Question 3

Disease mediated by the action of toxins.
A.) toxicology
B.) toxinosis
C.) intoxication
D.) infection
E.) antitoxins
F.) toxoid

Answer 3

B.) toxinosis

Question 4

_______ is the capacity of microbes to make and secrete toxins.

Answer 4

Toxigenicity

Question 5

Are toxins soluble or insoluble in aqueous solutions?

Answer 5

soluble
(toxins can easily be transported to different parts of the body via the blood and lymph)
(often associated with systemic infections)

A.) toxicology
B.) toxinosis
C.) intoxication
D.) infection
E.) antitoxins
F.) toxoid

Answer 6

F.) toxoid

Question 7

The study of toxins, including structure, mechanism of action, regulation, etc.
A.) toxicology
B.) toxinosis
C.) intoxication
D.) infection
E.) antitoxins
F.) toxoid

Answer 7

A.) toxicology

Question 8

Results from the ingestion of preformed toxins; does not require the pathogen to be alive; quick onset of signs and symptoms.
A.) toxicology
B.) toxinosis
C.) intoxication
D.) infection
E.) antitoxins
F.) toxoid

Answer 8

C.) intoxication

Question 9

Antibodies produced by the body (animal host) to neutralize toxins.
A.) toxicology
B.) toxinosis
C.) intoxication
D.) infection
E.) antitoxins
