pathogenic organisms
Pathogenic microbes that cause disease in healthy people are called ______
true pathogens
The terms infection refers to ___________________________
pathogens penetrating host defenses
_______ is a preparation of a pathogen or its products used to induce active immunity.
Vaccine
_______ immunity is when you come in contact with something and YOUR BODY fights it off and produces antibodies.
Active
If a large enough number of individuals can be immunized, ______ immunity is achieved and the transmission of communicable diseases among people is interrupted.
herd
_______ immunity is also herd immunity.
Community
______ means that your body PRODUCES an IMMUNE RESPONSE. YOU FORMED THE RESPONSE. There are two types.
Active
_______ ______ _____ is where you got an infection (cold, virus, bacteria) and your body responded and developed antibodies. Some bacteria your body cannot form an active immunity (UTI- because the microbes are able to change and aren’t stable enough) Your body develops antibodies.
Naturally Acquired Active Immunity
_______ ______ ______ this is where vaccines come into play. Health care workers introduce antigens into vaccines, they inject it or have someone consume it. Your body develops antibodies.
Artificially Acquired Active Immunity
_______ _______this is where antibodies or protective cells are in something and they are passed on to you but they are passed on to you in that form and your body didn’t have to do anything to develop it and there passive as in they don’t last long, for a few months or weeks.
Passive Immunization
_______ ______ ______ _____is like when you’re born, Your mother transferred IGG through the placenta, why we’re concerned with organisms and pathogens bc they can pass through the placenta. Breastfeed- double protected: Secretory IGA.
Naturally Acquired Passive Immunity
______ _________ _______ is When you get preformed antibodies. If you have a pt who has HEP B or HIV, so instead of waiting to see if you contracted it you can get plasma from someone else and they purify it and inject it into you, flooding your body with IGG. (Immunoglobulin shot) If you’ve been bitten by a snake we can give you an antitoxin that will flood your body that will bind to the toxin to keep you from dying.
Artificially Acquired Passive
Many vaccines are given in _________ to protect against infections that are usually acquired early in life.
childhood
The objective of ______ immunization is to provide transient protection against a particular infection.
passive
