EXAM 3 Flashcards
identify the medications that at higher then endogenous levels will reduce hypersensitivity reactions (i.e. rash, hives, difficulty breathing) because they directly cause immunosuppression.
corticosteroids
identify the term for conditions in which the body produces antibodies against self antigens
autoimmunity
T or F. second and subsequent exposures to antigens for which antibodies have been previously produced, usually cause an increase in circulating IgG antibodies within a matter of hours.
True
T or F. Fenestrated capillaries are present in the intestine and kidney; continues capillaries are present in the liver and spleen as they allow large molecules and cells to exit the circulation.
False
getting sick with measles or chicken pox
natural active immunity
breastfeeding a newborn baby
natural passive immunity
getting a tetanus booster every 10 years
artificial active immunity
skin rash caused by poison ivy
natural active immunity
receiving rabies gamma globulin injection after being exposed to a rabid dog
artificial passive immunity
responds to individual specific antigens
acquired or specific immunity
can cause allergic reactions to specific antigens
acquired or specific immunity
depends on B and T lymphocytes
acquired or specific immunity
present in humans at birth
innate or non-specific immunity
most directly affected by normal aging
acquired or specific immunity
includes the skin and mucous membranes
innate or non-specific immunity
neutrophils and monocytes perform phagocytosis
innate or non-specific immunity
includes complement, interferons, and general inflammation (‘itis”)
innate or non-specific immunity
first type of antibody formed after initial antigen exposure
IgM
antibody present in body secretions
IgA
antibody present in largest quantity in plasma
IgG
specific type of antibody measured by a titer
IgG
antibody elevated with allergies or parasites
IgE
antibody that increases quickly after second exposure to an antigen
IgG
antibody that improves lymphocyte ability to bind antigens
IgD
antigen high in colostrum
IgA
three functions of immune system
- fluid balance
- fat absorption
- defense/protection/immunity
identify or briefly explain two distinctly different outcomes (i.e. learned responses) of immune tolerance.
- learns self vs. non-self and produces a response
- marks self antigen to learn whats apart of it and whats foreign
mostly present in blood
B cells
created in bone marrow
both B and T cells
(match with B cells, T cells, both, or neither) produces antibodies
B cells
(match with B cells, T cells, both, or neither) found most often in tissues
T cells
(match with B cells, T cells, both, or neither) makes plasma and memory cells
B cells
(match with B cells, T cells, both, or neither) fully matured by the thymus
T cells
identify two distinctly different yet specific causes of immunosuppression?
lack of sleep (stress)
improper diet
lack of physical activity
Removal of spleen
briefly but specifically define the term “hypersensitivity” as it applies to the physiological response it represents.
overreaction of a specific-immune system
identify two distinctly different things often called allergies that are not truly a hypersensitivity
- “milk allergy”- lactose intolerance, (people are missing gene for lactase enzyme)
- “allergic to medications”- side effect (involves not antibodies, just irritates the gut because the gut doesn’t like it)
briefly define the hygiene hypothesis for a third grader to understand how it might apply to their life.
- there is such a thing as being too clean
- since the body has not been fully allowed to develop a tolerance it is
- more likely to develop the risk of hypersensitivity.

BONUS*
a. for those who had not been previously vaccinated for Hepatitis A, what specifically was their injection?
b. why were they specifically given this type of injection?
c. for those who had been previously vaccinated for Hepatitis A, what specifically was in their injections?
d. why were they specifically given this type of injection??
a. pre-formed antibodies (IgG)
b. they need immediate protection, need something that will gets rid of hepatitis quickly since the body has never been exposed to this virus.
c. booster shot, antigens
d. to immediately combat exposure
identify the name of the serous membrane of the thoracic cavity
pleura
identify the name of the serous membrane of the abdominal cavity
peritoneum
identify the specific medical term that identifies the gall bladder
cholecyst
identify the specific sac-like lung structures in which most of the ling gas exchange occurs.
alveoli
identify specifically what keeps lung sacs from total collapse, even during forced exhalation
surfactant
identify the specific opening in the larynx through which air enters the respiratory tract
glottis
identify the space defined as the common area for both the digestive and respiratory system
pharynx
name the specific blood vessels that take fully oxygenated blood away from the lungs
pulmonary veins
name the specific blood vessels that deliver less oxygenated blood to lungs for oxygenation
pulmonary arteries
identify the most common waste molecule of aerobic respiration in humans
CO2
identify a specific intestinal structure that increases digestion e surface ares for absorption
microvilli
identify the specific molecule most often responsible for regulation of normal breathing
CO2
identify the specific substance missing in premature babies born before 7 months of pregnancy; this deficiency can cause respiratory desires syndrome at birth
surfactant
identify the specific valve-like structure that prevents food/water from entering the trachea
epiglottis
