Immune/lymphatic disorders Flashcards

1
Q

Function of immune system

A
  1. Defense against infectious disease-causing agents
  2. Protects against mutations of our own cells (that can become tumors)
  3. Destroys unknown/foreign substances
  4. Recognizes a specific invader and develops a coordinated response

Q

Immunity

A

Body recognizes/responds/remembers harmful substances or bacteria
- innate vs acquired (natural—exposure is not deliberate— and artificial—exposure is deliberate) work in tandem and simultaneously

Q

Innate immunity

A
  • natural/native
  • body’s first line of defense to prevent pathogen entry
  • non-specific - doesn’t differentiate or remember pathogen
  • army infantry

Q

Non-specific

A

Tears, nose, intestines,

  • mucus membrane
  • intact skin
  • inflammatory response
  • phagocytosis of bacteria by WBC
  • same response regardless of type of pathogen

Q

Acquired immunity

A

Adaptive/specific: generated in nodes/spleen mucosa

  1. Natural immunity
    - active: disease produces immunity
    - passive: immunity passed mother to fetus though placenta or milk
  2. Artificial immunity
    - active: vaccination. Antigen exposure
    - passive: antibody. protective material developed in individual immune system and give to previously non-immune individual

Q

Humoral acquired immunity

A

Mediated by antibodies in saliva, blood, vaginal secretions

  • produces by B cells form bone marrow and extracellular fluid
  • faster than cell
  • passive transfer

Q

Cell-mediated acquired immunity

A
  • all viruses/some bacteria hide inside cells
  • use T cells to recognize and destroy hidden antigens
  • responsible for transplant rejection, delayed hypersensitivity. Some autoimmune diseases
  • cannot passively transfer

Q

Pic

A

Pic green

17
Q

Innate changes with aging

A

thinning of skin, decreased acidity in GI, phagocytes decreased function, platelet aggregation increases, decreased peripheral circulation

18
Q

Acquired chagnes with aging

A

Decline in humoral and cell0mediated immunity so difficult acting likely due to T cell inappropriate/insufficient help

19
Q

Fun fact about aging

A

In contrast to young adults, intense exercise does not decrease immunity not does it increase infection rate

20
Q

Moderate exercise

A
  • increased neutrophils
  • greater with eccentric contraction etc
  • delayed 2nd boost in neutrophils with ex >30 min
  • NK enhancement likely due to epinephrine levels and cytokines
  • increased WBC count
21
Q

Intense/strenuous exercise

A

Suppresses:

  • lymphocytes
  • killer cell activity
  • decreased oxygen to DNA
  • requires 6-24 hr recover
22
Q

Immunodeficiency

A

Absent or depressed immune response due to a loss of function of one or more components of the immune system

  1. Congenital: deficiencies involve a basic developmental failure, defect T cells, B cells, and lymphoid tissue, genetic
  2. Acquired: deficiencies refer to loss of the immune response due to specific causes and may occur at any time, underlying disease blocks immune response
23
Q

AIDS

A

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

  • chronic infectious disease due to HIV retrovirus
  • HIV kills T cells, resulting in loss of immune response and increased susceptibility to secondary infection
  • changes in humoral immunity and autoimmunity
  • AIDS is the active infection, with marked clinical manifestations
24
Q

Leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease

A
  1. Asymptomatic: positive for HIV but clinically healthy, exercise is safe
  2. Early symptomatic: more compromised immune system, fatigue, non-specific symtoms, low intensity exercise, individualized tax
  3. Advanced: many neuro symptoms, skin infections, wasting, pneumonia
25
Q

Rehab for pt with immunodificiency

A
  1. Pain control
  2. Energy conservation
  3. Adaptive equipment instruction
  4. Chronic disease management
26
Q

Hypersensitivity

A

Exaggerated/inappropriate immune response

- overreaction to antigen, substance, allergen

27
Q

Hypersensitivity rxn

A
  1. Immediate/anaphylactic reactions
  2. Cytotoxic reactions
  3. Immune complex region
  4. Cell meditated hypersensitivity
28
Q

Type 1: immediate / anaphylactic rxn

A

Allergic regions

  • genetic predisposition involved
  • allergen = antigen
  • large amounts of histamines are released from mast cells into general circulation
  • results in systemic vasodilation
  • significant drop in BP and edema formation in lungs (no airflow)
29
Q

S&S and treatment for type 1 hypersensitivity

A
  • S&S: hypotension, swelling, wheezing, nasal secretion, anaphylaxis, urticaria, redness, hives, itchy
  • Treatment: epinenphrine, keep warm, 911, CPR
30
Q

Type 2: cytotoxic reaction (S&S)

A
  • result of antibodies that react with antigens within the body’s own tissues
  • cellular membrane disrupted/destroyed
  • S&S: malaise, hives, sneezing, hoarseness, dyspnea, vomiting, tachycardia, anxiety, seizure
31
Q

Type 3: immune complex region (S&S)

A
  • antigen-antibody complex circulating deposit in tissue causing inflammation and local tissue damage
  • wheals, RA, synovitis =, pleuritis, pericarditis, vasculitis, systemic lupus,erythmatous
  • S&S: HA, back pain, chest pain, N/V, tachycardia, hypotension, hematuria, urticaria
32
Q

Type 4: cell-mediated hypersensitivity (S&S)

A
  • delayed hypersensitivy response
  • contact dermatitis after sensitization to allergen
  • lotion, poison ivy, latex
  • S&S: fever, aarthalgis, lymphadenopathy, urticaria, anemia
33
Q

Autoimmune disorders

A
  • body fails to distinguish self from non-self, immune system becomes self destructive
  • the exact process by which autoimmunity develops has not been established, combination of genetics, hormonal, environmental, viruses, stress (aka unknown etiology)
34
Q

Lupus

A

Body produces antibodies against its own cells

- triggered by sun

35
Q

Lymph

A
  • specialized fluid formed in the tissue spaces that is transported by lymphatic vessels to eventually re-enter the circulatory system
  • the system functions to return excess interstitial fluid and protein to the blood, to filter and destroy unwanted material from the body fluids and to initiate an immune response
