEVELOPED OVER TIME FROM EXPOSURE
T LYMPOCYTES
WORK LOCALLY
B LYMPHOCYTES
PRODUCE ANTIBODIES
TYPE 1 HYPERSENSITIVITY RXN
ALLERY, ANAPHYLACTIC
TYPE 2 HYPERSENSITIVITY RXN
CYTOTOXIC, AUTOIMMUNCE, RH, BLOOD TYPE (IMMUNE SYSTEM WANTS TO ATTACK OURSELVES)
TYPE 3 HYPERSENSITIVITY RXN
IMMUNE COMPLEX (LUPUS, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS) (ANTIBODY/ANTIGEN COMPLEX)
TYPE 4 HYPERSENSITIVITY RXN
DELAYED RXN (TB TEST)
VACCINATION/IMMUNIZATION
VACC-DENATURE PATHOGEN (KILL OR WEAKEN), LOW VIRULANCE; INJECT IT INTO BODY SO BODY CAN DEVELOP ANTIBODIES
EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON IMMUNE RESPONSE
BOOSTS T CELL COUNT RELEASE ENDORPHINS (SLEEP & MOOD)
COUNTER WITH HIGH STRESS CREATES HIGH CORTISOL LEVEL WHICH THEN DECREASES IMMUNE SYSTEM
NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS
HEALTHCARE SETTINGS (HOSPITALS) EX. MERSA
ENDOGENOUS OR EXOGENOUS
ENDO-IN BODY (ALWAYS IN BODY, BUT IN CONTROL)
EXO-OUT OF BODY (MERSA, E-COLI)
INFECTIOUS/CONTAGIOUS
TALKING ABOUT VIRULANCE
MODE OF TRANSMISSION OF INFECTIONS
AIRBORNE (SNEEZING/COUGHING); PARTICULATE (DIARRHEA, VOMIT, BUGGERS); DIRECT CONTACT (STD, OPEN WOUND)
TYPES OF MICROORGANISMS
FUNGUS; VIRUS; BACTERIA
FUNGUS AND BACTERIAS DON’T COEXIST WELL TOGETHER EX…IF ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR A LONG TIME CAN DEVELOP FUNGAL INFECTION IN GUT
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF INFECTIONS
REDNESS; SWELLING; HEAT (LOW GRADE (UTI, POST SURGERY); PAIN; LOSS OF FUNCTION
NEOPLASM
- BENIGN (“OMA”; SIMPLE TUMOR)
- MALIGNANT (“SARCOMA” OR “CARCINOMA”; BAD TUMORS) (CANCER OR WART)
- CANCER CELLS CAN REPRODUCE QUICKER THAN THE BODY CAN KILL THEMD
CARCINOGENESIS
FORMATION/GROWTH OF
ANGIOGENESIS
CANCER CELLS DEVELOP TUMOR AND CREATE ITS OWN BLOOD SUPPLY
CARCINOGENS
CAUSES OF CANCER- UV LIGHT; SOME PESTICIDES
RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING MALIGNANT TUMORS
HEREDITARY; AGE
PT INTERVENTIONS
TREAT AFTER AFFECTS OF CANCER OR TUMOR REMOVAL
VIRULANCE
THE SEVERITY OR HARMFULNESS OF A DISEASE
