Microbial Diseases Of The Cardiovascular And Lymphatic System Flashcards
The heart
Pumps blood
Ventricles and atria
Ventricles pump blood to the lungs and buddy, atria receives blood from the lungs and body
Heart valves
Prevent backflow of blood
The lungs
Oxygenated blood
Arteries
Carries oxygenated blood to tissue
Veins
Re-circulates used, oxygen poor blood back to the heart
Capillaries
Small blood vessels in the sight of gas nutrient exchange into tissue
The purpose of carrying oxygenated blood tissues
To oxygenate the tissue
What is the common microbial disease of the cardiovascular system in the United States
Sepsis
What do organisms cause sepsis
Gram-positive and gram-negative
Why is sepsis frequently fatal
Shock from activating the system of inflamation and dilation
What organisms produce Exotoxin’s that are associated with cardiovascular infections
Gram-positive
What organism produces endotoxins that are associated with cardiovascular infections
Graham negative
Which type of tocsin is released when I saw lysis
Gram-negative endotoxin LPS
Which type of tocsin would be dangerous even if the infection consisted only a few bacteria
Endotoxin
Which type of toxin might cause death if you were to treat the infection with the bacteriocidal antibiotic
Endotoxin
What disease of the hardest commonly caused by Oral bacteria?
What part of the heart is usually affected and what is the immune system’s role in this disease
Sub acute bacterial endocarditis
Heart valves almost chronic inflammation from the immune attacking bacteria kills the heart valves
List to disease is caused by infection with Epstein bar virus
Mono, Burkett lymphoma cancer
Why do cancer of B cells form an African children infected by EBB but not in children in the United States were infected by this virus
No malaria in the US
What is the prevalence of EBV infection in the human population
95% of human population
Define with a human reservoir disease is unless three organisms that cost cardiovascular infections that are found in a human reservoir
Comes from a human, sub acute bacterial endocarditis, EBV, gram positive and negative sepsis
Define’s on a stick disease less three cardiovascular/them Fetick disease is commonly acquired by direct contact with an infected animal and the reservoirs for each
Comes from an animal reservoir example anthrax pulmonary
Which diseases are caused by spore forming bacteria
Gas gangrene
If you have been bitten by a tick saw reddish black spots all over your body and we’re running a fever what is the most likely disease you have
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
What disease is caused by infection of the lymphatic system by worms and what is the vector of this disease
Filariasis elephantiasis caused by mosquito and black fly bites
Define zoonotic a disease list three cardiovascular lymphatic disease currently acquired by contact with an infected animal
Anthrax (livestock) bacillus anthracis
Gangrene (livestock) clostridium perfrimgens
Tularemia (rabbits) francisella tularensis
List five vector transmitted Cardiovascular and Lymphatic the Diseases and provide the vector transmitted by the organism
Lyme disease: vector ticks bacteria Borelia burgdorferi
Plague: vector tropical rat fleas
bacteria yersinia pestis
Malaria: vector mosquitoes organism plasmodium species
Filariasis: Victor mosquitoes and flies organism filarial worms
Rocky Mountain spotted fever: factor dermacentor ticks bacteria rickettsia rickettsii
What organism and causes cutaneous anthrax and what is the reservoir
Bacillus anthracis
Cattle
Define ischemia and describe the cardiovascular infection that can result in tissue necrosis and gas production
Ischemia tissue becomes necrotic due to very poor blood circulation Gas gangrene caused by clostridium per fringes.
What is the most common vector transmitted Cardiovascular Diseases in the United States where is the disease most common and how would you diagnose?
Lyme disease caused by Borelia burgdorferi spirochaete shaped, reservoir field mice transmitted by ticks, most commonly found on the East Coast diagnose classic bull’s-eye rash
